Merging works fine, as long as Git knows how to resolve the ancestry. Rebasing breaks that (save for hacks like rerere).

Merges go wrong sometimes. That's life. That mismerge would have been just as bad if they had rebased instead, except you wouldn't have had the context to go back and fix it. How would that be better?

Also, IdeaVim is just awful compared to Evil. - Tracks the mode globally (rather than per editor), and treats mode-switching as an edit operation (so if you accidentally enter a read-only tab in insert mode then you need to switch to anoth

An IDE's literal whole selling point is supposedly being a packaged product that you can just pick up and run with, at the price of not being particularly good at any of the things it does (and usually being pretty expensive). If you

Ultimately, jj is trying to make the "branches are a mutable series of patches" workflow easier. The problem is that that workflow is still ultimately harmful nonsense[0] that is based on a misunderstanding of version control. [0]

Higher-level languages still operate according to defined rules and logic, even if we can sometimes disagree with those rules, and it still takes time to learn the implications of those rules. AI prompts.. do not. It's fundamentally ju

This is like arguing that surely we can get rid of all our formers as soon as we have a widespread enough caste of priests. There is no such thing as "prompt engineering ", because there is no formal logic to be understood or eng

Yesn't. Rust is perfectly happy to emit/use dynamic links.[0] It's just that the primary C use case (distributing and updating the main app and its libraries separately) ends up being unsafe since Rust's ABI is unstable

It sounds like you're confusing the Wii's backwards compatibility with the PS3's. The Wii didn't have a separate "GameCube chip", its core was effectively an overclocked GC.

Merge main into your branch, then merge --no-ff your branch into main. No need to rebase or squash anything.

On top of this, integration is an "interesting" step on its own! When trying to diagnose an issue it can be super valuable to be able to understand whether it was broken from the start or broken by the merge. Rebasing throws all o

Even better, `git merge --no-ff` your PRs and use `git log --first-parent` for the simplified "as-if-it-was-squashed" history.
