Wow. I was totally unaware that Linus initially programmed git. I'd argue that it's had nearly as much impact as Linux itself. How many lines of code have been cataloged with it over time? Pretty good track record for a stupid content tracker, ha

It’s an engineering superpower to ship something that works, but isn’t anywhere nearly as amazing as you know it can be.

Twenty years since Linus Torvalds committed "Initial revision of "git", the information manager from hell"!
