@dazfuller as I shared with @munin
I love the English #language! Ever-evolving with new verbs and terms. (Now, with #slopification!) In this instance, I’ll gladly employ “to morg” because, based purely on context, it seems to be defined as
morg / mɔrg /
verb
to cause a deadly or grossly negligent outcome upon mergeUse in a sentence
*After the changes were shipped, they published just before failover and morged the live, resulting in an outage for the on call.*@aleciabatson @munin if this isn’t standard terminology by middle of the year then I’ll be devastated

I don't know why Tim is working in the opposite direction, but I can see that he never once "morges" his code back into develop, let alone doing it "continvoucly"

@dazfuller no wonder they are barely able to make working software anymore.

@dazfuller There is a theory that all merges and commits are just a single Tim moving backwards and forward in the git history...

@dazfuller WHAT IS THAT VERTICAL ARROW? WHO IS TINM? NM ISN'T EVEN A DEFINED LIGATURE
(as far as I can tell)
(but it does exist maybe? maybe as a phonetic marker:
)
I am so confused
@moira Maybe Tinm is real, they’re going back to save us
-
@dazfuller this is embarrassing, I will bitch internally
@mapache just please don’t throw Tinm under the bus, it’ll disrupt the space time continuum

Its rendering of ‘m’ in ‘Tim’ reminded me of Terry Pratchett’s line
“Nanny Ogg knew how to start spelling 'banana’ but didn’t know how you stopped “

@jackeric @dazfuller so they also stole this essentially then?
@thibaultmol @jackeric stole "and improved with AI"

I guess we wait and see if any fixes get morged in

And this is the figure from the 2010 blog post that their machine plagiarized (badly).

@jedbrown @dazfuller and it is not even good nowadays. Was by 2010 standard.

@dazfuller it gets better the more you try to understand the graph
@dazfuller @JennyFluff the funniest thing to me is how simple the original is to understand

@dazfuller doesn’t the existence of Tim n suggests a range of integer Tims working on this?

@dallo
It was a nice diagram, but poor workflow even in 2010. The gitworkflows(7) man page was first written in 2008 and had clear rationale. I made this figure in that era to show the parallelism exposed by the workflow. As CI has become more robust, many projects moved away from having a 'next' as a throw-away integration branch, but it is a useful strategy especially if you want user feedback on experimental features before you commit to including them by merging to 'main' (formerly 'master').

@dazfuller@jedbrown @dazfuller In 2010, we were on svn, mercurial and, in my circle, TFS. Git with the nvie workflow was another level.

@dazfuller Looks like Microsoft changed the image in the last 15 min or so.
It was still there when I opened the link earlier. -
