nowhere in the history of language has “there should be such a thing” meant or even implied “making such a thing is easy”

I know its hyperbole but you can’t possible back that statement up.

if anything it implies the opposite.

It doesn’t, but i agree it didn’t really imply the difficulty was high either.

I wasn’t saying the reply was correct, i was stating the intended meaning (at least as i see it).

To answer to your original post, design platforms with version control exist.

Some use git under the hood, some don’t, most don’t require you to understand git to use them.

Hopefully that saves you some time as now you don’t have to build the platform from scratch.
