Was in too much shock to post this yesterday. I was demoing how to setup a Dev Drive for ~25% perf improvement, & while cleaning it up at the end of the demo I accidentally deleted my real Dev Drive instead of the dummy one I created for the demo. All local code gone! How's your day going? 😅

All it took was 5 💖s to convince me to write the blog 😄. Here you go: blog.danskingdom.com/Host-website...
