I'm a soon-to-be CS BSE looking for a junior software engineering role starting in May. I spent 6 years as a Rails developer, but went to school to help me pivot to systems programming. I want a job that will help me grow my security and distributed systems knowledge.

Of course, that's still way too much. I don't believe that's an honest figure, or the owner is being ripped off.
Writing code for one's own idea is play. Writing code for someone else's vision is work.
You're defending VCS in general. Git is a single VCS implementation, and a shitty one at that.
Git is hacked together from C, Shell, Tcl (which tbh, I've never even heard of), Python, and C++. Mercurial, by comparison, is Python and C.
Git has an awful UI out of the box. Why? There's no reason other than fuck you. Mercurial's UI out of the box is similar to every project that has tried to make Git easier to use. It's for _people_ to use, not Linux kernel developers. [Humor on this topic: http://homes.cs.washington.edu/~asampson/blog/git.html]
Git's documentation also sucks. Suppose you don't understand rebasing. Try running `git help rebase` and you'll get this back: "git-rebase - Forward-port local commits to the updated upstream head". WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN?
Another example: `git help push` returns "git-push - Update remote refs along with associated objects". Why is this so goddamn complicated? It's almost like it was written by developers that have no idea what it's like to not understand how git works. Oh wait.
Mercurial on the other hand, has simple explanations at first, with more in-depth explanations if you look further. `hg help push` returns "push changes to the specified destination". Which is how someone would explain VCS pushing to another human being.
Linus Torvalds isn't running `git help`, people that don't understand git are. Documentation should be written for them.
