    The worst part is that this is an educational content, so students are learning incorrect information produced by AI. 😬

        @thomasfuchs This looks like a derivative of the original, which I believe is here: https://jeffkreeftmeijer.com/git-flow/

              @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.

                    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?

                        @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?

                                  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 first time I committed the feedback form over there. Like really, wtf‽ Hopefully it will be read by an actual person not another stupid micro$lop AI agent.
