Back in 2016 (wow, almost a decade now…) I got a job with a group who used Word docs to email instructions on how to update your code with their changes. For example, “In file xyz.php, go to line 123 and replace with .”

One of my first tasks was getting that group set up with git. But I will never forget that was their best way to version control code… in 2016.

Man that's wild. There were devs sending these instructions?

To be honest, I sincerely doubt they were devs, maybe support staff... I mean, come on, I'm just an engineer and even I can think of a better way to do that, even if I absolutely must not use any CVS.
