My professional degradation.
Dec. 30th, 2010 10:49 amIn October 1999 I had a first job interview. The last question was: what version control tool do you use? I told I use CVS. (There was not a big choice of free version control systems back then.) It was a tough question at the time, about 2 years passed since I've often started interviewing students who knew what is a version control and why it is needed.
I lied, I only read CVS manual and so was able to answer other interview questions about CVS. In fact I was using folders with dates and changes.txt files.
Some time passed, I've used CVS, then Clearcase, then was the first in a team to switch to SVN when it became usable and was always keen to be first to play with new things and then to adopt them for a team: wiki, bugzilla.
Time passed and I have not noticed when everyone switched to GIT. I was still using SVN. But since about September I use only folders with dates and changes.txt files. It just fits my current needs. Code I write is within 500 LoC and has 3-5 versions. In the end it is thrown away or given to customer who will throw it away and write their own using mine as PoC. I normally don't have to work on this code in a team.
However all my colleagues who work on similar stuff use SVN and GIT any way, so I am the laziest I believe.
