> Using Jujutsu, “amending a commit” also produces a new commit object, as in Git, but the new commit has the same change ID as the original. This is confusing to me, though to be fair I'm a "git expert" by trade. If you&#

Whenever I see tools like this I always think "that wouldve been great at my old job where we didn't do post mortems" But nowadays I think if I can automate a runbook can I not just make the system heal itself automatically?

This to me is the real question. I don't see how you could easily create multiple clients if you're practicing what is preached in the article. You're really tying your server to the browser at that point so things like CLI c
