Key points
- That fact has been lodged in my head, because given its inherent complexity I have trouble imagining a codebase that would benefit from version control more.
- I went looking and I'm sad to report that the days without version control appear to have ended.
- March 2013: "I don't use version control -- I didn't like the feeling of having the code get committed into a black box thingy with no immediate upside"
- That March 2023 quote comes from an interview about the release on Steam which made them millionaires.
