that sounds like reason to try to evolve instead kf saying "yeah well, we are done"
with some luck alternative tools come up with ideas, which become part of the default tool, maybe the default will change over time.
- oofbey 5y agoFundamentally I don't disagree. Except that I see so much wasted effort in our industry trying to evolve just for the sake of enjoying trying new things, which I find fundamentally super inefficient. I know that's how evolution works and eventually gets to a better place. I'm just relishing the fact that for once we agree on something. On the complexity front I have a couple perspectives. First, the fundamental concepts you need to contribute to a code base aren't that hard. Which I think is why it survives and thrives. But the CLI tools are NOT very friendly. So secondly, you might think we just need better front-ends. And maybe there are by now? But I've hated every alternative front-end to git I've ever used, but maybe that's just me. I also don't use an IDE, so I'm obviously a bit of a dinosaur by nature.

Fundamentally: If people annoy it, it is efficient in bringing joy, which in my view life should be about. But secondly if I take the same view on efficiency: I see so much time wasted with git, so many times a repository is broken due to a bad merge or somebody doing something wrong. This can't be peak tooling.
