To see who is actually right, we would need to take a measurement of SCM systems across all Fortune 500 companies.

Writing statements about Git's adoptin on HN posts don't make them into facts, unless they are baked by actual numbers.

The fact is that both of us are wrong, because neither of us have the data of those 500 companies, only anecdotes.

That would make both of you undecided. But one of you is right and the other wrong.

Nope. I didn't make any claims that "all" Fortune 500 companies, or even "most" Fortune 500 companies use Git. You said, verbatim:

> Only in the open source world and a few SV darlings.

This statement is _factually_ incorrect. None of the companies I've worked for/done work for/communicated with were in SV and _all_ of them used Git. AKA it is in fact _not_ just "a few SV darlings," because the companies I've mentioned that use Git were neither of those things.

It is as factually correct as "Git is the standard now and has been for years.".
