Clown on JS all you like, but if git was perfect within a week of creation, why does it receive updates? ๐Ÿค”

Those were all written prior to release as a way to ensure git could grow and evolve with its userbase.

Sorry, the sarcasm didn't come through. My joke was that no software is perfect because software is constantly evolving as people's needs and desires change.

Because it isn't and wasn't perfect. I think linus had instilled that within the world 2 most important pieces of software. Its just incredible that he invented both.

The post isn't claiming perfection. It's claiming production ready. Very different things.

The confusion there is the claim that good/perfect means done. It means ready for use and extensible.

Note: I'm not agreeing/disagreeing with the claim. Just clarifying the point

Git wasn't production ready in a week though.
