Ah work, without it we would all be sane.
Today I found myself confronted by a colleague who was of the opinion that we did not need any kind of source code control. My immediate response was one of incredulity and downright anger - "what sort of idiot would think to implement a computer system without source code control", etc.
Then I took a step back and looked at the actual situation. The person making this outrageous statement is not a programmer. He is not in IT, he is someone in the finance division of the company I'm working for. He doesn't know the difference source code control and a hole in the road - and he shouldn't have to. That is one of the things his company pays me to worry about.
What I should be able to do is explain to him why he can't get instantaneous bug fixes into production for his German subsidiary and why that is a good thing for his bottom line. So, I'm writing a story. I'll post a link when it is finished.
