That is insane. At $dayjob we teach SVN to non-devs (graphic designers and marketing types) in 30 minutes, and never have to train them again. They even do merges.
Git is truly a cool tool under the hood, but the UX is a massive drain on productivity.
We should be trying to get more non-technical people to use VCS in lieu of Sharepoint, not having engineers spend weeks to “grok Git”
- majkinetor 8y agoTotally this. I use SVN exclusively when non-IT people are involved, such as designers, site editors etc. Random person and even those without high school diploma can grok SVN in less then an hour, particularly as you don't need to `git pull` all the time which is HUGE saver as most people in the team work on independent repository paths and thus git pulls are meaningless. Git stage is also more of an obstacle then a benefit in that context. Everybody using computers should know SVN, I consider it as basic as managing files. Git is great tool, but IMO targeted at developers.
