   I'm also #amazed at how many people basically say `the only #VC system I know is #git and can't learn any others enough to submit a patch, not even diff and patch!'. Like, really? Did these people only get exposed to software #dev < ~3 years ago?

     Reminds me of `tech professional' who was teaching my team about some groupware tool in ~2007: "Bugzilla? What's that? Some in-house tool?"

     If you say "I've never heard of Bugzilla—is it some in-house thing?", know that it seriously undermines your #credibility with #programmers.

     @rozzin I'm just throwing spitballs from the peanut gallery these days though, so please ignore me. :p

     @rozzin At least they know git, not #monotone.

     I use vi for some things, too—despite a general preference for #emacs.

     @rozzin RCS is quite useful for simple web page versioning or even quick script versioning

     @rozzin Yep, the "editor war" is/was pretty silly (though I've played along for fun at times). Sometimes there was strangeness when the ...

     AFAIC, anyone saying "I only want to know 1 tool" or "I won't work with anyone using different tools" is really saying "never hire me".

     @chillicampari @rozzin Have you ever encountered sincere editor war? I've always read it as self consciously a put on. Oh, and vi sucks.

     @vanden Sure! But there would be temporary cease-fires where we'd all come together and gang up on that guy in the corner using UltraEdit.

     I didn't so much object to people using SlickEdit as an #editor, but I was stuck with it as a #build-system, and it didn't actually... work.
