Today I found out that MS "solutions" can also go in the other direction by not telling you what happened.
Scenario:
- You're forced to use TFS.
- Your credientials are managed by a Windows domain controller.
- The same credentials are used to authentify with TFS.
- Your password expires.
Welcome to a non-trivial amount of time trying to figure out what happened. This is the single scenario I've encountered so far where interrupting my workflow would have been sensible, and it seemingly is also the only one where Windows doesn't do it.
I miss Git so much ._.
- rhencke 9y agoI've been there. I feel your pain. In hopes of helping to restore some of your sanity, I've found the following helps immensely: https://github.com/git-tfs/git-tfs https://github.com/git-tfs/git-tfs
- btschaegg 9y agoThanks for the tip. Unfortunately, there still are workplaces that are absolutely paranoid when it comes to software you can use, so I won't be able to try it. But hey, there's always a chance someday we'll get to change the VCS we're using, so hope dies last :)
