Within my own company, yes. We’ve shipped a lot more features this year with the same number of people. They’re also better features. We get from 0 to 90% in an hour and then still put a lot of effort into that last 10%. The projects have b

It drastically simplifies the process. Redescribe, reorder, split, squash, abandon commits is trivial. Auto-rebasing is fantastic, fix a conflict once and not have to keep correcting. You can rebase individual commits, ranges of commits, et

Yeah, my solution to this problem has been to get Claude to use jj to create a clean commit history. Each commit serves a single purpose and includes what drove the decisions we made. You lose the noise and still have the meaning. So I&#x27

I think what you’re talking about is real, but it’s only part of the problem. The issue is it’s poor design. There’s a lack of consistency that is really off putting. Spacing is inconsistent and doesn’t create a sense of visual hierarchy. B

History is immutable ONCE it’s merged. Prior to that, it’s malleable. We rewrite our branch history fairly often. I’ll take a big PR that’s ready, and rewrite the history in a way that tells clear story. This lets me stack PRs so it’s easie

Neovim has been game changing. Literally nothing I miss from VSCode or Jetbrains now

Same experience. At first I really didn’t get it and now I could never go back. The ease of rebasing, renaming, reordering, splitting, etc. Has drastically changed the way I work. My PRs are undoubtably much better now, and I am never afrai

Canada is being attacked because its leadership are mobsters who attack everyone around them and then do insider trading to make themselves rich

I don’t buy that Canada is isolated and reliant at all

They can be repaired but it is going to require a very significant amount of work on one side of the border in particular.

People I know change their meal plans if the only options are US products.

Nah because none of us will buy it

In Canada It’s made with Canadian milk. There’s also other brands of cream cheese.

Genuine question: if a human did this manually would it be considered derived?

Cool yeah. I got a M3 with 32GB ram and it’s a little iffy. I’ve considered getting a MacMini to act as an in-house

What kind of machine do you have running that? My attempts at local have always resulted in a very hot lap

For doing what?

It’s a mix. Partially a systems problem. We used to have that problem, then we changed the way work is selected. Sales is part of the process, so they’re forced to see all the things we could build and help decide which ones were saying no

I work at a 6 year old startup. Essentially every feature and bug fix we’ve shipped in the last year has had LLMs involved. Every project plan involved AI, either for writing or for codebase research. For code review we get AI to do the fir

That’s an interesting question, in particular because I don’t think I have a single example

I’ve used it for several improvements to our wysiwyg. I was able to refactor to a much more cohesive architecture that is making future work much easier/safer. We got a fzf like search algorithm for an autocomplete that includes markin

jj required a very weird mind shift in how I work, but since it’s clicked I’d never go back. Occasionally it makes easy things a bit awkward, but the amount of hard things it makes easy is incredible. Several patterns of work have become co

I don’t know if Gitlab is an industry standard, but I’ve never heard of Forgejo. I worked for a headless CMS company and the only three providers we ever had requests for were GitHub, Bitbucket, and Gitlab. Gitlab is big enough to be genera

I just hit my Claude Max limit for the first time _ever_ thanks to workflows lol Like 90 agents ran to do a code review of a fairly small package I have. They're really looking for us to increase token usage aren't they?

I feel like using $1.3M/year is a wild outlier. A $200/month Max sub is a pretty cheap way to get quite a lot of benefit.

I’ve recently switched to jj and it is truly amazing. It too about a week for me to “get it”. The tool is amazing but I think there’s way too much emphasis on what it does/allows rather than what benefits it brings to your workflow. If

It did for sure. And Tailwind absolutely doesn’t need to be done this way. I think this is a correlation-not-causation issue
