I know nothing about Visual Studio Code and very little about anything VS in fact, so I have no idea how much is VS's fault and how much is the user's, but seriously, how on Earth is it possible to have 3 months of work not backed up or source controlled in any way?

I once had a nasty file system corruption due to disconnecting the power cord that corrupted my (local) git repo and almost made me lose a day of work. Even with source control there are risks.

If there is anything positive to take away from this,it should be to learn to consider risk management.

If you write code even, say, once every week and haven't yet bothered to learn how to use source control, you owe it to your mental sanity to do it now.
