Brent Simmons on Git, plus blog anniversary
Brent Simmons is still looking for the perfect version control system:
"People talk about how wonderful are features like re-writing history — and I read that stuff and think, 'Wow, Git's really cool and powerful.' But then I know it could suck me in and take away time from real work. It's already more work — for me — than when using Subversion."
I haven't used Git much since Daniel and I discussed it on an early Core Intuition episode. Like Brent I just don't see a big win for single-person projects, although it's fascinating to watch how open source projects are using Github.
I like what Brent did a few months ago with his blog redesign, how both inessential.com and ranchero.com complement each other. He also wrote more about his publishing system, including a bit in passing about the tool I used to start my blog, Radio Userland.
I mention it because this blog is 7 years old today. Happy birthday to manton.org.
