I won't code without it. I'd even go so far to say having your CI environment up is a must too.</p> I’ve championed source control on largish teams for over 20 years now and it was just automatic to setup subversion for my new solo iPhone project.

I have ended up going back to code a couple years later and adopting an “inefficient” algorithm that I had originally optimized out because the underlying systems had become so much more efficient that it was actually faster than my customized hand-tweaked algorithm
