It's completely embarrassing, whatever marketing person wrote it needs to be got rid of.

> The result: your team can focus on the good stuff—write, submit, and commit. No tool sprawls here.

The good stuff? Tool sprawls? Is this written for teenagers?

> Merge queue is designed for high-performance teams where multiple users regularly commit to a single branch.

I think you meant "highly active". High performance means something else. But I can kind of see it emerging from your awful sales person brain.

You can be critical without being unnecessarily harsh.

Not everything that is harsh is unnecessary.

In what world is ranting about PR copy and saying someone should lose their job over quite literally doing what they were asked necessary?

Who, exactly, is it necessary for? The original commenter getting their rocks off on insulting someone else’s job? Others coming in and laughing at someone insulting someone else? Critically necessary.

It’s not like the original article author is going to come in, see this comment, and reflect deeply on themselves and their work.

I admit I was harboring a small hope that someone from GitHub / Microsoft might see the criticism here (not just mine) and that it might help reduce the frequency with which that sort of sales person tries to communicate with their market of software engineers. It was a bit unpleasant to suggest someone should lose their job. While they were presumably asked to write the piece, they were not asked to write it so tastelessly.

So you sit next to them and therefore know what their assignment was and how well they executed on it?

If the marketing person that wrote this was told to write this, I don't see why he should be got rid of.

[da39a3ee]

For doing such a bad job I guess. Marketing doesn't have to be written like the audience are teenagers. But yes it was a bit unpleasant to say that.

Or maybe "high-contention"
