> Every save is uploaded, automatically Nope. Last thing I want is for my repo to become huge just because I happened to temporarily create a big file inside the repository directory. Or passwords and credentials to leak because I needed to do a test run. I can see it now: A new kind of malware that repo bombs your organization by randomly creating 2TB files in some guy's repos. Every single person becomes the potential point of network collapse. > every save and commit, every branch name change, every everything, is stored as a separate event. Why would you DO that??? Every branch name change??? That's OCD level crazy. > Imagine: there's a promotion to main, your branch gets auto-rebased on those latest changes, and then your local unit test suite gets run automatically so you immediately know if there's a problem. Oh my god NO!!! The last thing I want is a ghost in the machine changing stuff while I'm working on my branch! Imagine the function you're working on changing mid-edit due to a rebase! What hell is being unleashed here? > Grace lets you share your code with team members effortlessly, around the world, for those times when you need another set of eyes on it, or just want to show them something cool. You can already do that! It's called a branch. > C'mon, it's 2024. There's got to be some AI in here, right? OMG Seriously??? > No stashing Okay, now you're just taking the piss... By this point I'm checking to see if it's April 1st.

Imagine you did have an idea, put a lot of effort building it, just so that some random person takes a dump on your work. It wouldn't be nice, would it? Unnecessarily harsh and misses the point that this is a new VCS that brings valid new ideas to table. As with any new thing, if it's not for you, it's not for you. SBArbeit, ignore this kind of comment. Not because it's not valid feedback, but because it isn't worth it.

  Thank you. <3 I do ignore them. There's no way to build something with an intention as big as "replace Git" that won't invite knee-jerk reactions. I know I'm building the thing that aligns with my creative and technical vision. That's all I can do. It will succeed or it won't, and the reactions from people who are already super-comfortable with the existing technology matter less than the reactions from people who only understand the basics of Git and are afraid of it. I'm building it for them (which includes me).
