> 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.

    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.
