Back in 2016 (wow, almost a decade now…) I got a job with a group who used Word docs to email instructions on how to update your code with their changes. For example, “In file xyz.php, go to line 123 and replace with .”
One of my first tasks was getting that group set up with git. But I will never forget that was their best way to version control code… in 2016.
I requested a code snippet and instructions for work, I got an email, with a word document attached.
In the word document there was a screenshot of the code I needed.
Wow, massive red flag. How quickly did you quit?
