reading online discussions about git is always really funny because 50% of the people are like "i don't understand git" and the other 50% say “no you just have to understand git is a directed acyclic graph where branches are pointers to commits" and nobody learns anything

(the discussions we've been having on here have been going MUCH better than this and I'm very grateful for that)

@b0rk I like how these answers are split between pragmatists and people that want to prove they're smarter than others in the discussion.

@heathborders honestly I 100% understand the “git is a directed acyclic graph” person, the only difference between me and them is that I know that saying that stuff is not helpful and just comes off as posturing so I keep my mouth shut.

It's been a big challenge for me to get out of that mindset.

@b0rk same. You are a great example for me and everyone else.
