    You gotto love how the AI took the axis on the left, was confused enough from its tail that it thought it must be pointing in the opposite direction to development flow and then went "welp if it is going in the other direction, the label "time" must be a typo. Ima make it Tim the time traveller instead". Ofcourse none of it happened like this, but I would like to imagine that it did.

    It's still not a bad system if you have to support and provide bugfixes for multiple versions of software. However, if you only support the latest version and only create bug fixes and features based on the latest release or main branch, then git-flow is way overkill.

    It's an atrocious, pointlessly complicated system resulting in convoluted project histories prone to confusion. Trunk-based development with sensible tags of releases & hotfixes achieves the same thing without the junk complexity. Git flow isn't overkill, it's just ill-conceived.

    This is a joke, right? OneFlow isn’t trunk-based development and is actually gitflow with different steps. I have yet to see any org actually use trunk-based development mostly because I’ve not seen cherry-picking from the trunk adopted at any large scale.

    I pushed my team to use trunk based development. We did cherry-picks from trunk to release branches for a couple years with no issues. Since then, I've written a GitHub action that automates the cherry-picks based on tickets in the commit messages.

    But even before the automation, it drastically improved our dev processes.

    We weren't on Git Flow exactly, but it was a bastardized version of it.

    Having used TBD successfully for like 5-6 years now. I can't imagine using Git Flow.

    What is large scale to you? We have 100-200 developers doing something fairly close to trunk based development. Including cherry picking from trunk when possible (not always practical for sufficiently old release branches)

    I really hope "morging continvoucly" becomes a meme and is used to mock microsoft forever

    To be honest, what I'm most mad about isn't the typoes, it's that someone generated this image and figured, yeah alright, that will clear things up.

    On some level you want to believe that even if someone does not come up with a proper concept for a visualization, that they still check what the AI shat out, so that it's at the very least not conceptually wrong and not confusing.

    This image isn't just shitty, it's actively worse than having no visualization. They could've generated that, chuckled, and not used it. Just how do you blunder your perception check so badly that you decide to include it anyways?

    That is exactly the problem. I understand people using AI to make things. I don't understand blindly publishing AI slop without verifying it's correct.

    Everybody using genAI has to understand that AI will often be wrong, and frequently ridiculous, and that it's up to you to ensure that what you deliver is correct.

    And because nobody likes to review other people's work (most people are terrible and sloppy reviewers), it's better to put yourself in the center: have AI propose ideas or review the result, but you make the thing. That's how you ensure everything passes through your hands.

    That is likely because depending on AI makes you gradually less and less likely to cross-check and verify stuff. For some the whole appeal is the belief that they can get the answer/product they want in a second, ready to go out of the box and without having to spend any mental energy.

    Even without considering the typos, the diagram is incomprehensible with all these arrows pointing in every direction and textboxes placed randomly. I had to look at the original to understand it.

    Well, that explains a lot about the product quality. Their entire development workflow is a complete fucking mess.

    • Long-lived feature branches.
    • Creating merge commits to main just for the sole purpose of tagging them as releases while also maintaining separate release branches.
    • Force-pushing tags to incorporate post-release hotfixes instead of releasing minor patch updates.
    • Taking bugfixes from releases and merging them back into the development branch (have they not heard of cherry-pick?)
    • Always using merges even when a rebase would be easier to follow and keep the history more straightforward.

    And Microsoft stole it from a different developer, who posted it back in 2011... and then ran it through Copilot without even checking it thoroughly before adding it to training documentation.

    I love git flow but the GitHub tooling is bad. It forces you into GitHubflow which is very confusing for those building from source
