No development team, no need for version control.

I meta love DF for it's primitive development practices too.

Guy decides to make a game with a block of stone and a chisel, development community calls him crazy and says games can't be made that way, but he keeps chiseling away.

This is like stone carving with a chisel, but striking the back of the chisel with your hand instead of using a hammer. A hammer adds a bit of complexity, but you will save yourself a significant amount of pain.

Until you hit your hand with the hammer, then you can't use either the hammer or your hand any more (pedantic, I know, but meant in good spirit)
