Why would they do that? Talk about generating mistrust.
It may not be malice. Incompetence.
They are going to “accidentally” remove a fix?
By not understanding how version control works. I’ve worked at places that had a surprising number of developers who would just merge things in ways that drop code from other developers.
Can you give an example how that would happen?
Force push to the master branch or release branch, for one
It’s pretty straightforward. Merge conflicts? No such thing! Just make my version the next version.
Also that’s likely a team that doesn’t use a branching workflow, has poor review on merges, and/or using Git like it’s SVN.
How optimistic. At my last workplace I got us to finally stop using zip files for version control. This was at a fortune 500 company.
The utility of software is so great that even terrible processes are still functional to some degree.
A times B times C equals X. If X is more than the cost of a failure or security breach, we don’t fix the software.
Are there a lot of these kinds of problems?
You wouldn’t believe.
Which Fortune 500 company do you work for?
A major one.
