Source Control? What a hassle...

Yesterday I heard on of the funniest things ever. I have a feeling that this will become a regular thing. It's just the way the guy is. He can't help it. He's funny when being serious. So Buddy decides to go to the guy in charge of the development team and archtecture (we'll call him Slim) and states "Having the code in VSS is such a hassle. When someone has a file checked out I can't work on it." Now let me kick back in my chair and think about this logic. Okay, I've thought about it and I can not find a good argument for that logic. Even saying that you could save the time of not installing VSS doesn't cut it. So Buddy goes on to say "We could just come to an agreement and the part of the code that I'm working on doesn't need to be in source control then." Hmmmmmmmmm....let's put some of the project in source control, but not all of it. In the end the unsaid reason for not using source control was becuase it was too much work for the developer to check in and check out. Ahhhhhhhh.......glad I'm not the one who has to deal with this. I just get to sit in my chair trying not to laugh aloud.
