lol, yes, sure. But why don't you sound horrified?

Version control at least is essential for something of any size with any number of people working on it. You must be able to "revert" a set of changes quickly and reliably if the application has any importance at all.

> You must

Don't want to be rude here, but version control is clearly not "required" in the strict sense. Plenty of software has been developed without it. Now I wouldn't want to work at a place without version control either, but it is as required for developing software as seat belts are required for driving a car. Less even, since at least for seat belts they are required by law.

People manually control versions all the time. Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V on a project folder to make a version. I have doubts that someone developed any nontrivial software without that approach.
