This is maybe a time for you to listen and learn about the experiences of others. Not, as you've done, call a stranger financially incompetent or insinuate they're lying.

i mostly use the git cli. i even like it; despite some ux problems! i've often been the one teaching git, and always make sure junior hires learn at least a little bit of git cli. but i do use a few extra interfaces. 1. complex staging

not a typo :( search for "bicycle shaped object". huffy is one of those brands sold in big box stores to folks with little intention of serious use. riding these is so unpleasant there's actually a negative feedback loop.

dotnet development targeting linux is painfully slow. on my macbook, with a relatively small asp core project, there is a 10-20s overhead to run any quantity of unit tests. i believe it will get better, but right now it's a bad choice.

i specifically value peer review in the form of daily pair programming. i am six months into my first experience with the practice, and i currently value it much more than distributed asynchronous peer review (eg github pr)

there is even a third option! besides ice cream with no eggs and ice cream with cooked eggs, there is ice cream with uncooked eggs. i often hear the latter two options as "custard" vs "straight method".

My team just chose golang instead of java or dotnet core for a new crud app. I'm not especially fond of go, but mean length of feedback loops are worth it (so far). We have a bunch of tests, and they all run in a few hundredths of a se
