Legend for a reason 馃挭

#linux #git

DID YOU KNOW?

Without Linux, we wouldn鈥檛 have Git. When the Linux team lost free access to their management tool, BitKeeper, in 2005, Linus Torvalds built his own replacement in just weeks. That tool now powers almost every major coding platform. Linux didn鈥檛 just give us an operating system; it built the foundation for how the world collaborates on code.

@itsfoss聽this is what humans should do with capitalism-- realize we don't want to keep paying the cost, so create something better and sharing it with the world

@itsfoss The legend is now vibe coding, helping normalize an unsustainable business model, environmental destruction, and reliance on Big Tech.

Legends used to stand for more.

@itsfoss
I know Torvalds is at the origin of git.
But can we start to spotlight Junio Hamano who has been actually developing git for 20 years ?

@itsfoss it's weird when people tell this story they don't focus on what an absolutely disastrous decision this was for Bitkeeper.

@itsfoss I hate git. It has a terrible user interface. After years of using it, I still do not understand how it works. I never could. get rebase to work.

For that matter, I do not like Linux either. Crashes every time I did an upgrade. No problems using freebsd. For my use case, jails are much better than containers.
