> Authenticity mattered more than production value.

Thanks for sharing this authentic story! As an ex-MSFT in a relatively small product line that only started switching to Git from SourceDepot in 2015, right before I left, I can truly empathize with how incredible a job you guys have done!

Yeah, it was a whole journey. I can't believe it happened. Thanks for your comment.

Thank you! Btw, it reminds me of the book "Showstopper" about the journey of releasing Windows NT; highly recommended!

Thanks for the recommendation! I was just about to reread "Soul Of A New Machine", but will try Showstopper instead, since it sounds to be the same genre.

tangentially, if you like that genre one of my favourite books in it is "where wizards stay up late", about the development of the internet.

I spent a lot of time coaching people out of source depot, it was touch and go there for a while. It was worth it though thank you for Your effort.
