I hate git. It has a terrible user interface. After years of using it, I still do not understand how it works. I never could. get rebase to work.

For that matter, I do not like Linux either. Crashes every time I did an upgrade. No problems using freebsd. For my use case, jails are much better than containers.

it's weird when people tell this story they don't focus on what an absolutely disastrous decision this was for Bitkeeper.

I know Torvalds is at the origin of git.
But can we start to spotlight Junio Hamano who has been actually developing git for 20 years ?

The legend is now vibe coding, helping normalize an unsustainable business model, environmental destruction, and reliance on Big Tech.

Legends used to stand for more.

this is what humans should do with capitalism-- realize we don't want to keep paying the cost, so create something better and sharing it with the world

I was introduced to SVN and used it for over five years before I ever encountered GIT. That gave me an advantage in that I understood most of what GIT was doing (except rebase) even though the flow was a little different. I also prefer to use a UI for interacting with GIT over doing it from the command line.
