Why HN links it
Linked for posts on clean code and programming debates, including the idea that context matters in performance arguments and a critique of software evangelism around solid and clean code.

I've recently wrote a post about it - how we're kinda locked with git and how other solutions have it hard to get adoption. git was good, but github cemented git's position. So unless GitHub allows other solutions, then we're ki…

HN discussionI do believe that it is possible, at least at the API (cli) level. While git is good under the hood, then it has not really user-friendly interface. Also git heavily benefits from GitHub's success, which locks us with git :( I wrote about it here https://trolololo.xyz/github - GitHub is really good, but there's a small problem with that
