Already with a single standard in a single project things have a tendency to start breaking down as soon as there’s more than one developer and disagreement arises about what the text in the standard specification actually means.

Compared to a debit card, it adds an additional layer between my money and the rest of the world. If my card is wrongly charged, by malice or honest accident, I then have some weeks to sort that out before the money is actually going to be pulled from my bank account.

You know, CVS wasn’t really that bad, just primitive and outdated.

Luckily I’m young enough that I never had to use RCS.

The first version control system I ever used was CVS and it was first released in 1986 so it was already old and well established when I first came to use it.

I must say that nothing afterwards has ever given me the feeling of This Changes Everything quite the way the fall of the Berlin Wall did.
