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.

What am I even looking at?

What the heck is this?

@thomasfuchs this is what happens when you¹ feed git-flow and github's own docs through a plagiarism machine.

@thomasfuchs

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 the technical term for this is “not giving a shit”

[paulshryock@phpc.social]

@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."

@thomasfuchs I thought some developer named Timmmm was going back in time.

[zachery_delong@mastodon.social]

@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.

[parsingphase@m.phase.org]

@thomasfuchs Automating contemptuous degradation!

[colincornaby@mastodon.social]

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

[alan@mindly.social]

@thomasfuchs But really, who doesn't continvoucly morg every once in a while?

[rndanger@infosec.exchange]

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

[europlus@social.europlus.zone]
