Julia Evans does a great job of

Julia Evans does a great job of demystifying things like Git, and recontextualizing a lot of technologies that olds like me take for granted for the kids these days.

It's fascinating to see this "what do the control characters do" chart, because there's so much "yeah, but, and...", and yet it's kinda mostly right and I can see that contextualization.

Yeah. Especially when she does the deep dives into topics, she has a whole lot of "well actually..." to deal with, and, I mean, well, actually, but also sometimes that's enough and ya don't have to know the entire history.
