If I ever hop jobs, two first questions are about version control and code reviews. Maybe I'll get to asking about quiet work spaces once they pass that test.

I know the feels, I had to create my own program to do version control. It's nowhere near as robust as something made by someone who makes version control, but it allows for checking out to my local drive and then checking out to the network drive, then relocating the one on the network drive to the production drive(s)

QFMFT.
No version control = big red danger sign with flashing lights and klaxons and "This is going to suck massively in ways you can't even comprehend yet and don't want to" printed in eighteen-foot high letters illuminated by the eternally-burning souls of the poor developers trapped there. Also, the way past the sign is guarded by a large-sized angel with a flaming sword and a disapproving look, saying "are you sure about this? I mean, you can do it if you want, but God says don't."

we do use version controls but I am talking about making changes before check ins

[jon.kiparsky]

If you can't check in without deploying, you're doing it wrong. That's the whole point of version control: you can save stages of development, not just completed tasks.
Whoever's in charge of your build process, have them shot and bring in someone who's not made of stupid.

[depricated]

We use a gated check-in(where it attempts to build with the new code before allowing check-in - I clarify because TFS is the only version control I've used, don't know if it uses a different term for that in other systems), and going from no code review no version control to code review and gated check in is glorious. Just two of many, many reasons I love my job. I love working with competent people.

That's also a huge one-up for git. It's trivial in git to commit to and manage local branches before pushing to a central repository, so you can juggle and test local changes without much effort.

Figuring out if the MAA Transfer from PD to Face Book is a myth.

Got a phone interview with a recruiter from a big company in Austin for an Android Developer position. They contacted from resume out on the net somewhere. I layed out my salary requirements and experience in my email reply and he still wants to talk to me. Maybe this will actually go somewhere and not waste my time like my last job offer for 10k less than I was currently making.
