“I don't use version control -- I didn't like the feeling of having the code get committed into a black box thingy with no immediate upside”
Simon Willison notes that Dwarf Fortress, famously developed without version control for ~15 years, eventually adopted it around 2023 coinciding with its Steam release. This is a fun software engineering anecdote with no meaningful AI industry signal.
