At my first developer job 25 years ago, any time we made a change in the code we had to add a comment at the end of each modified line with our initials and the date, because we had no version control.
When I graduated from university in 2020, my classmates still zipped the entire project and dated it with “final”, “final(2)”, and “final-forrealnow”. This is extra sad, because they did this in a class, where we were taught version control. Out of the 50-something people in my lab for that class, maybe like 3 people outside of me didn’t express hatred for it

That‘s how I still do it today, 'cause: no version control. 🙈 I wished I could use Git. But im my customer project there isn’t any…
