Typical web developer. He didn’t even know files can be deleted without going into „recycle bin”

Screenshots of git issues are one of my favorite genres of meme
Often times, people learn that the stove is hot by touching it.
It's easier to blame the stove than the person who touched it. But if you laugh when you watch it happen, you're probably not laughing at the stove.

Doing a git clean is a dick move.
The user clicked an option to "discard" all changes. They then got a very clear pop-up saying that this is destructive and cannot be undone (there's a screenshot in the thread).
I very much understand how one can think this would revert any changes done to files under version control but not delete the ones that are not. I believe this dialog has since been updated to explicitly state that fact.
Yes, the dialog was changed, as part of this linked issue (and maybe again after that; this whole incident is very old). After reading some of the comments on that issue, I agree with the reasoning with some of the commenters that it would be less surprising for that menu option to behave like git reset --hard and not delete tracked files.

In reality, VSCode has local file history called "Timeline". It's enabled by default.
