        @extempore2 @goofbone there is no such thing as an idea *so obviously bad* that some programmer won't argue that it's actually good.

        @mbessey Hmm. I've never heard a programmer advocate not using version control (of *some* kind). Am I too young? @extempore2 @goofbone

        @evangoer @mbessey @goofbone You are too young. When I started it was largely unheard of. You can't get here from there without "what for?"

        @extempore2 @evangoer @mbessey there are certainly plenty of companies out there which have no vcs

        @evangoer @goofbone @mbessey At my first company not only had we no VCS we had no backups. We lost two weeks work to a misplaced rm -rf.

        @evangoer @goofbone @mbessey In case you ever wonder whether progress is being made.

        @extempore2 Of course Twitter didn't exist back then, so those two weeks lost were probably a wash. @goofbone @mbessey

      @extempore2 Annotation are not perfect but at least, there can be checked by the compiler. No fail because you added a space :-/

      @extempore2 Agreed. I remember going all "WTF" when I first saw Maven plugins behavior controlled by comments...

      @extempore2 so what so you propose? Having directives in code or directive files? Heresy...
