Clown on JS all you like, but if git was perfect within a week of creation, why does it receive updates? 🤔
replies:
Only git wasn’t done in 10 days. It was very quickly able to track its own development, but it still took Linus half a year of thinking to be able to make git.
(No, sorry, I can’t find the interview that would validate that claim.)

I don't understand where the author got the idea that git was production ready in 10 days... Let's look at git history:
- Official development started on 03.04.2005.
- Git could self host on 07.04.2005.
- Git achieved Torvald's performance goals on 29.04.2005.
- On 16.06.2005 git was used to release the Linux kernel for the first time. That can be considered the first beta release, which achieved its goals, but wasn't production ready yet.
- Production ready v1.0 was released on 21.12.2005. That's waaaaaaaay longer than 10 days.
No good software is released in 10 days.

Altair Basic was released in 1978 for hardware that sold around 25,000 units..
I'm sure glad computing remained exactly equally complex since then, with exactly the same number of users, and same minimal diversity of use cases. (This is sarcasm.)
Everything should still take 10 days. Anyone who tells me it takes longer probably believes all that crap about the Internet being more than a passing fad. (Still sarcasm.)
There are several shell scripts that I've written in even less than ten days!
