If you like a thing, it feels natural to tell others about it so that they can also benefit from it. There is no ulterior motive here. Sure everyone in the community will benefit if jj becomes more popular, but it's not like they are trying to sell you something for money. If you don't like it, that's fine, but if someone is facing similar problems to the OP then they will benefit. Almost everyone I've shown jj to at work has converted because it solves the same problems for them as it did for myself. Of course, not everyone has those problems.
- hu3 5mo ago> There is no ulterior motive here. I just want to point out that it is known that one of the biggest jj proponents on HN does have financial incentive to do so. Steve Klabnik (the person that submitted this post) comments and posts about jj here often and works for https://ersc.io https://ersc.io (startup mentioned in the post). So don't be so sure that all of the PR here comes from a pure selfless act. Some of them have income tied to the solution they are preaching.
- surajrmal 5mo agoSure, but I don't and nor do most of the jj community. esrc has less than 10 folks working on it, the number of jj enthusiasts is massive.
