This makes no sense to me. I mean, it's already on GitHub, which is a version control system. So he's doing more work by committing each version as a separate file, rather than making modifications in place?
- quantaseed 4y agoHe probably bothered to learn "git add" "git commit -am" "git push" and nothing else. Or maybe his CS friends helped put it on github. Or maybe he's just to piss us off :)
- jfoutz 4y agosometimes, especially when I'm trying to figure out something new, I like keeping the old exploratory code so I can grep through it or easily compare different approaches. It's less cognitive load than dealing with tags or branches or versions. usually I end up with old/try1 old/try2 ... old/tryn once I've worked out the way I really want to go, then I nuke old.
