Lots of science research people code without version control. The most common practice I have seen is to put a single stream version number in the file name (and they seem to think it's a good idea, and if they are careful enough, it will work well).

And bitbucket.
It was the bitbucket debacle, jeremy allison reverse engineering the protocol to archive the source independently and their reaction that led Linus to code git. -
As far as I know, you just need your head to code. Now if you want to share/keep/organize your code, there's plenty of VCS out there.
But hell yeah GIT rocks.🖒 -

Sorry it was 12 years ago, forgot the details :p
