The issue is that when we hire skilled craftsmen or engineers, we expect them to be familiar with and capable of using the tools of their craft.

You wouldn't hire a carpenter who didn't know how to use a hammer, why do we expect so called "software engineers" to be handheld through using a basic tool like git, which is entirely based on simple structures like a DAG, immutable hashes and pointers?
