Why filing? As method for backing up IP?

• jrockway 14y ago
  I think they like filing because it's immutable storage. An engineer can't write code to change the filed-away code as easily as they can the on-disk source code. I don't know much about SOX, but based on how I've seen it implemented at various places it seems to be a law that says "it is illegal to write computer programs, so don't let anyone do it! have a good day and have fun running a business!"

    Filing is great but file an archival DVD and save a lot of effort. Or five of them, really, just in case.

      Paper lasts longer than DVDs.
