Git is a distributed version control system that tracks versions of files. This is probably no news to you if you're a developer. In practice, Git is most often used in combination with a hosting platform, such as GitHub or GitLab. While these platforms often simplify a developer's life and increase visibility they can also be limiting in ways.

If you were to ask me what my favourite programming language is, my answer would be Rust. For the majority of projects I'd prefer Rust to any other language I know. This is not because I simply like the syntax of Rust, but because with Rust I can write code quickly and with confidence that it will work. More so than with any other language.
