And dysfunctional organizations. I worked as a contractor at one place where we simply used the shared file server as a git remote.

Reasoning was if the file server was down, it would come back up quickly because it affects everyone. I didn't understand this reasoning until I got emails from the database team saying the database servers stopped working and every development team now needs to change their connection string from machinename-abc.corp to machinename-bcd.corp

How in the world someone could write an email like that is beyond me. Ok machines crash all the time but why can't they reuse the same name for the new machine?
