Wow. I hope you had more reason to fire him than just annoying you about the version numbers.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I would have been funnier if:
"So I've had to take the whiteboard down. Someone wiped it clean each night - not good at all ... Blamed Tim and let him go."
"Update - Just got a call from the janitorial service saying that cleaning the whiteboard each night was taking an extra half hour. The past few days are on the house, but going forward, we will be billed accordingly."

But that's not what happened. I think you think this is all made up but its happening, right now. Luckily, I've given the teams the day off for Thanksukkah so the new site won't be up for a few days.

Is that the sequel to this[^] fine cinematic epic?

Indeed it is. They are planning a sequal of the sequal but it won't be ready for about 79000 years...

Whoa whoa whoa. Jumping the gun aren't we? The correct next step is to replace the board with a shared spreadsheet. Then decide you need an intranet to replace it when it corrupts.

I can't tell if these posts are tongue in cheek or not. Seems someone's got a bit of a boss god complex going on.
I can pretty much guarantee that if you refer to your staff as 'bloody developers' they refer to you as worse.

It's very much tongue firmly in cheek.

SVN is to Developers | TFS is to Build/Deployment Engineers!
Do you Agree?
Please share your thoughts...
|
|

|

I do not agree. Subversion is not appropriate for code development at all.
TFS is somewhat more appropriate.
|
|
|
|
|
SVN is appropriate for development. At least, it is so invisible and does its job so I can concentrate on development.

I am using branches. I know it's not the state of art of branching as in git (where I hear you need a dedicated guy to do merges), but I also prefer to merge rarely and not spend my life in console. I know what's mercurial and git (not much), but svn is - for me, as part of both a small team and large teams - the right tool for the job.

Branches aren't exactly the easiest to deal with in SVN, but after you do it a few times it's not all that bad.
|
|
|
|
|
Having used version control systems that did branching right and witnessing all the problems with SVN branching, to me it's bad enough to never use SVN if I have a say.

I've been branching with SVN for several years now with no major problems, unlike TFS that the few times I used branching, caused major headaches and code break outs.
