You are not alone... on my first internship, we were transferring code by USB keys, I just can't believe I used to work this way at some point.

  At least you didn't store the only copy on a floppy in your desk drawer next to your lunch.

    Ahem. That brings back some shameful memories.

    We walked a 3.5" disc down to a 'build box' in the basement. Happy days.

      Scarily, I have single, hand-written source files that would barely fit onto a 3.5" disk.

        Since that was downvoted for some reason, here's the source file I was thinking about. It's 762K, so about half of a 1.44 MB 3.5" disk. The total for the whole directory (itself a fraction of libvirt) is 9.2 MB. https://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=blob;f=src/conf/domain_conf.c;h=67415fa3d590dd072820b61ec34b65c1c0ccb96d;hb=HEAD https://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=blob;f=src/conf/dom...

          Suppose you change one line, how long does it take to recompile that file?
          • rwmj 11y ago
            That single file takes 0.56 seconds to compile on my i7 laptop. However deleting and recompiling that file triggers a relink of the library, and then a relink of all the utilities using the library, and that takes a bit longer.

          Technically, that file wouldn't fit on the 3.5" disks I used in college (400K Mac and 720K PC).
