My company has 3 developers. Me, another guy, and a VP dev. I really want to implement source control, especially since our code seems to randomly change on it’s own. We tend to develop on the server, live, etc.
I’m fine with having a copy of our database on my machine to work against, if necessary, as is the other guy. The VP dev doesn’t want it. How can I work with him to change his mind, or make it work for him?
You have to make him think it’s his idea.
Point out that with source control you not only have a built-in backup of everything, but you also have the previous versions – let him realize how much of a good thing that is.
