Real examples here? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Friend who is not a software person sent me this tweet, which amused me as it did them. They asked if "runk" was real, which I assume not.

But what are some good examples of real ones like this? xz became famous for the hack of course, so i then read a bit about how important this compression algorithm is/was.

Git is not the only version control software out there, and not the first one either.

Facebook for example is famous for not using git. Because their own modified copy of mercurial fits their needs better.

Microsoft didn't use git until relatively recently either. They had to make some big contributions to make it work for their system.

Man, I remember ancient gmod addons released using (iirc) turtle svn so they could auto update. Was a wild time.

turtle svn

that's a name I've not heard in a long, long time.

That’s a name I’ve never heard before. I have heard of Tortoise SVN though.

Meh, I knew what wizardbeard meant.
