I have set up a Subversion repository now but I still think it's a little too late. We have even bought an SSL certificate recently and I am hoping to secure all servers with it so that I can safely open up the repository for remote access by our outsource developers. General employee morale is at a new low though. I'm not the only one who is depressed. It's hard to get enthusiastic when your boss likes to frown whenever you tell him about a problem.

You should step back and look at the situation. Since there are so many things missing, it is actually a very good opportunity for you to show your boss what you can do. Setting up a source depot server might take lots of time, but once it is done, the ROI will be exponentially higher than the time/effort you invest in it. If you see something wrong with the process, you should give feedback to your boss on how he could improve. Believe me, I am sure he will thank you once he sees the positive impact it has on the project. If everything is perfect already, how in the world will you be able to shine among the others. If everything is perfect, you will just be another programmer on the team. Instead of being frustrated, make a change. Make it the way you want it to be. Take the opportunity and do something great with it. Don't lose hope. You have more than what it takes to succeed man. Just believe in yourself. Hey man, don’t be discouraged.
