When I was in my early twenties I read The Visual Display of Quantitative Information from Tufte and agonized over making charts great for users.
These days, Microsoft releases graphs like this

@thomasfuchs if I were @nvie I'd partner up with an attorney specialised in copyright and sue the f**k out of them
@thomasfuchs I've always wondered how plumbuses were made
@thomasfuchs even gitflow is too complicated for most projects, and that doesn't even involve morging
@thomasfuchs When did they release this? And what's Tim up to? I guess he's past the top of the chart? I have enough trouble understanding these when they are well formatted, but um, what's Tim doing up, and arrows pointing down?
@thomasfuchs This looks like a derivative of the original, which I believe is here: https://jeffkreeftmeijer.com/git-flow/
@thomasfuchs I love continvoucal integration, i can just morg my featues without worries

@lmorchard only timn will tell if that works

@thomasfuchs did they just take the original (https://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/) and run it through an image generator?
@thomasfuchs the longer I look the worse it gets. “Tim” had me laughing but then I looked at where they put release branches and how they ordered the tags… I am so confused.
@thomasfuchs What letter is that? 😜

@bplein If you're lost, you can look and you will find me

I have so many question right now.
Did... anyone at Microsoft approve this chart? How come they didn't notice so many glaring errors that produced by AI?

@NovemDecimal the technical term for this is “not giving a shit”
@thomasfuchs first time I committed the feedback form over there. Like really, wtf‽ Hopefully it will be read by an actual person not another stupid micro$lop AI agent.
@thomasfuchs literally yesterday I found that domain (learn.microsoft.com) and out of curiosity just clicked: in the first second I got a vídeo with an AI generated character, and closed that tab. Enshittification at its best.
@thomasfuchs Automating contemptuous degradation!
@thomasfuchs so much of this "article" is factually incorrect. Literally bottom of the barrel slop.
"A commit is a change to one or more files on a branch."

@paulshryock the weird things is that GitHub already has guides for this https://github.com/git-guides/git-commit
@thomasfuchs what is Tim doing on the left side?
@thomasfuchs I still have that book, probably bought it at the same time as you.
As to the graph, I bet the severe bug was a side effect of that branching.
