With jujutsu I think is very close to allow this kind of stuff. I like branches because some of my work truly benefit from slow cooking, but with jj I'm more linear than before.

What I think is a better way to say this is that you need a `design` phase before actually writing the first `real` implementation code. Something I do a lot, and even more with the LLMS, is that I make `scratch` projects where I sketch cod

I was a happy mercurial user until market forces and consulting needs made me, regrettably, use the inferior, more complex, more error-prone git. I have used it already for a few years and can't for the life of me figure out how to sol

One thing that as far as I know no single debuggers has (except FoxPro from DOS) is the ability to show a large list of things, but well In general, if something is large (text, arrays, etc) all bets are off. Basically, something like thi

There is a big cohort of people working in ERP-like software (that granted, covers what you say), and is a big niche with A LOT of things that you need to do. I work on this, for small companies. Also, working as database engineer, that is

And Android Studio is even worse (that is weird, the bare IDE is the same as others, but the android apis and tooling overshadow it). And the use of Gradle multiplied it by 1000.

I think Rust is the best option for the `Need to make a project` kind of work. It is overall better, IMHO, and the ecosystem and safety pay dividends. But Zig has several nice things (I don't use it directly but appreciate them, and

The complex thing with a transactional db is that many concurrent transactions (should be) executed simultaneously, and that mix that single query tx and the one that loads 1 million rows.

An even bigger issue is that regular optimizer see a whole static world (the code). You can know very well the size of most things. For DBs, it would be 'trivial' if we could know the exact (or very very close) size of the tables
