- sciboy 16y agoWhat would you consider uber-hardcore?
- JoachimSchipper 16y agoWith the ubiquity of DVCSes and Github etc, I don't think there is an uber-hardcore level in source control. "Has used git etc in a team setting" is the closest I can find.
- JulianMorrison 16y agoImplementing git.
- JoachimSchipper 16y agoThat's well above the "O(log n)" level from the rest of the list. After all, "algorithms O(log n)" is not "you are Knuth".
- arethuza 16y agoBeing able to give a list of weaknesses in something like git, a sensible discussions of the pro/cons of the approach taken by git, a comparison with the behaviors of other systems (with their pros and cons) and some idea for potentially improving it.
- j_baker 16y agoBeing proficient with git. That's on an entirely different level than just knowing how to use it.
- hasenj 16y agogit is not mainstream. it's mainstream on HN and for people who read blogs and care about their craft. This makes it a good indicator of a person's level. Not that you have to use git per se, but having used one of git/hg/bzr or at least hearing of them and trying them out would also do the trick.
