Craziest deadline you've ever had?
Week 1 Group Rant

Developer who was working on a project for 7 weeks was fired and to spite the company he deletes all his source code for the project. As the only other dev, I was placed with the wonderful task to complete an 8 week program in 8 days.

    The real question is, why doesn't your development manager require the team to use source control?

    Is the source backed up anywhere in the infrastructure? If deleted can you use forensics to find it. May be out there. Let us know.

    @mgard This project used an industrial PLC programming IDE called CODESYS which doesn't have a traditional Source Control like Visual Studios TFS. Had to start from scratch. :/

    there are decompilers for almost any language. so if you have the executable, it'll generate the source.
