About KajMagnus

I build an open source cross between StackOverflow + Slack + HackerNews + Discourse: www.talkyard.io

Blog comments: https://www.talkyard.io/blog-comments, like Disqus but open source + hosting, no ads no tracking.

(I wouldn't say this is my main HN account. I have another, anonymous, which I use more often, but not in the same discussions.)

    That's how GitHub discussion works :- ) (or did you know?) Look here: https://github.com/jj-vcs/jj/discussions/ — by default, sorted by last activity. But you can also sort by newe…

    I think they meant that different people can give you different and conflicting advice. Also, check out the Goomba fallacy. (The way you wrote "the advice was... now it is...")

    Interesting, didn't know about that Github functionality. I'd like to not depend that much on Github, and instead I'm thinking about having some kind of archival repo where noisy b…

    That's interesting, so you keep the branches from before the squash -- but do you also rename them somehow, to show that they're now "frozen historic versions"?

    I think the AIs don't have enough information about the problem. There's many things those who wrote the prompts forgot to mention. And some of it maybe is tacit knowledge? Then, i…
