alt Hacker NewsIt could be so much better. At the same time, it’s one of the core tools for a developer. You’ll learn it eventually. You’re going to be using version control for decades. I’ve met devs many years into their careers who don’t understand rebase. It’s like going to a metal shop and they’re complaining about the learning curve on their welder and half the tradesmen are still at a novice level.

I still don't know it very well, and it's been well over a decade. I think it's a combination of a few things:
- I find it uninteresting. My version control needs are very simple.
- Most teams I have been in use a small subset of it.
- It's confusing terms and inconsistent cli are huge warning signs to not go down that rabbithole. Today instead of learning Git I read some Tony Hoare, much better.
I've been at once place where they rebased, and it was awful. Complete waste of time. (great place otherwise though)
