I think this is a fake quote that somebody made up for an Internet comedy bit, since it seems unlikely for Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney to have such uncharacteristically strong opinion on software version control, of all things.

Because she of all people would know that there isn't anything wrong with using git merge, and it ultimately comes down to personal preference to what you are used to.

Fair point, Margot Robbie

That's esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you!

[–] [email protected] 29 points 8 months ago

She’s modest too!

And successful Hollywood film producer -- props on getting into the stakeholder end of the business so early in your career!

Margot Robbie, I was about to agree with you and thought that was a very reasonable take, until you tried to argue that git merge is better than git rebase, then I simply had to disregard the whole thing.

This is why Sydney Sweeney isn't on Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago

She probably is, just anonymous. It would be crazy to expect anyone to post on lemmy under their real name.

But they were arguing that it's personal preference not that one is better than the other

Wait a second, there wasn't even any social media sites back when Benjamin Franklin lived. Did he write that in his newsletter or something?

I think he was a senior contributor for the underground cracker mag 1600 back in the late 80s.

They called em zines.

Truly he was ahead of his time.

But esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress and film director, Margot Robbie, if it's unlikely that Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney said this... wouldn't it be just as unlikely that Margot Robbie would be here? Adding her own comment?

... are you projecting? Is there something you want to tell us esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress and film director Margot Robbie?

No, the tweet is real. Just not the quote.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I mean, it’s posted in programming humor so yeah.

A bit of the old on the internet no-one knows you're a dog, I think. Therefore I am a webdev dog too.
