I don’t understand where the author got the idea that git was production ready in 10 days… Let’s look at git history:
- Official development started on 03.04.2005.
- Git could self host on 07.04.2005.
- Git achieved Torvald’s performance goals on 29.04.2005.
- On 16.06.2005 git was used to release the Linux kernel for the first time. That can be considered the first beta release, which achieved its goals, but wasn’t production ready yet.
- Production ready v1.0 was released on 21.12.2005. That’s waaaaaaaay longer than 10 days.
No good software is released in 10 days.
Of course it’s nonsense and bullshit, but managers who don’t understand software development (and don’t want to, they literally don’t give a shit) parrot this bullshit line and others over and over to push for faster development.
I was lucky enough to be left to my decides for a while and I’ve build an extremely dependable phoundation on which I’m now building various products and the company now is starting to churn out great dependable products because of it. The old guard still hasn’t been able to move forward in 2 years because they’re only busy with puttibg out fires everywhere all day every day.
It’s bait
did LinkedIn merge with Twitter overnight?
They deserve each other
What an eloquent yet brutal statement, I love it!
Help please
With?
Over my head
Not overnight. The merge took 10 days, otherwise it wouldn’t be perfect.
Clown on JS all you like, but if git was perfect within a week of creation, why does it receive updates? 🤔
Those were all written prior to release as a way to ensure git could grow and evolve with its userbase.
Sorry, the sarcasm didn’t come through. My joke was that no software is perfect because software is constantly evolving as people’s needs and desires change.

Only git wasn’t done in 10 days. It was very quickly able to track its own development, but it still took Linus half a year of thinking to be able to make git.
(No, sorry, I can’t find the interview that would validate that claim.)
There are several shell scripts that I’ve written in even less than ten days!
It walks, sounds, smells and looks like a bullshit. I wonder what could it be?
