At my first developer job 25 years ago, any time we made a change in the code we had to add a comment at the end of each modified line with our initials and the date, because we had no version control.

That‘s how I still do it today, 'cause: no version control. 🙈 I wished I could use Git. But im my customer project there isn’t any…
there's absolutely no reason you can't use git
Yes, if your customers insist on storing the source files on IBM i in "QSYS.LIB" and you are not allowed to develop locally in you favorite IDE. The old "AS/400 developers" fight tooth and nail to store the source code in the in the database instead of "Integrated File System", so it's always a pain. 🤮 Fortunately there is IBM BOB which makes transfer really easy.
This interface is laughably terrible. For one, everything should be tabs: you should drag files from one tab to another completely blind. For another, I can see the scrollbars which is just bad. Further, there should be a giant ad at the header/footer which shills bitcoin. Finally, the password field shouldn't be obscured but synced to our online Safe™ for easy retrieval at just 12.99 a month.
We've sure come a long way since those primitive days...
I genuinely wonder why MS hasn't added FTP to Windows Explorer in all these years. It would've fixed so many issues
explorer does have ftp support. not sure which windows version added it, but it's been a feature for a while.
It came with either Windows 2000 or XP.
Dude in 2022 I was working at a company that had the same password on all PCs because when your on holiday the others could access the code they deployed over ftp and did live debugging and sometimes development by checking the IP and execute the "debug" code when the IP matched the static IP of the company. They kicked me out a few weeks before my probation time was up. Looking back best thing I got out of there and found a better place.
I personally am familiar with 2 organisations with millions of dollars in annual revenue that deploy critical line of business applications like this in 2024
Ftp deployments are supported in azure web apps too, and widely used.
I just came by an org recently that serves intermediate ca certs that way ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Oof…
Tomcat 7.x is considered "fairly new" in my current company. Log4j didn't hit us because the libraries we used were ~~too old~~ stable.
Still use it for my OG Xbox
What's this fancy shit? I need to mstsc into the Windows desktop and ctrl+c & ctrl+v a zip for IIS web deploy
