Maybe? But this is an argument you can make about most technology adoption (silly recent example: USB-C adoption obviously buffetted by Apple showing up and saying "it's all this now" and having a bunch of people willing to swap everything out for it)
- ChrisMarshallNY 2mo agoAgreed. The thing about an SCM, though, is that it needs to be rock-solid reliable and trustworthy. No "YOLO, Bro!" or "Move Fast and Break Things." Git is that. I believe that this is exactly because of who wrote it. Torvalds has plenty of detractors (and they aren't necessarily wrong), but he is one hell of a C programmer. I'd trust stuff he wrote, over about 95% of what modern devs, do, these days.
- pjmlp 2mo agoThe same Apple that was forced by EU regulators to actually adopt it across their devices?
- ChrisMarshallNY 2mo agoYup. That doesn’t change the effect, though. That kind of thing has happened before. When HP adopted IEE-488, it became the standard test equipment interface for a couple of decades. USBC has arrived.
- pjmlp 2mo agoYes it does, otherwise people in Europe would still not use USB C on their Apple gear for the most part.
