I had a job in the late 90's at a newly formed subsidiary of a multi-billion dollar corporation. The product was cobbled together from various third party software they licensed or acquired outright, and we were customizing. You would think they'd have set up version control to at least keep track of what came from where. Nope. Here I was, a 22 year old kid, teaching people about CVS. SVN wasn't quite out yet.
- layer8 5y agoSame for me in the early 2000’s. :)
- kevin_thibedeau 5y agoI had a coworker hired in 2015 (with previous work experience) who had never used any revision control.
- icedchai 5y agoIf you've only worked in very small, mom-and-pop style companies, you might run into this. I knew small companies (under 30) that ran without version control for over a decade. These were PHP shops that did most of their development on a dedicated server, with people editing files remotely over FTP (or SFTP if you were lucky.)
