I was chatting with a developer yesterday who had a really funny experience on a contract. As they started on a project, he asked "What version control system do you use? CVS? SourceSafe? ...". The answer was "Jane". "Huh????", he thought. "I have never heard of a software package called Jane". It turned out that Jane was the secretary at the company, and she had post it notes. Lots of post it notes. If you wanted to edit a file you would walk over to her desk and ask for the post it that represents that file. You would then control that post it until you were done. "What about if more than one person need to edit the file?" - You work it out together "What about merging?" - Manual "Ok. But what if Jane goes on vacation?"
