That coding bootcamp workshop at WeWork last month nearly wrecked my project

I went to a free Saturday session for beginners in Denver and the instructor told us to skip version control for 'speed'. I spent 3 days trying to undo changes I made to my HTML file with no backup. Has anyone else gotten bad advice from these pop-up coding events?

I mean yeah that sounds annoying but like... skipping version control for a beginner Saturday workshop isn't the end of the world. You probably learned more from that mistake than you would have from the actual lesson.

Honestly this is solid advice. I've lost more brain cells debugging a workshop project with no commits than I ever saved skipping the git setup.
