git is fundamentally a sort of database. If people think about it as having a not-dissimilar level of complexity, use cases, and users to Postgres, the complexity shouldn't be too surprising.
Like anything used by a lot of people to solve real problems, it has warts and duct tape, but, honestly, git feels like the least troublesome part of my daily workflow.
- professoretc 3y agoYeah, but if every project, no matter how small, required you to spin up and maintain a full Postgres install, surely you'd start thinking, there has to be something easier than this... The problem with Git is the same kind of problem Excel has: everyone can (correctly) claim to only use 20% of its features, thus everyone can say "Git is too complex!". But the problem is that everyone uses a different 20% of Git; Git is the union of the solutions to lots of different problems.
