This is neither incompetence nor surprising. Maybe you’ve only worked at large companies who have had time to optimize things for years (and even then, I see grotesque software decisions at my large company quite often). Try accepting that software is often written poorly optimized on the first pass, for good reason, and learn to celebrate the wins without needing to shame someone.

Also - if you are using things like gitlab runners, you might be in the same AZ and even large repos clones are fast.

- stjohnswarts 6y agoAre you just an angry ex Pinterest employee? There is something to learn here and a reminder to pay more attention even when you're knee deep in other tasks. Besides the obvious feature/limitation of git that the author points out.
