    @thomasfuchs This looks like a derivative of the original, which I believe is here: https://jeffkreeftmeijer.com/git-flow/

      @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 even gitflow is too complicated for most projects, and that doesn't even involve morging

                      I think it's a haiku and they wanted to stretch the sillable count so they made up a word. It's a mood thing, a-la jabberwocky.

                            @thomasfuchs first time I committed the feedback form over there. Like really, wtf‽ Hopefully it will be read by an actual person not another stupid micro$lop AI agent.

                                        Great, now because of you lot they deleted timn and the world will never learn. The irony of changing the docs about versioning flows without documenting the change is delicious. Almost as delicious as the fact that archive.org exists.
