The neat thing about high density storage is that for the first time in human history you could probably fit every book ever written up your butt -
I always forgive Git a lot of its bullshit on account of how it's one of those programs originally created in the 70s that are just half a century of cruft layered on top of outdated UI conventions that they were still making up as they went.@andrewt one problem with git is that its designers and early users had only just barely escaped the vile clutches of other, worse version control systems and all of the early users only wanted the smallest possible filesystem mutation primitives in order to automate their workflows.
The git command line interface works great in CI/CD and scripting to make efficient sequences of operations. If that's not the way you use the tool, then uh yes very much the set of operations is hard to use and remember. Otherwise you have to internally copy the understanding of the first two power users in order to use it well.
I wish there was a discussion of "the trauma of using X made me design Y to be like this and that" and how it might be difficult to use Y if you didn't have those experiences with X.
