Yeah, in high school I and another student did our essay peer reviews using annotated diffs once. It was so much easier than Google Docs, since we didn't have to leave our editors.
Wrapping version control with a non-tech-friendly porcelain could help a lot of people escape user domestication from vendor lock-in.
- copperx 5y agoI don't care how much porcelain you add. Using git effectively beyond add and commit requires undestanding quite a few concepts. Mass adoption of git in the consumer space ain't happening anytime soon.
- greyhair 5y agoIt cracks me up that this many years later, you put five people in a room to establish a git branch/merge/release strategy, and you get five very different opinions, and such strong opinions they are. Luckily, that responsibility is not in my wheelhouse, I just have to live with whatever decisions are made. So yeah, mass adoption in the consumer space, I don't see that happening. A revert or a rebase gone wrong and wails of "what happened to my file?"
