Watched a guy lose 4 hours of work at a Nashville code meetup because he never hit save

I was at a beginner JavaScript workshop in Nashville last Saturday and the guy next to me spent 4 hours building a to-do app without once saving his file or turning on autosave. When his laptop battery died at 3 percent, everything vanished and he just sat there staring at a blank screen. Do you save after every few lines or do you trust autosave to catch it?
