And fewer shooting digital, and/or having less familiarity with post-processing? The first DSLRs as we know them were barely 10 years old at the time, and MILCs nascent.

Hehehehe I think we file this one under "Lessons Learned"... I did something even more stupid. I had just shot a couple hundred photos, and was in the process of dumping them to my computer. So, I created the directory that I wanted to put them in, and everything looked good. So I went ahead and reformatted the card. The only problem was... I had neglected to COPY THE PHOTOS TO THE COMPUTER!!! Talk about feeling dumb!!! Fortunately, I am not a professional photographer, so it was not as if I'd just lost someone's only dauhgter's wedding photos, but it STILL hurt!!

If you haven't put any data on the card you could recover the pictures with a file recovery program. They are available on-line and some are free.

Even in 2011 there were valid reasons to shoot jpg instead of raw, depending on the shot.
(1) phone shots (they didn't have heic back then so they were jpg) could be sent immediately after shooting.
(2) On a DSLR, there's no need to shoot raw if you're taking a shot of a featureless surface to look for dust on your sensor.

Other than that, shooting raw allows for more artistic images and insurance against non-optimum exposure or preprocessing.

I suspect that he has put other files on the card in the 10.4 years since that post.
