When I discover a company prefers Windows desktops, Microsoft 365, and Sharepoint, it's often a red flag for me. I've worked with guys who didn't know how to use git, so they copy all their code into Sharepoint. Then there are others who didn't know how to merge branches, so they copy from one folder to another using the windows desktop. It's even worse when the people doing this are supposedly "senior." In a Linux or Mac environment, I never encounter these sorts of WTFs
- ElFitz 3y agoJust like this company that deployed by mounting the production server on "the special machine" through SMB and dragged and dropped the files across. You couldn’t drag and drop the whole folder, else you’d overwrite the numerous configuration files that were all over the place. I really don’t miss it.
- icedchai 3y agoYep. I ran into the “don’t overwrite these files” issue on a branch at a new company. It took months to get a sane branching/merging process in place. The “lead” loved copying crap with his windows desktop, did not even script his half baked processes. You should’ve seen what the actual code looked like.
