My first like real programming job, in 2019, version control was “download the project from the share drive, update the code, then add your new code back to the share with todays date in the folder name”.
Everyone, except 1 dude liked SVN or mercurial, wanted the boss to just get us on git. It became the general standard for a reason. None of us liked the version control system we had, but HDD space was cheap so the boss wasn’t that concerned.
God that was so fucking stupid. I hated it so much since I usually buy one of those 48 rolls packages to last me awhile. Well, I happened to be down to a few rolls when the panic happened, so I looked like one of those assholes.
God I hate people. Why is that the thing everyone panic buys?
