I'm curious about your opinion on Git. It's actually a tool I'm excited to teach to non-developer people who deal with text documents and the need to keep a history, multiple versions etc. I'm aware that now these features are integrated in some common offices apps so there's less of a need for Git there.

However what's wrong about Git for code? How would you cover the same features differently? When I say "Git" I refer to all the ecosystem that's based on Git, including GUIs for those who don't like the command line

its like using the army to watch over kids crossing the road to school Many other source control systems with far simpler systems

this whole branch and pr into merge process didn't exist 10 years ago like it does now. It started from open source and low trust - but nobody stopped to ask what problem it solves.

If somebody needs to check your code as part of a formal process - rather than some arbitrary invitation you issue in special cases - you shouldn't of been hired with the job of writing code.

Source code control is important, but Git is not the only source code control system.
