- ahoka 2mo agoI think it's a very Microsoft thing. It's a parallel evolution of software branching from the microcomputer era.
- sunshowers 2mo agoGitHub has a chance to get a generation of developers on to better coding practices. LLMs make it more feasible than ever to maintain high-quality patch series/stacked diffs — they can take care of all the mundane things like rebase conflicts for you. If I were in charge I would take this responsibility very seriously. I guess the next best thing would be to port spr to this. (Probably time to start looking at this to be honest!) This makes me quite sad.
- Degorath 2mo agoNot sure if it makes you feel better, but it seems there's at least a few startups trying to get a jujutsu-native forge going, by people who have seen and used the way Google's (and other big tech's) systems work.
- sunshowers 2mo agoIndeed, and I happened to have been part of the creation story for one of them :) https://lobste.rs/s/ghdv6w/i_see_future_jj#c_nx6flj https://lobste.rs/s/ghdv6w/i_see_future_jj#c_nx6flj (not otherwise affiliated, though)
- Degorath 2mo agoThat's really cool! I tried getting on board with ERSC, but the timezone difference proved too much :(. At least it gave me the kick to try and build my own company, though!
- sunshowers 2mo agoThat's wonderful! Good luck.
- Groxx 2mo agoIt was definitely also the case before Microsoft, but I can't imagine it has improved since the acquisition. I try to avoid the site nowadays, it's randomly extremely slow and I would much rather spend my energy elsewhere anyway.
