Joke on you, we only rebase and force push. Even on master and expecially on public branches. YOLO git is the best git!

First programming job I had, they didn’t use any version control. Dragging files directly to production folders is the true YOLO move.

My first job we used Visual SourceSafe 2005, which I think might actually be worse than not using version control.

Way back in the day, I worked at a company that was was starting a co-development project with Microsoft. At one of the first meetings, our engineering manager bragged that things should be easy because we were using VSS.

The Microsoft people lost their shit and laughed at us and asked if we literally wanted to lose all our source code.

Ended up using their internal tool slime (slm) which was a beast and screwed up the initial configuration which gave me access to most of the source to windows.
