Distributed version control and git

There's a great tech talk by Linus Torvalds on git and distributed version control in general. I'm trying to wrap my head around the topic, and this talk helped me quite a bit.

Cheap Turpentine

"When art critics get together they talk about Form and Structure and Meaning. When artists get together they talk about where you can buy cheap turpentine."

- Pablo Picasso, quoted in "Code Complete" by Steve McConnell

This quote nailed it for me. I still love philosophizing about software and technology, but I know it isn't real so I don't take it too seriously.
