Vimeo Summary

Git is unsocial and destroys the team experience. Don't use it.

Are you using Subversion or CVS? That's great, whatever you do, don't migrate to Git! Git makes you work overtime, confuses developers with too many options, destroys the social interaction with your co-workers and much more. Git has unnecessary features like offline commits and cherry picking that nobody needs at his day job. Your code is the most important thing for your software development and you should use a mature technology for storing it. Let the kids play around with Git.

In this ironic lightning talk I will give you 5 reasons, why you shouldn't use Git always with a twinkle in the eye. So create a new branch in SVN and come to my session while you checkout the branch.

unnecessarily Ironically

That was really infuriating to watch. All of his arguments were pretty trivial and some flat out didn't make any sense. Git is so fast that it forces us to be anti social because we can't go catch up with other people in the time that it would have taken SVN to checkout a branch. Wait what? Git's speed allows you to develop faster without having stop gaps. Something else that is a shocker: Git doesn't force you to stop talking to others. All in all, this guy is grasping at straws.

The talk is supposed to be sarcastic.
