To me it seems like something has fundamentally changed in the world in the past decade. If you are an information worker and want to have credibility, you need to put things on git. Otherwise you lose credibility. It's sort of like the difference between hearsay and the written word. Anything not backed by git nowadays I consider as hearsay.
Yeah, it was rushed writing on my part. Basically there's an OOM difference in the credibility between things published with a backing git repo and those where just the artifacts are published.
