That old beatiful git branching model got printed into the minds of many. Any other visual is not going to replace it. The flood of 'plastic' incarnations of everything is abominable. Escape to jungles!!

Indeed. I don't remember all the details of the flow but the aesthetics of the diagram are still stuck in my head.

Waiting for the LLM evangelists to tell us that their box of weights of choice did that on purpose to create engagement as a sentient entity understanding the nature of tech marketing, or that OP should try again with quatuor 4.9-extended (that really ships AGI with the $5k monthly subscription addon) because it refactored their pet project last week into a compilable state, after only boiling 3 oceans.

Glorp 5.3 Fast Thinking actually steals this diagram correctly for me locally so I think everyone here is wrong

I may have a new favorite HN comment.

One step closer to the Redditification of HN. And it is entirely because the content out there nowadays.

Maybe you're missing the reference to the Morbius movie joke, which sounds surprisingly fitting. It's not like older HNers never made funny references. Edit: Apparently you didn't.

HN is a Serious Place. We're here to make money. Please leave your jokes at home.

They've taken it down now and replaced with an arguably even less helpful diagram, but the original is archived: https://archive.is/twft6

Wow it’s even worse than I thought. I thought that convictungly morhing would be the only problem. The nonsense and inconsistent arrowheads, the missing annotations, the missing bubbles. The “tirm” axis… That this was ever published shows a supreme lack of care.

Is it truly possible to make GitFlow look worse than reality?

I love it when the LLM said "it's morgin' time" and proceeded to morg all over the place.

Ha, I think a user since 2007’s earned the right to do that once in a while.

The commenter you're responding to a) independently made the exact same reference; b) has a username like that of Jared Leto's other Disney tentpole flop role...

This is so out of hand.

There's this. There's that video from Los Alamos discussed yesterday on HN, the one with a fake shot of some AI generated machinery. The image was purchased from Alamy Stock Photo. I recently saw a fake documentary about the famous GG-1 locomotive; the video had AI-generated images that looked wrong, despite GG-1 pictures being widely available. YouTube is creating fake images as thumbnails for videos now, and for industrial subjects they're not even close to the right thing. There's a glut of how-to videos with AI-generated voice giving totally wrong advice.

Then newer LLM training sets will pick up this stuff.

Was reading the word morged thinking it was some new slang I hadn't heard of. Incredible.

I propose: Morge: when an AI agent is attempting to merge slop into your repo.

Lifehack: you can prevent many morges by banning user claude on GitHub. Also then GitHub will also tell you when a repo was morged up.

Do your part to keep GitHub from mutating into SourceMorge.
