            @thomasfuchs did they just take the original (https://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/) and run it through an image generator?

            @colincornaby @thomasfuchs I was thinking ai and with this it definitely makes sense. Plus this is likely copyright violation!

                    @thomasfuchs you know what this reminds me of? i collect random bootleg items and often times they use flavor text stolen from other things, and then retyped manually by people who don't speak english. so you end up with shit like this:

                          @thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io Bad OCR / image generation fail. It's clearly the git flow method. I think they were trying to morge this: https://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/

                                        @thomasfuchs true! So weird...

                                        It's funny to think that nvie is saying in his Note of Reflection that such a model should not be used anymore

                                          I have so many question right now.

                                          Did... anyone at Microsoft approve this chart? How come they didn't notice so many glaring errors that produced by AI?

                                          @NovemDecimal @thomasfuchs You may be lucky enough not to work in corporate tech. I say without exaggeration that nobody any longer does any work or thinking at work. 100% of documents, slide decks, charts, slack posts, code, code reviews, etc. are AI generated. In many cases this is mandatory.
