I both love and hate Git, there's a very Git way of doing things that sometimes doens't mesh with how I actually work lol

I am starting to get used to not actively resisting learning the new "language" in a way... a different way of thinking almost hurts to switch to but sometimes the change is for the better.

I personally love that now I can click click click the "parent commit" link again and again to get a quick understanding of recent or long-term changes inside huge long-running projects or frameworks ... gives me an idea what are thete typical size/frequency/complexity of commits. Which, again, I am thus learning to change about *myself*.

And hey that's life as a social creature isn't it? Learn from the wisdom of crowds; change is the only constant; get busy living or get busy dying...
