Remember To Label Code in SourceSafe And Do It Often

I’ve relived one of my worst nightmares today: I forgot to label a code tree before making drastic changes to it.

When things didn’t go well and it was time to roll back the project, it was stressful. See, SourceSafe does an Ok job rolling back individual files, but not entire projects. There’s an ingenious hack, but your code needs a decent label.

This brings me to my point: label your code often. You’re going to need it.
