Pick My Brain with Alan Jones 
About Dan Borthwick
Dan Borthwick is the founder of NiceGit, a source control tool that lets designers, product managers, writers and other non-engineers sync changes to Git projects without the command line. The product, built on Git and working with GitHub, Bitbucket and GitLab, is in beta.
Borthwick has built software products for most of his career, including mobile games at EA and King and AI products in health technology. He went full-time on NiceGit in early 2024 and took part in Startmate's Launch Club.
On Pick My Brain with Alan Jones, he explained why Git has become a bottleneck as more people outside engineering work on codebases, and how NiceGit reduces it to a single sync button.
