So what practices do you follow?

1> Code in an ancient language on an unsupported database.
2> Check out the wrong version of code, so that we always miss re-entering incremental bug fixes.
3> Write all code in a single event. Modular code is a waste of time.
4> Use an IDE that does not integrate with the source control tool.
5> Do not delete previously commented code. This increases the number of lines of code in any given module.
6> Resist any inclination to upgrade.
