Same here. The other stories do seem real though. A friend of mine once worked at a software company as recently as 2014 (it went bankrupt meanwhile) where the team of around 10 developers would work without any versioning system at all! They used folders with dates instead, and every once in a while someone would go over all the folders with the respective developer and merge the code manually. My friend tried to introduce SVN, but the developers didn't want to invest time into learning it. Anyway, given the stories I know first-hand, I totally believe it's a true story!
