Perhaps a bit of a stretch?
Does the fact that new devs don't know Git fully necessarily mean the quality of code will decrease? I mean, compared with the new devs knowing Git fully...
- CRConrad 4y ago> Does the fact that new devs don't know Git fully... That's not the problem. The problem is that they don't know what git IS; they think that GitHub is git.
- jrm4 4y agoI mean something broader than that here; I mean to say that "a generation of new devs who grow up in a world that sees git and Github as equivalent is perhaps likely to be something like a not-useful generation of mindless code drones doing little more than working for the proverbial 'man'" -- which, especially for CODING (in which hours doesn't mean accomplishment, unlike, say dentistry) simply isn't good for the world. There's some conflating of correlation and causation here, of course.
