@AlmondSauce we've only had oldschool developers until now. We've just recently started using a real IDE instead of some editor in our terminal running on the server. The dev department is just starting to modernize, a version control is planned but there is just not yet (a real) one.

@jonii if I were you, I would use git until they roll something out. Sync down other people's changes and simply commit it with a message that makes it clear it is other people's work. You would have avoided this issue.

@nathanasius eventhough that is a great idea and even when we leave out what my boss says about that, I just don't have the time right now to figure out implement it in our system nor to figure out how exactly git works, because I haven't used it yet (I'm still a learning dev)

@Fast-Nop we have daily backups, but they're not that easy accessible.

@jonii That's like saying you don't have time to learn how to operate a parachute before you go skydiving. Git is very easy to learn, and you can setup local repositories in no time at all. It's worth the effort.
Today is the first time I really wished we would use git, or some good version control. My coworker kept working on my project while I was on vacation and now something isn't working. I'm just not sure if it's not working because I was dumb enough to accidentally STRG+X (I know, I'm dumb) some of his lines or whatever, but the point is I have no way to trace back what it looked like before and now I gotta fill the blanks by deduction I guess
