Been looking for a part time game dev job to pass the time during summer break, got a reply from a guy.

This part came up some time in the middle of our conversation:

Me: So, do you have a version control system in place?

Him: Excuse me, a what?

Me: A Version control system, like Git.

Him: Ow, what's that?

Me: It is a way to host projects in a more productive way for two or more people. It allows us to share our work more easily and work on the same file without overwriting and losing data.

Him: Ow, like Dropbox?

He was developing the game solo thus far and no idea such thing existed.

    @theScientist ow, yeah, absolutely, but he hasn't gotten back on me since that, and by the looks of it I will really need a job this summer.

    I used Dropbox for years for my source control. Has rollback, available on all my machines, backup if my machine dies...

    Version control? You mean code1, code2, code_final, code_final2?

    What was the employer's discipline? Gamedev isn't full of programmers and producers. If he was an artist his ignorance is perfectly ok.
