They deserve each other
What an eloquent yet brutal statement, I love it!
Help please
With?
Over my head
💀
Not overnight. The merge took 10 days, otherwise it wouldn't be perfect.
Yes, and the all new TwinkedIn is already experiencing a surge in active users! Most of them are coming from Grindr for some reason, but it still counts!
I love being in a twink!
Clown on JS all you like, but if git was perfect within a week of creation, why does it receive updates? 🤔
Those were all written prior to release as a way to ensure git could grow and evolve with its userbase.
Sorry, the sarcasm didn't come through. My joke was that no software is perfect because software is constantly evolving as people's needs and desires change.

Because it isn't and wasn't perfect. I think linus had instilled that within the world 2 most important pieces of software. Its just incredible that he invented both.
I think dude responded to me instead of you, lol
The post isn't claiming perfection. It's claiming production ready. Very different things.
The confusion there is the claim that good/perfect means done. It means ready for use and extensible.
Note: I'm not agreeing/disagreeing with the claim. Just clarifying the point
Only git wasn’t done in 10 days. It was very quickly able to track its own development, but it still took Linus half a year of thinking to be able to make git.
(No, sorry, I can’t find the interview that would validate that claim.)
Not to mention years of using BitKeeper and knowing exactly what he wanted.
And it would still benefit for taking a week to formally define its interface before Linus started coding.
Also, basic is famous for being already fully specified and mostly stolen from other people's work.
I was going to say this. Linus took some months to think about the design of Git before even writing it.
Like you're fucking supposed to.
Altair Basic was released in 1978 for hardware that sold around 25,000 units..
I'm sure glad computing remained exactly equally complex since then, with exactly the same number of users, and same minimal diversity of use cases. (This is sarcasm.)
Everything should still take 10 days. Anyone who tells me it takes longer probably believes all that crap about the Internet being more than a passing fad. (Still sarcasm.)
There are several shell scripts that I've written in even less than ten days!
This guy vibes.
It walks, sounds, smells and looks like a bullshit. I wonder what could it be?
what do you have against js?
Most people dislike because it is full of weird quirks. Me personally think its okay (more modern js helps a lot)
