It’s funny because it’s true.

It’s working fine on my end?

#6I think the explanation does not make any sense in 2023, if 99.99% of dev use Git you have to use Git, using your own solution that no one else uses or know or need to know is bad.
If you want to make your project more open to contribution you have to use what the rest of the industry is using.
Edit: After reading some responses, I'm really surprised that sqlite does not accept contributions.

#7I think there are some legitimate criticisms of Git here. But some of them are...odd. Despite using Git in a variety of circumstances, from a local personal repo project to very large company repos, I admit I haven't run into about half of these issues.

I hope my team never has to consider their mobile device as a way to check the status of a branch. It hasn't even crossed my mind as a use case. Does this come up often for others?

#8I’m sure git is less than ideal. I pretty much just know enough to do what I need to do with it. The only reason I want to use it is because it is the industry standard tool.
Otherwise Hg, Perforce, have all had pretty compelling arguments put forward for their use.
There’s so much technical churn in this industry, that any time I can use something that’s widely embraced I’m actually happy for that. Regardless of my personal feelings on it.

Site worked fine for me, but in any case, SQLite is 23 years old now and widely used all over the place and well understood by many thousands of developers... the time has long since passed when its reputation might hinge on the moment-to-moment uptime of its own home page.
