Friend who is not a software person sent me this tweet, which amused me as it did them. They asked if “runk” was real, which I assume not.

But what are some good examples of real ones like this? xz became famous for the hack of course, so i then read a bit about how important this compression algorithm is/was.

Man, I remember ancient gmod addons released using (iirc) turtle svn so they could auto update. Was a wild time.

That’s a name I’ve never heard before. I have heard of Tortoise SVN though.

Th devs at my current organization use turtle svn, but that seems to be more down to organizational politics combined with a misunderstanding that git is platform agnostic rather than anything based on merits
