Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
At my first developer job 25 years ago, any time we made a change in the code we had to add a comment at the end of each modified line with our initials and the date, because we had no version control.
Oh, they are experienced seniors! I saw people zipping the package with: "project-new", "project-new(1)", "copy of project-new(1)"
/sarc 🤡

That's a thing I never understood. Everyone knows this problem but until now ther isn't a single Filesystem for linux that support version control native.
@CoggyMcFee
That‘s how I still do it today, 'cause: no version control. 🙈 I wished I could use Git. But im my customer project there isn’t any…
there's absolutely no reason you can't use git
Yes, if your customers insist on storing the source files on IBM i in "QSYS.LIB" and you are not allowed to develop locally in you favorite IDE. The old "AS/400 developers" fight tooth and nail to store the source code in the in the database instead of "Integrated File System", so it's always a pain. 🤮 Fortunately there is IBM BOB which makes transfer really easy.
