__LINE__ returns the line of code its on, and % 10 means “remainder 10.” Examples:

1 % 10 == 1
...
8 % 10 == 8
9 % 10 == 9
10 % 10 == 0 &lt;-- loops back to 0
11 % 10 == 1
12 % 10 == 2
...
19 % 10 == 9
20 % 10 == 0
21 % 10 == 1

In code, 0 means false and 1 (and 2, 3, 4, …) means true.

So, if on line 10, you say:

int dont_delete_database = true;

then it will expand to:

int dont_delete_database = ( 10 % 10 );
// 10 % 10 == 0 which means false
// database dies...

if you add a line before it, so that the code moves to line 11, then suddenly it works:

// THIS COMMENT PREVENTS DATABASE FROM DYING
int dont_delete_database = ( 11 % 10 );
// 11 % 10 == 1, which means true

I’m doing a solo coding project for work. It’s a tool that you interact with similar to npm or cargo, where you can create a new workspace, run / test etc. Importantly, you have to be in the working directory for the commands to work…

Yesterday I decided to go home early to do remote work at home. Before i left i quickly did git add ., committed and pushed. I turned on my computer this morning, ran git pull, and noticed that… only some files got pushed, but more importantly none of the code i wrote yesterday made it through. Yup, I was still cd’d into my workspace folder and not at the project root, so I only committed the mock workspace folder 😄

Luckily i didnt write or change much this time, but lesson learned: git add -A or git commit -am '...'
