Neat, now to learn German, find this book and find who he was supposedly quoting 😂

I love that the reference includes “see Stalin” without any further context. We’ve come full circle 😶

I’ve always attributed that first quote to Machiavelli, but I can’t any source for it either. Am I crazy?

“Make no mistakes” gives big “do not hallucinate” energy.

Don’t! You’re gonna jinx it!

I’ve always taken issue with this “master” v. “main” argument.

People think it’s “master” as in “master/slave”, but forked branches are not “slaves”.

Instead, it’s “master” as in “master/proxy”. The forked branches are altered copies of an original. We have remastered movies, music and games, and I’ve never seen anyone complain about the word in this context. Why should version control systems be any different?

Cruelty Squad and Psycho Patrol R come to mind.
