My first big project just crashed my computer and I lost everything
I was working on a simple to-do list app in Python last night, about 3 hours into it, and I guess I had too many browser tabs open. My computer just froze up and I had to force shut it down. I hadn't saved my code at all because I was in the zone. Now I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to recover unsaved files from VS Code or if I just have to start over from scratch. Has anyone else had this happen and found a good auto save setting or something?

Start saving every 5 minutes. It's an easy habit to learn.

That works fine until your power goes out, @emmawood.
