Hillel Wayne posits that version control is the number one thing computer science/programming/software engineering has to teach to the other engineering disciplines. It wouldn't work without diff. It's really foundational for what it is we do, you know?

- mrWiz 2y agoI wish more engineering tools had an equivalent of diff. Manually redlining schematics and drawings is such a pain.
- 1-more 2y agothat's a really interesting idea. Many formats representing drawings like SVG and Kicad Schematics are text formats, not binary. They can be diffed, and it's a matter of rendering the diff as part of the drawing, not as text. I wonder if anyone is working on such a thing.
