I didn't ask what Git is or how to use, but asked about moving an existing project (of enterprise size) to git...

Sounds like the beginning of a wonderfully useful article - let us know when you post it!

It's not the Username you use in an "atsign-code", it's the MemberName.
Your's is the same, mine is the same - because that was UserName we signed up with. But not everybody did: some sign up with the default "Member nnnnnn" then decide they want to stay, or they decide they want a change: Has Anyone Seen Mike Hunt - Professional Profile[^] his MemberName is "Micheal-Martin" because that is what he signed up with (probably to try and get his account back - he holds the CP record for "most times banned in a 24 hour period")
So go to the home page for the member, and the "atsign code" is in the top left of the page.

Neither weird nor wonderful so I'll dump it here for your amusement.
One of our devs mentioned he had some really nasty requirements WPF on SQL server...
Open a dialog and gather filtered data from 4 tables and display in a pivoted grid.
Show YTD, projected to the end of year and 3 additional projection years.
Show reference values from one of the source tables
Accept input from the user for each projected period
Default the user input to the reference values
Do not allow the user to accept the default values - insure the user inputs fresh information. Zero is a valid input value.
The last 2 lines got rejected - emphatically!

Hint text (like a search box)?
or if you like fancy graphics hint bubbles?
or even better. have an animated puppy or paper clip slide down the screen and suggest what to type. Who wouldn't love that?
Not saying the show-default-but-force-user-to-retype idea is ever good, (monkey see ...)
just sayin' there are ways to do it.
(and today I'm in a "that's what you want? OK, that's what you'll get" mood.)

My usual mode is "Be careful what you wish for. You might get it.". It's one of the few things that can actually convince people to stop and think. Some people. Sometimes.

Oh it can be done alright, the dev had already mapped out and possibly even built it, I heard when some additional bloody silly requirement was proposed that was going to impact this.
How do you teach a junior dev to say no to a users request?

Should there not be a limited number of people who are responsible for making any requests on the customer's side and also a limited number of (senior) people who take those requests and react to them? Have the juniors sit on your lap while doing that, and let them give their opinions after the customer has hung up, but don't leave them alone with the problem.

Problem is the dev is not really a junior but has not the skill of telling the user she is an idjit.

Mycroft Holmes wrote: she is an idjit You know that that is useless in most cases. Instead, he should agree with her. And then nitpick away at everything that makes the idea so idiotic in the first place. Bonus points when he manages to wrap up the nitpicking in false praise as well. It must be her idea to leave everything as it is in the end. Extra bonus points if you can get her to try to talk you out of it.

Where is the junior dev's manager/lead engineer? It is this person's responsibility to handle this, not the junior dev.

In this case the dev is not junior just does not know how to say no! I on the other hand have no compunction telling the user the requirements are really silly. However I asked the dev to tell the user and made sure he did.

I'm just trying to picture the error message:
"Unable to process because you have used our carefully selected option defaults - please use some other values instead and we'll try again."
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Nope, can't see it how do you tell a user that the defaults we have supplied are not acceptable, without looking like a complete idiot.

Hopefully you're using a cool pivot grid control, say from DevExpress. While I use DevExpress exclusively for WinForm development, I am continually impressed with how flexible their grid controls are. I imagine their WPF controls are equally good.
That is, once I figure out where and how to actually set various options and overrides!
