    @thomasfuchs @NovemDecimal They only look at the page count. I've put recipes for making a chocolate cake in the middle of a large, dumb, mandated document and nobody ever noticed.

      @bplein @thomasfuchs It’s the letter “൬org”, of course.

          @thomasfuchs so much of this "article" is factually incorrect. Literally bottom of the barrel slop.

          "A commit is a change to one or more files on a branch."

          @paulshryock the weird things is that GitHub already has guides for this https://github.com/git-guides/git-commit

              @jal @thomasfuchs I think Tim's job is to revert changes, because the tagged version gets smaller as Tim goes forward.

              And really, with so many AI-generated commits getting continvoucly morged, every company is going to need a full time reverter pretty soon.

                The worst part is that this is an educational content, so students are learning incorrect information produced by AI. 😬

                          @thomasfuchs the longer I look the worse it gets. “Tim” had me laughing but then I looked at where they put release branches and how they ordered the tags… I am so confused.

                          @zachery_delong @thomasfuchs “They” seems to be doing a lot of work in that sentence.

                          🤔 I suppose this could be a case of malicious compliance, though, by people forced to use a chatbot for everything – a cry for help.

                              @thomasfuchs literally yesterday I found that domain (learn.microsoft.com) and out of curiosity just clicked: in the first second I got a vídeo with an AI generated character, and closed that tab. Enshittification at its best.

                                I was just going to post that version - it's stuck in my memory. I can't tell why they even tried to change it? What led to this crazy fuckup? Who ok-ed it?

                                    @thomasfuchs When did they release this? And what's Tim up to? I guess he's past the top of the chart? I have enough trouble understanding these when they are well formatted, but um, what's Tim doing up, and arrows pointing down?

                                          @thomasfuchs yeah.... we think it's like fashion, people who see it may appreciate it in passing but it's only really worth the effort if it also makes us happy to do
