> yeah, but all of the VCSs before git could've claimed the same thing. if that's not a fad, what is? Git being the de facto standard in the space is coming up on twenty years. That's about as far from a "fad" as you can get. > i'm glad git is the soup du jourre today The problem isn't so much with the "soup du jour", but that the whole concept of "soup" seems foreign to the people the tweet is talking about. (But yes, given the twenty years mentioned above, "the concept of soup" in practice is pretty much equal to "the soup of the last few decades". Claiming to be a software developer nowadays while being unfamiliar with git is like claiming you were "computer literate" in the nineties but not being able to use Windows.)
