    @thomasfuchs

    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?

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

          @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.

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

                  Tim seems to be going backwards. I'm going to call Tim a Reverse Engineer

                        @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.

                                  @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.

                                          Well, first you need two bottles of industrial lube, a goose, and a bag of pretzels.
