    @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?
