Is the GAE SDK causing more harddisk failures then average? Am I at risk having the SDK on my harddisk? I have it now for almost a year on my computer.
Possible solutions for all coders losing there code. 1) use an SVN/GIT/SCCS/CVS/RCS/... version control system, repository on a different computer/harddisk (use an editor that can handle this VCS, have a look at emacs, never to late to learn it) 2) make a copy of the code daily on a different harddisk (there are tools for this, secondcopy and such) 3) make a copy of the code daily on an external USB device 4) make a copy of the code daily by FTP to an external computer. 5) make a zip of the code daily and mail it to yourself to a web based email account (eq. gmail) (7 Gb zipped code is a lot) (maybe an incremental zip) If one of these methods is too much you don't value your doodle. Hopefully Google will never enable the source download because google accounts are sometimes hacked and that means that anybody can borrow my code.
