The real issue is already going 3 months without source control.

I have heard things from another apprentice who just does not use version control at all and the only copies are on his laptop and on his desktop. He is also using node.js with only 1 class and doesn't know about OOP (not sure if you even use that in js no clue ๐Ÿ˜…) and has one big file with 20k lines of code I have absolutely no clue how he navigates through it

I know the type. Usually the kind of confident know-it-all who refuses to learn anything but delivers changes really quickly so management loves them. I had the misfortune to fix such a project after that 'rock-star' programmer left the company. Unfortunately the lack of professional standards in our industry allows people like that to continuously fail upwards. When I left the project they rehired them and let them design the v2 of the project we just fixed.

Lol. Wow.

And that is why I've been unable to work myself out of a job in all my long years as a developer.
