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 Vim is another thing: People either love it (and advertise is quite aggressively sometimes) or hate it (and get a heart attack every time, they accidentally automatically enter vim and don't know how to exit it)

@shaedrich @b0rk @mwl i must be weird then. I use vim a lot. I like emacs. I don't have a favourite editor or ide. I use lots of them, whatever fits

@kaffiene @shaedrich @b0rk

Many people do. Whatever's on hand, we use it.

But that's not fun to argue about.

( Always keeping in mind that ed(1) IS the standard editor, of course.  )

@mwl @kaffiene @shaedrich @b0rk Whatever text editor still functions in single user mode to help you rescue a hosed box in an emergency is the default text editor.
