I forgot about “porcelain,” been so many years I don’t even remember what it refers to. I do remember that it always reminded me that git is a toilet for all the shit code I had to deal with, so maybe that’s why people stopped talking about it?

Also i feel like “merge conflict” could have been the center square, I just love walking newbies through that. “What did you do to generate this many?” “I was just cherry-picking all my commits and then tried to rebase master onto them?”

git gud

I feel like “subversion was so much worse” should be the free space

Julie Julia Evans! I love her stuff. I haven’t read her blog in a bit, this is now a good excuse.

I have to use SVN at work and I miss git so much.
