Supply and demand does _not_ work everywhere else. That is a highschool-level interpretation of the astrology we call economics. Complex systems in reality are not defined by two simple lines on a graph. If you use Google there is plenty of

I agree. I've had the unfortunate experience of moving from more expressive languages and interesting problems to less expressive languages and boring problems as the size of my TC and company go up. :') But you can only do what y

How well does your integration handle stacked PRs (if at all)? I find that the majority of my interaction with git is super basic that I get no value add replacing `git add -p` (esp. since I'm always in my terminal with Vim/tmux).
