    @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.

                  @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.

                                  @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.

                                        @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?
