@mre@mastodon.social Very cool, thank you. Incidentally I'm just reading the Git book again, for the 12th time or so 😄 From personal experience I'd add: don't hang your head when a copy&paste or vibe coder finishes their story in time with everything working, while you're still reading docs. Sooner rather than later that thing they built will require maintenance...

@mnf@mastodon.social oh, that's a good one! Fun story from University: the task was to build a list datastructure in C++ that could be converted into builtin datastructures like vectors. Took me two weeks and the other students two days. Turns out I misread the assignment and implemented an STL-compatible container, which is a whole different ballgame. Instructur was flabbergasted when they looked at the result. Learned so much about C++ internals that it was totally worth it. (Forgot all of it, of course.)
