    Then it's best not to argue with them and let them deal with it once it happens. Just make sure that they can't deny that this was the way they wanted to have it when they come crying.

    I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

    Last project I saw them use abstract classes, and could not understand why they did not use interfaces since they did not do anything that could not be done with an interface. They even had abstract properties that were simple properties created in the derived class.

      TFS does, but only if you access it with Git. We're using that combination at work, and it does the job nicely.

          You may start here[^]. TFS has come a long way, and it's really become a great piece of software - Not only for source control, but also for managing work.

              Since it isn't a distributed versioning system it can't. Then again, I'm not convinced it supports global branching either.

                Use [git-tfs](https://github.com/git-tfs/git-tfs) and make a local branch in the resulting git repo? Yes, it says it's not actively maintained, but that's onl;y since six months ago... Is TFS like SVN in the way it manages branches? If that's the case, I can kind of understand not wanting too many branches - I always had trouble and pain when managing SVN branches (a long, long time ago...thankfully!)

                Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

                  Yeah, see, the problem is, if they're not smart enough to get it in the first place, "I told you so" won't make them get it when the excrement impacts the air movement device. Righteousness is never a catalyst for changing minds. :)

                    Very true. I would only mention it when they try to blame it on me, but then without giving in.

                            You Trump Haters just don't get it. He is not a politician, he is a problem solver. It is the CNN fan boys that are the stupid ones, and I mean REALLY stupid. Trump got elected for two reasons. First, because the Socialist/Democrats ran the only person in America, that would lose to ANYONE the Republicans would have run, down to and including Charles Manson. Second, because The people that voted for Trump are tried of the "politicians", a bunch of self- centered, sociopaths, that are only out to line their own pockets.:mad::mad::mad: The nice thing about our country, is that every 4 years we get to vote for a president. Did you vote for H.C., last election? Did you vote at all? If not, you don't have a right to complain.

                                Please tell me you said "I agree, that's why I want to create ONE branch. Also, are you suggesting I work on these WITHOUT them being in source control? Or that I should be making suspicious changes to code in the main branch?" I said it before, I met a guy with 5yrs of SVN experience that NEVER did a branch or a merge. I explained to him that he has 3 days of SVN experience, repeated many times over 5 years :-)

                                  What problem has he solved. He certainly is great at going bankrupt and screwing people, and looks like he will make an already bad situation for the US even worse. He is also doing a great job of alienating people, and countries. Worst president ever by a large margin.

                                      It seems that a lot of the white majority (they will soon only be a plurality) want to got back to the 1950's. These are the same people that thought that this country was not ready for a black president. Go back a hundred and fifty years and these are the same people that were discriminated against (Irish, Germans, etc.) because they were not proper Englishmen or did not come over on the Mayflower. Things change but things stay the same.

                                        Last project I saw them use abstract classes, and could not understand why they did not use interfaces since they did not do anything that could not be done with an interface. They even had abstract properties that were simple properties created in the derived class.

                                        "They" is usually "one" dimwit with too much authority that has exceeded their level of incompetence. The others are made to follow.

                                          The bigger the business, the more they can afford stupid.
