Too Long; Didn't Read
Git has redefined the way we write software. It’s an ingenious technology, and its community and ecosystem are utterly vibrant. It’s become so ubiquitous that it’s hard to imagine anything could follow it. But that line of thought should sound suspicious by now: People said the same thing about the horse and buggy, the gas lamp, and the landline telephone. Humans are fundamentally a restlessly inventive species, and technology doesn’t sit still. So, while Git might still feel fresh — perhaps due to everything flourishing around it — it’s worth remembering that the first version was released <em>two years before the original iPhone</em>. A lot has changed since then, to say the least.
