    I had no idea that Perforce had acquired Puppet Labs. I’m honestly surprised that Perforce is still in business considering they make the worst version control software I’ve ever used, and that was before Git was invented.

      Wait - are Perforce the clowns behind Visual Source Safe? I entered the workforce only a few years after git really entered the market and had to migrate a project off of VSS.

      Ubiquitous in the games industry unfortunately, for at least the art side but often code as well.

      Perforce is used, either officially or as a licensed derivative, by some very big name tech companies. I can’t name names, but you very likely wrote this comment on a platform whose code is managed by Perforce.

        Like I said, I’ve used it.

        I’m a bit confused by this comment. Lemmy uses Git for version control. Where did you think I wrote this?
