Just joined a new job. Got into a team of 10+ devs working on one code base. Its spread across many cities and few devs sit together.

They've been versioning their code by mailing each other .zip files of the entire 400MB code base at the end of each day.

Me: Can we have git or svn please?
Manager: SVN? Don't worry about that now, we'll get SVN when the project is finished.

Managed to get an SVN repo running after 2 weeks. FML.

    I know that pain. Our IT group manages backend deployments (DB procedures, APIs) while I handle frontend and server deployments.

    I use git, Jenkins, and some simple bash scripts. Everyone is notified of builds and deployments to all environments through Slack.

    They use Google Drive, zip files, and FTP uploads. You maybe get an email for a major update. It's beyond frustrating.

    Manager: we're gonna be OK. STORAGE IS CHEAP

    @delose I wish. It was on company mail servers. Capped out at about 1GB, so they made do by deleting code off every few fucking days.

    @hashris that's such a pain! I would at least tell everyone to delete build files (if there are any) before zipping and sending

    @delose 1 fuckin MB of actual code. 399MB worth of node modules. That part hurt more than anything else.
