I know nothing about any of this Subverion/Git stuff. I do know that it often requires less effort, and almost always is more fun to create, than to learn. So creative people will take that branch even if is is "irrational". a may or may not agree. I suspect he is in favor of rational choice but do wonder how he would contrast that with creative choice by those who are ignorant. Rational choice has a high cost. You have to expend a lot of energy surveying what others have done. This means looking at a lot of really bad stuff. And sometimes some good stuff that takes a lot of time to understand. Ignorance is bliss. Ignore the good and the bad. Bliss is almost always easier to obtain than knowledge. More curious as time goes by. With no fixed opinion, except I note that doing the "right" thing is not the same as doing the "fun" thing. Nor is doing the "right" thing always the choice that leads to the "best" out come. Funny but things are much more complex than that. Often the guys who just go out and have fun create the stuff that matters. Puritans rarely create anything.
