git to me is a work of art. There is a lot of complexity underneath but the end user sees something that is simple, fast and easy to use. It scales depending on user needs and It's easy to reason about. This is a feat of engineering, to take something complex and make it easy for anyone to undestand and use. It shows real expertise and deep understanding of the area. In many ways it's a shining example against the 'culture of complexity' that we increasingly find ourselves in. Here rather than simplying the objective is to be to make thing as complex as possible, usually in pursuit of extremely niche use cases or because either the expertise or the interest to simplify is not there. If git was designed in this culture it would be fragile, full of buzz words, poorly documented and prone to failure, and something only a few self appointed experts could reason about and use properly.
