Marc"Something went wrong" as an error message should be a war crime
Everyone's obsession with mean FPS value across a whole benchmark is a pox on our industry. We need to start also talking about meaningful measures of the first and second derivatives
This is a hot take thread, don't @ me.
(Actually do @ me but only if your argument meets an International Silly Threshold of 7)
Game engines are just another extension of platform economics and we should be focusing on building up composable interoperable tools instead.
Almost every GUI for git is terrible, not because it's badly designed or hard to use, but because learning to use them is a waste of time when git on the command line is far better, ubiquitous and simple once you learn it
Your hatred for systemd really just stems from a life long failure to learn to truly love *yourself* first
OK maybe that one you can @ me, sorry
A note on this one: If you use a git GUI, that's totally fine, they're tools to help let you use git with a mouse, or to provide visual clarity to diffs/branches/merges/etc. That's all useful and rad.
All I'd say is we stop *teaching* people to use git by using one of these abstracted GUIs. It's not worth it. Remove the guff, teach it direct, *then* introduce the wrappers.
Shawn White@mdiluz I dunno, for many you’d need to teach them how to use a terminal in the first place.
@CapnRat totally valid point. I think though if someone isn't able to learn the terminal enough to use git, then maybe git isn't the tool you'd want them to be using... I've always seen the terminal as a more fundamental developer skill than even source control.
@CapnRat I know that for artists and such this breaks down, so the advice would be to teach using the closest GUI to the actual git terminology and behaviour as possible, no extra guff.
slembcke@mdiluz Snark aside, I have no love for the git UX, so I’m truly baffled that nearly every GUI I’ve seen is hands down worse.
Shoutout to gitx/gitg though for not sucking because they limit themselves to diffs and staging, and manage to do that well.
