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

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

            @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.

                  @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."

                      @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.

                                        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?
