An old piece, I sometimes like to revisit the basics so here it goes. A very nice explanation of how Git is built and how it works internally. It's of course a simplification in some way but close enough to have a good mental model of what goes on behind the commands we use.

I'm not a huge fan of the "Steve Jobs said..." to justify thing, a clear rhetoric trick. Still, I think this short piece nails it down, it's just better when managers actually know the job. It's better to promote someone who knows it and coach that person into the job. There's only one challenge then (which is glanced over in the paper): how to keep this manager technically relevant over time. It's not that easy in our field.

That looks like a nice even though a bit niche 3D model editor. I like this kind of style.
