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 must admit, I am taking deep joy in your experience of the git deep dive. Mainly because it validates my deep dive experience. ;-)

And hey, maybe--MAYBE--your zine will drive me to stop using RCS and CVS.

@mwl the other day i was asking people about preferred text editors and 2 people told me entirely seriously that they prefer ed to vim because it's what they're used to

@b0rk @mwl Somebody should write a book about how to master ed. ;-)
