Of course the reasonable answer gets downvoted. Stay strong! And remember that you're not a good developer unless you write everything in vim compiled for an OS that you wrote for yourself in C, backed up on a trusty old 2MB platter drive via a series of rsync scripts. I heard the concept of version control was originally conceived and canned by IBM in 1967, because it was found that version control would eventually become mainstream, and therefore bad.


Thanks for the kind words and the mention.

I'm used to the downvotes on here unfortunately, it's easy to tell which topics will do it, the group think here can be thick...


You're welcome.

My struggle on HN is to try to ignore the groupthink and keep the sarcasm out of my tone, but sometimes I just can't help myself.
