Instead of:
"Oh, email this to doc management. Depends on who you get. If you get Nancy, she will double check that your rev C filename matches with your rev D filename in the changes section. Matteo does it differently though, sometimes you do need to include redlines for minor AND major changes, even if the major version gets rev'd. Oh, that doc doesn't have any minor changes at all. I don't really know why, but you better not include minor changes because that will be flagged for sure, only on this document though, for every other one you should have C->D in the footer. Oh that one, the template never got updated so you actually have to type it in manually. Yeah, no idea why it does that.
It would be great if you got the change review back by Wednesday because regulatory has a preliminary product summative scheduled Monday. There's a confluence page for which doc manager should be CC'd for each document to get the review back in time."

- theycallhermax 3y agoThere truly is a XKCD for everything...
- erik_seaberg 3y agoIf you deeply understand git, I recommend keeping that to yourself, unless you want to be named in git.txt. But being the guy who sort of understood svnmerge.py was much worse.
- Blackthorn 3y agoI wish people would do a little bit of yak shaving when they run into errors (usually some form of merge conflict when pulling) to learn how to fix them, roll back, etc. They would learn how to appreciate the power and flexibility of git then. I've helped people in my own open source project when they hit git roadblocks. They've never needed to save out their work and wipe their repo. There was always a solution within git and once they learned it, they really understood how version control worked much better.
- seba_dos1 3y agoI always assumed that xkcd strip was a parody (who didn't do that at least once after all!), but some people seem to consider it a literal advice...
- SOLAR_FIELDS 3y agoAnother example is stuff like this: git fetch origin main git reset —-hard origin/main Why does the first “origin main” not need a slash and the second does? I’m sure there’s a “perfectly reasonable” explanation for it but it screams UX inconsistency to me. In before people tell me that it makes perfect sense because that’s how Git works. Well duh, because Git was designed that way, not that the problem that it’s encapsulating demands it
