> 1. For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software.
That said, right now the industry is going through some turmoil. We're coming off the high of low interest rates, and it's turning into a mighty hangover. Plus, we're trying to automate ourselves away with AI, and (working in) tech just isn't fun with Scrum/Agile/Meetings/Sprints/Bluh.
- dang 3y agoThat comment has been unfairly misinterpreted and did not deserve to turn into a meme of dismissal.

- WinLychee 3y agoThat's helpful context, thanks. Unfortunately I cannot edit my original comment, but good to know.
