- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

I once read the first 3 chapters of the Git book and my coworkers think I'm some kind of Git wizard
One of the first things I did at my first full time job (while my very under prepared boss was looking for "junior-dev-friendly" tasks for me to work) was go to git-scm.com and just read through all the man pages I could. I spent a few days doing that, then my boss asked me to create a PowerPoint and present what I learned to the team. It was instantly apparent that I was the only one who knew anything beyond
git commit -aon the team at that point, and I was promptly appointed the "title" of "source control SME". I've been heading up version control best practices for every team I've been on since (which is scary because the git cli has changed quite a bit since I read all those man pages but I haven't had a chance to go back and refresh my knowledge).Do you have a blog or something? Do you write about your experiences regarding this?
Lol no, the most writing I do is comments on Lemmy
These days I just ask llm to fork me a branch and whatever else I need :p
Literally same π
