  • I believe I understand the perspectives, but I’m unconvinced that there isn’t asymmetry. It’s one person’s job.

    Like, I’ll whine all day about my job. But I’m under no illusions that I didn’t sign up for it, and I’m extremely cognizant that while it’s a bummer that I have to do my job, I understand that the people I support are having a worse day than I am. I’m not doing anyone a favour, I’m doing my job.



  • See I think this is where in general people in it misunderstand the impact.

    Like, if it’s -40 and your furnace breaks, who is having the worse day, you or the furnace repair man?

    The repair man might be grumbling because they have to do their job, but you’re grumbling because you’re freezing. You both might be grumbling, but by way of impact there is a massive asymmetry in impact.















  • I agree it’s not a blockchain, (although it has chain properties) but it is kinda decentralized. By convention projects almost exclusively have a single remote, and by convention that single remote is treated as an ultimate source-of-truth… But you can absolutely have the same repo with multiple remotes defined, and one could establish different schemes to determine which branches on which remotes represent what in terms of “truth”.
