@thomasfuchs Does the existence of pictures like this indicate how most people never try to read and understand charts?
When this exists, they will never learn that it's worth making the effort

@thomasfuchs They changed the image on the site, but it’s still available here: https://web.archive.org/web/20260216165612/https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/introduction-to-github/3-components-of-github-flow
I find this absolutely insulting. The fact that Microsoft deems it appropriate to publish this utter slop tells me volumes about what they think of their readers.
It’s also heartbreaking. I learned so much from learn.microsoft.com way back when.

@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:

@nygl @thomasfuchs you need to do it going backwards in Tinm

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