Every morning in the group hug nonsense I like to say "ohh, I checked some code in before I left last night"

Keeps my PM happy.

Good luck with your next term of servitude NF

IANAP, but when I used to write code on my Atari or Amiga, I would right a program, called, eg, "Fred".

I'd spend perhaps hours on it, and add many more lines of code.

The next day, I'd edit Fred, add more code, and then run it.

If I found a bug, I'd correct it.

Then save Fred over itself, so Fred was always up to date. Backup to floppy.

So what's all this malarkey about compiling, checking out, checking in, etc ?

There was a contractor at my last gig who on his last day, rather than do a proper update to merge did a checkout, copied his versions of the source over the top of that, and committed it all. Which led to lots of fun the following Monday when nothing would compile, and when we made it compile, we were left puzzled by all the recently fixed bugs that had crept back in.

So do that. Always a laugh.

Benchward? You mean your contract's finished? Never mind, Mr Fitz, you can spend your time giving me lots of good free advice on technical.

I refused to check my stuff in until I get back in January, do not want to be getting a call from some other team over the next 2 weeks asking what the hell I put in.

Time to make sure everything's checked in before clearing my desk and commencing the journey benchwards
