Yeah, I’ve actually been thinking about adding a toggle, because some folks really like having the slides there, and some folks do not . A better layout for talks (side-by-side, e.g.) could help, too. I debated including XKCD 2347 in the

I think you read into the article some things that weren’t there. The question from the colleague was why I was even interested in learning something we all knew (me included!) we wouldn’t use there. At no point did I propose using Rust a

If you enable the watchman integration, then you actually get very close to this: your current change’s evolution log and the repo operation log will have every change which was persisted to disk. There are tradeoffs to that, of course, but

It does not implement Git worktrees, but instead implements its own notion of workspaces which frankly I find much nicer (unsurprisingly!). As with most things jj: just as much or more power than Git, but less hassle. Working with submodu

I actually find jj great for (1). The project I reference working on in this post is in exactly that bucket, and the kinds of things I do with it are not “complicated” but jj is still much, much better than working with Git—not least fo

Thanks to the feedback in this discussion, the article now does discuss 5at line; much obliged to all the folks who helped me fix a substantial error.

Yeah, a thing I implemented years ago to handle the ability to hide the side nav on wide screens never worked quite the way I expected. Making it not do that except when specifically toggling the nav has always been on the “to-do”, just

Ah, you’re totally right; I badly misstated that. I’ll update it tomorrow accordingly. Thank you for the correction. Your last comment before the edit is one part of what I was trying to get at; the other was that Drop itself must uphold th

In some sense even the best talks are an attempt to distill things we have learned into a tight enough package that it helps people (a) think a little differently and (b) go read and learn more themselves. Sometimes that turns into self-pro

> I suggest never beginning an introduction with "this is the best talk I've ever given". Heh, this is fair, and I actually just edited the intro in response to that feedback. In my defense, the talk itself doesn’t start t

Thanks! The books and essays are fantastic, and if I get a few people to read them, this will have been a successful talk! Re: LinkedIn—Ha! I debated on how much to include/not-include specific references to my previous employer there,

Author here, and I agree that Rust shouldn't represent the end of history for programming language evolution. Vehemently. I have been saying for the better part of a decade now that I hope very much Rust is the first of a new breed o

This is, indeed the type of stuff most people run into if their career spans more than a couple years, touches large organizations, etc. That is why I thought it would be useful to share: it is the kind of thing that would’ve been really he
