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

              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 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:

                                      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.

                                          When I was in my early twenties I read The Visual Display of Quantitative Information from Tufte and agonized over making charts great for users.

                                          These days, Microsoft releases graphs like this

                                          @thomasfuchs Reading this graph went like this in my mind :

                                          - I don't see what the fuss is about, this looks like a pretty classic git flow
                                          [...]
                                          - Wait, wat ?
                                          [...]
                                          - Oh no
                                          [...]
                                          - Oh no
                                          [...]
                                          - Oh no

                                          And the more you look at it, the worse it gets
