alt Hacker NewsEver try editing like, a Google Doc, while multiple people are in it? It's not fun. I can't imagine how that would go when people could be changing functions I'm referencing, etc. Isn't this was version control is for?

Uh yeah, it works amazingly well. I've done entire uni projects with Google Docs and it went great, and was much more convenient than whatever we did before using Google Docs
Don't tell me what's fun or not! Some people might not like the experience, but why yuck someone's yum? Editing a Google doc at the same time as someone else when you're both in the flow and you know what you're doing and you know the person or persons really well, is sublime. Like a shared game of Factorio.
Works well if you're communicating while you're making changes in code.
At my work 20 people are changing the same wiki-page when we do heavy regression tests. Works like a charm (not everyone is writing at the same place in the document since we are testing different things and writing results at different sections).
