"Ahh. You don't understand. We only use the holes.”
Well actually, that’s pretty accurate. The holes are the significant part.
I had some corporate guys come down to talk about doing interfacility collaboration on
Engineering projects. They’d identified this networked manufacturing configuration
system and though we could use it to manage our 750,000 line code base in our products.
They seemed to thing a file was just a part. I pointed out we were already using a
distributed software configuration management system (Clearcase Multisite) and if they
wanted to expand that to some more sites, I’d be glad to help.
