Being responsible for something while having little/no control is so demoralizing & infuriating.

If you're looking to model git branches as much as possible with jj bookmarks and assume that: - the working copy has a bookmark pointing to it - there's some ancestor with a bookmark - there's a single linear path between th

Ah, yes that reading of the “work is invisible” is likely.

Another good sales pitch is `jj undo`[0]. It puts the repo back to previous state, regardless of what the mutative operation was. It's a powerful and simple safety net that unlocks experimentation. It does this by adding an new operati

Your response conflates the categories of people and ignores that statements like "people..." can mean "(some|most|all) people..." in casual writing/speech. It is not a fair response. I agree with your frustration w

Not parent, but for me it was a couple hours of reading (jj docs and steve's tutorial), another couple hours playing around with a test repo, then a couple weeks using it in place of git on actual projects where I was a bit slower. Aft

Zed has the least uncanny valley of any vim emulation that I've tried. Switching is not feasible for me until they get mini.surround[0] and Flash.nvim[1], particularly Flash's treesitter mode (see screenshot of [1] to get an idea)

Pinning to exact versions has been supported in npm for most, if not all of its life. That’s the usual way to do things in most teams working on app code I’ve been a part of (as opposed to library code where version ranges are preferable).

Well, the article is about npm, a package manager for node. Vendoring dependencies into source is a choice, albeit one that I don't often reach for.

Nope. And not sure how you made the leap there from me giving context into my environment and equipment and how I was perceiving some text on the screen.

Good distinction between light grey setting and perception (I was speaking to the former). Maybe on your screen/OS/browser for a given font, a setting of #000 would start at (perceived) “grey”. And agreed that readability is a sca

Semantics, but the #5e636a (39% lightness) text of Neo4j and #1c1e21 (12% lightness) of RabbitMQ aren't what I would consider _light_ grey. That would be up in the #bbb-eee range, or 75%+ lightness (black 0%, dark grey 25%, grey 50%, l

Do you have a recent example of a professional designer doing “light-grey text on a white background”? Because the designers I’ve worked with would never ship that. But maybe I’ve just worked with competent designers.

React enables declarative UI code instead of imperative. That's one of its biggest values. Even in the terminal, especially as the complexity of a tool increases.

I haven’t had the chance to use Svelte in even a semi-serious project. From what I’ve tracked, Runes allow for better handling state complexity and allowing finer grained explicit control of reactivity. Maybe you don’t need that. Seems like

I’ve been Colemak for 11 years. For quick things (<5 min) I can still type decently on QWERTY. For longer I just set the OS to Colemak and then back again when I’m done. Win/Mac has Colemak and Dvorak built in. I hope most linux dis
