Ridiculous Coding Practices by companies you have worked for
bradford: We worked on a web application.  The web-code (asp) and business layer (vb) were under source control.  We used visual source-safe, which was ridiculous enough (though not my main gripe).My main gripe is that while those two parts of the project were under source control, the database definition was not.  So, while we could revert back to a previous version of the code, there was no way to revert back to the database schema that the code relied on.  We were able to autogenerate database creation scripts (which we would use for deployments) but management would never let us check those script in under source control (which would have solved a lot of problems).  The manager was a guy who liked to let wizards auto-generate code for him, and the idea of maintaining a sql-script that contained several thousand lines of code was just too much for his brain to handle.
