The whole point of software engineering is to write software that makes our lives better. Why would "deal with it" be the right answer to the horrific mess that is the Git UI?
- Xelynega 4y agoIt's not really "deal with it" it's "learn the tool to start using it effectively". If someone is having trouble learning how to use a lathe, that doesn't mean lathes are a "horrific mess" and need to be reworked, it means that person needs to learn more about the tool they're using and how to use it.
- badrequest 4y agoIf using the tool effectively is burdensome enough, then it's the same as "dealing with it".
- scubbo 4y agoWell, yes, but "enough" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. Learning git is a large and steep learning curve, but the benefits from doing so outweigh the costs.
- olyjohn 4y agoSure but if you can make a tool that saves you 5 minutes of time on a lathe every time you use it, you may be a fool for not doing it. That's the whole point of building tools.
- nuancebydefault 4y agoIn industry they use CNC millers, I guess many workers found lathes too unhandy and slow.
