Linus Torvalds built Git in 10 days - and never imagined it would last 20 years
Git is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Here's why Torvalds never intended for it to stick around.

I'm part of the accounting team in my company, a fucking big corporation, but because I'm not part of the dev or IT department IT dosen't want to give me access to the azure devops they use. So I had to ask for service desk to install git locally and using it like that.
Principle of least permission. I'm a dev and I still have to ask for temporary permission to even access customer infrastructure to solve production issues. Why should you need access to deployment infrastructure? I would deny you too, especially if your need could be solved by a local install of git.
I think we in the financial department need a devops for us, we write a lot of code that generates a lot of important information for strategic decisions and for regulatory bodies. I'm the only one in the accounting team that knows how to code, but the actuarial team? All of them write code. And all of that code is sparced on butch of directories with _v{n}, _final_version, _post-fix, (copy) and so on. Is completely ridiculous that everything is being moved to Python without a git environment.
I'm a SysAdmin and I've met several 'coders' who went thru a coding bootcamp, or even went to college and don't know about git, less alone how to use it... kinda makes me sad.
