I'm a developer, and I've been writing code since 1979. I've never been a project manager (I usually hire one) and prefer to write code myself. I had been using Microsoft Visual Source Safe (VSS) for some time, but VSS began driving me crazy. At one point, we were a team of eight using VSS all day, every day, to help us convert between Microsoft Visual FoxPro and VB.NET. VSS was corrupting its "database" weekly-and I truly object to calling files in a directory structure a database-and 1 was spending too much time rebuilding it. I had to spend hours every week fighting with VSS, and often had to rebuild it from scratch.
