   The same author wrote the blog post that was on the front page here recently about the plummeting cost of solar [0]. I really like his posts, readable by someone like me who is way below layman on the subject, but I think also pretty inte

    I tried jj recently based on a sub-thread here on HN, have to say I did really like it, but still came away feeling like it was going to take a lot to train the muscle memory away from git. Edit: Here's that sub-thread: https:/&#

    I switched to devbox about a month ago after reading some comments on here about it, so far I couldn't be happier with it. It's certainly blazing fast, but also manages versions better, supports multiple users on the same machine,
