That "git blame" is called that instead of "git credit" or the like is an example of needed emotional labor not being performed in tech.
One doesn't "blame" their teammates for the code that works, which usually constitutes the bulk of a code base.
I just learned what a "411" is, because #Firefox attempts to educate its users by asking "What's the 411 on 404 messages?"

can't believe we live in a post-modern futuristic dystopia and we didn't even get the cool cyberpunk aesthetic
I'm engaged in a lot of meta-conversations now. The irony doesn't escape me.
