| Recently, at my work, a policy has been put into place that all files being checked in need to have a source control header and have spaces instead of tabs. Since we have thousands of files which are out of compliance, I put together a small Ruby script to fix them. I found the script rather useful, so I decided to share it with others. Well, not everyone liked my script as well as me.

Since I developed this software outside of work, but I intend to use it at work, I've included my team's standard header. Feel free to change this to reflect your organization. |

| I received an email stating my script had been deleted this morning. | |
| <pre>
| |
| ... #8 change 53775 delete on 2006/08/17 by tordoffy@tordoffy.unix (kxtext)
| |
| | |
| Removed detab, as it is not in an approved language.

| To add insult to injury, I was worked until 12:30 AM last night, and returned to work at 7:30 AM this morning. I was working late to fix a problem with a server in the London office. Did the London office thank me for fixing their server last night? No, they deleted my script while I was sleeping.

| One might argue that it's normal for an organization to have approved languages. That, I can understand. However, this was a tool which I designed to save me time, and no one else is required to use it or maintain it. It wouldn't even be so bad if we only had a few 'approved' languages. If, I had written my script using one of these languages, I would have been fine:
