today in git zine writing: we spent an hour talking about how to explain HEAD and came up with 30 words that i’m almost happy with as an introduction

(previously: a 2000 word blog post, many mastodon threads, more hours of discussion, several zine pages we’re probably going to rewrite, and several beta reader comments)

basically everything is going great and we’re going to get there

(please do not tell me how you think I should explain HEAD)

@b0rk oh isn’t that fun exercise to go from manymany words to like <50? It was the first assignment we got in grad school and it just makes you such a better writer. I still recommend it to people
I mentor.
