I wonder how well those things manage software lifecycle? For an
example, at a previous job a customer wanted us to recreate some simple
visual basic app which controlled some kind of a tester thing. Basically
it was a motorized thing that would go up and down and the program just
had a couple of settings as to how many times or how long the the thing
should go up and down.

But, whoever wrote the little app had no idea about things like version
control or storing the source somewhere safe for the future. So when he
left the company or maybe his laptop was replaced, the source was lost
for good.

Oh well, maybe the customer learned something from all that.
