Why should I use version control if I'm working alone and already back up regularly?

Question

I\'m working on a project:

• Just me, no collaboration/source code sharing
• I\'m already backing my code up regularly, and I can use Dropbox to restore mista

Answer 1

Because most of the code you write is wrong. Mine certainly is and I am considered a damn good coder.

Its nice to be able to backtrack to a working version, also, you will find users ( and this may include yourself! ) flip flop between "I want it all" and "I just want a summary" its useful if you have the "I want it all" version safely stashed.
