Am I the only person that doesn’t want to understand the inner workings of my VCS in lurid detail? I don’t have to know as much about any other developer tool in order to use it effectively.
- outworlder 6y ago> I don’t have to know as much about any other developer tool in order to use it effectively. You don't? How do you debug problems?
- mberning 6y agoI just use the debugger and it mostly works how I expect. I don’t have to go and study the data structures and other intricacies of the debugger itself to puzzle out why it works the way it does. Git is terrible in that way, as evidenced by the thousands of blog posts of people trying to describe the inner workings of it and how it will “make more sense” once you understand it as well.
- bombcar 6y agoThink about ZFS - ZFS works perfectly fine for me and I don't have the foggiest idea how it works beyond "copy on write" magic.
- detaro 6y agoDo you feel like you need to know this to use git? What did the blog post change about your use of git?
