Here’s How Powerful Microsoft Really Is

[@Sergio_Loureiro]

You got a bunch of things wrong here: 1. Distributed code revision systems, with central and local repositories, existed way before Git. 2. What took Linus to do Git was a policy change of Bitkeeper, which revoked its free license for Linux development. 3. Even from Sourcesafe and CVS, the most primitive RCSes I touched, I always have been able to see the whole history, identify who made what changes. Turns out Git sometimes even makes more difficult than other systems to see who made what changes, when doing merges of feature branches. And BTW, Git by making feature branching cheap, makes people work that way. And for people who has seeing stuff about Continuous Delivery, the DORA reports said that feature branching actually lead to more bugs and slower development than trunk-based development.

[@bliz85]

Mercurial (another DVCS) was also created in the same month as Git. Eventually Git won and became the de facto VCS for programmers to use.

[@syedmuhammadsameer8299]

Weird question ask here, but can you explain the difference between trunk based development and branch based development? I know what branches are in the sense that they have all the code from the time they were created and then they can largely do their own shit until they are merged.

[@danielhoffmann7138]

To add, the main reason git took over the world was not because it was revolutionary, distributed version control existed before and linux was using another flavor of it before with Bitkeeper. What made it took over the world: 1. Git was free, when git started to become popular it was quite common for companies to have their own internal git servers and they were not that hard to set up 2. Git was fast, especially for branching and merging 3. Git was "easy" to use (compared to other systems) 4. Git was used by the Linux kernel and therefor had an "entry" into the market, Linux kernel devs also worked in other projects and companies and spread git like a virus. Being free to use means less bureaucracy to adopt it 5. Other distributed version control systems were very proprietary and enterprisy. Git had the unix mentality for CLI tools and therefor was easier to integrate with (to set up build pipelines) than most alternatives at the time. The best source control solutions before git were often specific to certain OSes or compilers (and paid) making mass adoption impossible

[@Timely7]

As "correct" as you may be I say that in quotes bc I don't have the time to do research to see if it is or not. assuming you're right in this case honestly sure being wrong for a channel like his is bad but like FACE REVEAL! All these years just a voice and now a voice to his face and he's pretty dang cute too. If I go back and do research to see if you were correct ill edit this if not then you know I was dang to lazy to. thanks for reading if you did!

[@kushalpsv]

@@Timely7 If you are willing to read wikipedia then you confirm the facts for yourself 😅, though ig most of the other points he said are true

[@NONO-hz4vo]

The thing with Microsoft though is they actually seem to understand that Google's original "Don't be evil" was a good PR move. Now it seems that Google is the evil big brother and Microsoft is the one who actually cares about the developers. Git is one example. VSCode is another. I still don't trust any corporation but for now MS is the one who is at least trying to win with devs.

[@aaroncampf]

I think its more that Microsoft views developers as the customers, not the product

[@unicodefox]

And also, Microsoft is happy to give free/cheap access to personal users, as it will encourage them to champion for MS products (like GitHub, VS, etc) at their workplaces @@aaroncampf

[@maazali9604]

Microsoft didn't make Git, Torvalds did. They purchased github.

[@ergo4216]

Microsoft bought github then released copilot a couple years later. I think we're just seeing the beginning of their profit plan.

[@HPkobold]

⁠@@rizkidotmefrom what I read and heard that was Google employees who didn’t want to work with the military, also how is working with the military evil ether way the U.S is still getting it’s contract’s fill by other companies

[@subanark]

FYI: Microsoft internal networks don't extend to github, they are treated as a separate company in almost every way. Even hiring is complexly separate and moving from one to the other is treated as moving to a different company (except for calculating years of service)

[@ubitubee]

So then why did they buy it?

[@subanark]

I'm not fully sure... possibly to make sure probably just to make sure no one else buys it. I think their hands off approach was to calm other users of GitHub@@ubitubee

[@blindedjourneyman]

[@ultor99]

Amazon is also following this path in AWS. Insane to think about!

[@LogicallyAnswered]

Very true

[@r3xmundi1]

Good video. But Linus created Git because of pressure to use an open source system, not out of any technical frustration from their old source control system, which Git is actually heavily based on. Also, I like background music in the video, I'm getting heavy Sense8 vibes :)

[@LogicallyAnswered]

Thanks for the correction man

[@黃于軒-j1o]

9:45 Note that Git and Piper at Google play entirely different roles. (Roughly speaking) Git is for open-source stuff, and Piper is for internal code. So there's never been a move "from Git to Piper".

[@undivided_unified]

Keep sharing these idea's Hari, its fantastic work helping so many to discover the underlying function and purpose of these companies. They have keep their true intentions in the shadows and its time for the truth to see the light. Many blessings to you and your team, yall deserve it!

[@namelessness42]

Too bad the video is mainly built of a factually wrong premise.

[@aaroncampf]

There where many version control tools like Git that where created before Git, that had staging areas and where very much like Git such as Mercurial. Git was a revolution because of its mass adoption that also allowed for an ecosystem of tools

[@yuwei2522]

Google did not move away from git to piper. They moved from SVN to git for open source projects (e.g. Chromium and Android) and they moved from perforce to piper for their closed source code base.

[@anubratsahoo447]

The editing and voice over are so on point,it feels lika a Netflix documentary

[@nomadshiba]

closings is true, all code should be open-source anyway, and copyright or patents shouldnt exist then i just use what ever to host the repo, its will already be public

[@ipodtouch470]

No it shouldn’t. The creator of the code should get to decide if it’s open source or not, it shouldn’t be forced on them.

[@sideone3581]

Talking about git - It is brilliant I always wonder if git is more complex than Fb like social media ( I believe not complex than google , microsoft , linux or amazon for obvious reasons ) Think of social media, how complex it can go You have to create algorithm and just let machine learn itself and even if breaks only one company will bear that but , in git if it breaks world breaks! managing extreme no. of branches , work by thousands of developer at same time it's impressive and As you said "2 weeks of focused work could have solved it but nobody cared" He was the man himself the legend who did it "THE LINUS" - maybe not everyone's cup of tea

[@SPeeSimon]

It's not that dramatic. There are several competitors (GitLab, BitBucket) and most companies host their own repository. Even if GitHub breaks, developers have a local copy that they could use to restore to origin. And comparing to other tech. My best reference would be with Blockchain/Bitcoin, but instead of coin references it is code changes (diffs).

[@MysticMylesZ]

0:10 moment I saw this thumbnail I was like: "Oh yeah I know." 😂

Linux kernel development did use something like git (version control) but because of the issues with it Linus made git.

[@IvanKravarscan]

It's not that well researched. To someone who was doing open source past 15 years, the story in the video is more made up than how it really happened. Points are overly dramatized, one major event dropped, and state of the tech at the time too simplified.

[@Fanaro]

6:18 There were (and still are) plenty of alternatives to Git actually. The thing is none of them were as simple, efficient or elegant as Git.

[@akin242002]

Agreed! Bitbucket and SourceForge get very little attention from developers. Nitch market at best. GitLab is the only legit contender, but only popular among experienced DevOps engineers.

[@lilhaxxor]

Factually wrong. Mercurial is simpler than git and is distributed like git (unlike CVS or SVN). The difference is that the Linux kernel uses git, therefore it is a safer investment to learn, because you know you will not run into weird bugs or software that doesn't scale. Also GitHub =/= git.

Microsofts has the Code quality. Google has ideas. Together they would rip anything

[@NameUserOf]

"Code quality" 🤣 Microsoft has money, Linux has ideas and code quality. Everything Microsoft uses was written by someone else. They run their servers on Linux, they use Git for version control, they steal ideas from KDE Plasma(including the new floating panel design in W11 before it came to Plasma 6), they copy ideas from Linux of 20+ y.o. such as tabs everywhere. Microsoft is always the last to adapt anything really.

Here's what copilot has to say about this: Chrome and Chromium are not the same thing. They are both web browsers developed by Google, but they have some differences. Here are some of them12: • Chrome is proprietary, while Chromium is open source. • Chrome has automatic updates, media codecs, and Google service integration, while Chromium does not. • Chrome tracks browsing data, while Chromium is more privacy oriented.
