Managers would get mad at me for not delivering things on time, when I could say "the cat ate my homework" seems like people sabotaged my career got to the rest of Google.
The worst thing knowing while my code changes were being sabotaged everybody else's seemed to be fine.
You can't make an accusation like that without furnishing some sort of evidence/documentation. Even if you're not trying to post this for internet points, it'd be still worth the effort into collecting the evidence, because you can use it later to convince your coworkers/managers that you're not at fault.
What should I have done take screenshots every 5 minutes?
Your response seems so inept. I’m posting on the internet in case anyone has to deal with something similar there’s a trail of evidence. Downvoting would be the same as agreeing with the Nazis.
I don’t expect people to believe me, just putting my experience into the space.
1. OBS allows you to take 60 screenshots a second (hint: a video is a sequence of images) with zero effort
2. Can't you take a single screenshot when you're done and sending it off for review? Or at the end of each day if you're working on a massive change?

A random off topic comment in a random hacker news thread isn't going to help anyone. "My dog ate my homework and btw there's this anonymous commenter on this thread about google drive data loss that says the same thing" is only marginally more credible than "my dog ate my homework". If anything the former makes you look worse. Why were you wasting time surfing hacker news rather than coding? Or at the very least gathering actual evidence that spooky things are happening with the VCS?
