Reminds me of a programmer I met about 7 years ago. He was in a team of 4, writing internal software tools for a company.
He said he was annoyed that he always had to manually join other peoples code. They would send the files they changed to him, and then he would search what changed, and add their changes to his own code.
I asked why they didn't use source version control like Subversion. He asked me what it was. He was so happy to hear that such tools exist, and was going to look into it further.
And I on my part, was perplexed that none of those 4 programmers knew about it.
If you don't regularly read shit to improve yourself, maybe it's time to find another job.
