Some of us have trod this path before, and recognize righteous anger when we see it.

Is code typically written for outsiders?

Being wrong with malicious intent and being wrong because you have an interstate-number IQ are indistinguishable; the outcome is still terrible. I don't care who's playing 4D chess, the pieces are still all over the floor and I have to clean them up.

Now it's JSON strings, so it's okay.

Ah yes, like calling collect and telling them your name is "mompickmeupfromthemoviesnowbye".

People balk at the idea of licensure, but the bar is so low that all you have to do is ask "what is an array?", and you'll filter out vast swaths of people like this.

GitHub won because it was free.

git isn't foisted on anyone, although I will acknowledge that if you're working anywhere remotely web-y, you'll be required to use it.

But the vast majority of people I personally see who complain about git simply don't know how to use it, and apparently don't care to learn. They say it's hard, and then they joke about never learning more than three git commands. Can't we do better? Is that where the bar is?

I'm consistently baffled by the people who don't understand how git works who then complain that it's hard. Yes, of course something you don't know is hard. Version control is a hard problem; I'm not sure why so many expect it to be unicorns and rainbows.
