To be fair a couple of people at my school were so far ahead of the pack that they could do this kind of things. One of them was a really cool dude who lifted his teammates, the other a pretentious asshole who once rewrote my friends' parts of a project because it was not up to his standards, they were pissed lol.

Yes, you are right, which is why I didnt say that, should have been more explicit and mention that it was possible. Esp if it was a first year project and someone had a decade of programming exp already (but then the lack of versioning us weird, but also not impossible, as coding vs project management are different skills).
