whoa. Uh, thats some stupid folk you got there. I hope you have found a new employer that is not the storage facility for lost village idiots. My sympathies. I used to work for a employer like that (*cough* US government *cough*).

This week is my last week at my current employer, so I thought I would share a few of my reasons for leaving. Obviously, I don't want to burn any bridges unnecessarily, so I'm going to be as diplomatic as possible here - I'll leave it up to you guys to add the commentary. ;) 1) I have been asked to remove all source code from Vault[^] and place it on the network, so that others can work on it.

People who say that they will refactor their code later to make it "good" don't understand refactoring, nor the art and craft of programming. -- Josh Smith -

I would at least ask for a written confirmation; you want to be certain that it will not be seens as an act of of your own decision. Stupid questions : Was it a management decision to put the code in Vault ? If yes, why remove it ? Are you the only one that knows that the code is in Vault ? Can't you teach the others on how to use Vault ?

It was my decision. There was nothing in place when I arrived and there will be nothing in place when I leave.
Maximilien wrote:

It is not well understood / trusted.

No, but I am the only one that makes use of it.

:laugh: It's sad that I've had to do the same thing. "David, can you export all the code from Subversion so this person can work on it? When they're done, they'll give it back to you so you can check it in if you want." My reaction was just :wtf:.

You may not work with that company again, but you may work with people that currently work there.

If it was SourceSafe (pre-2005) instead of SubVersion, perhaps they may have had a point when they said "so this person can work on it" :rolleyes:
