From mental health & arts to software engineer in under a year. Passionate about tech for good. Will inevitably end up writing about how coding makes me feel too…
Yes. I believe strongly that they should ALL change. I know it’s a long article but did you read the whole thing? Because I mention Github and extensions too.
GitLab actually patched blame previously but then reverted back to it...
I’m not sure if you’re joking or not about the last part - but if you disagree, I’ll just leave it at that! I’ve made a strong case in the article itself so if that didn’t convince you, my commenting won’t either. 😅
I'm just joking 😀
Well, you can just rewrite git from scratch in other system-level language while doing optimization and making it more intuitive without blaming others 😉 github.com/Byron/gitoxide

If you had read my article in full, then you’d know I am against blaming others and not actually drawing the conclusions you seem to think I am. I do, however, advocate for kindness, a thoughtful use of language, and moving away from the kind of humour you’re consistently showing in your replies.
Sorry for not answering your question. Asking your audience whatever they fully read your article or not is kinda insulting. It's like that you are assuming they don't have a capacity to read the whole article. And I'm sorry if the joke didn't fit and seems rude to you, it's not my intention. I'm just one of many developer whose bad with words that you can found everyday.
About gitoxide, the experiment started in 2009 (12 years ago, 4 years after Git released) where the author try to implement git-core in Go. At the same year, the author also write a Python wrapper for git. After 2 years, the rewrite started again but now in C++ to exercise advanced features of C++0x and use both STL and Boost libraries. Now the author maintain both gitPython (a Python wrapper of git) and gitoxide (a full Rust rewrite of git). Hope this pique your interest contributing to gitoxide while enriching Rust ecosystem.

Hey, I totally agree - I feel like such a dick each time I suggest that! I really try to avoid it. I'm sorry I didn't in this case. But the reason I suggested you haven't read my article in full is because you implied I'm blaming an individual for the feature. When in fact, I try really hard not to! 🙂
Gitoxide sounds like an amazing project. But I have neither the time nor the skills or inclination to contribute to it. Moreover, it doesn't fix the problem I describe.
The point I'm trying to make here is that the current default is harmful. And the default is git (as well as github, gitlab, git extensions in IDEs etc), not gitoxide.
Quick metaphor to make sure we're on the same page: suggesting I go off and write a different source control tool is like saying to someone who sees corruption in their government and wants to fix it to go off and create their own government elsewhere, instead of advocating for less corruption within their own country. Hope this makes sense.
In any case, thanks for the discussion!
