"we sometimes check things into sourcesafe but usually keep it on jims computer" That was 3-4 years ago. From a company that was in no way a 'startup'. That tells me they have no release system at all other than the late 80s crowd around a 'blessed' computer and hope it builds right. "have you considered git, svn, perforce anything like that?" "we don't have time for that" That tells me they do not have time to invest in having a good reliable thing for themselves. It tells me that as a developer I will not have any time to fix recurring issues. It is a question you can learn a lot from. Because it is something the developers do day to day. These are not new concepts. These are table stakes at this point. We were doing this sort of thing in the mid 90s. If you are not doing them. You are missing out on some cool debugging/regression/qa tools.
