Software versioning is from the 70s. There's no claim you can make to revise history. What you worked on is not what everyone worked on. I worked on the sole production env for many companies, even into the late 00s (usually e-retailers).
- anonzzzies 4y agoI didn’t say there was no versioning; there was, internal and external. But for consumer or mass produced company software, we didn’t ship updates. Bespoke software (often some type of erp) is another story: that had updates. I was responding to the gp who claimed we were happy if things worked: we were but they did work as much as they do now. There is DOS software we wrote still running companies with very few updates as updates used to be incredibly painful. Physical, going to the company and updating their systems in the night painful.
