    Sure just like any non-critical tool. It's optional. LLMs will do most of the work anyways. And they don't need jj. Like I said, jj helps solving a human problem in an LLM era. It'…

    They run a Rust consultancy business. Anything is worth converting to Rust, for the right price.

    Sounds like we just need a Dyson sphere. Besides, I have been hearing "this is the limit" since the doomers of "this is just a markov chain and can't be useful". Yet the limits kee…

    Culture change is hard. A lot of humans still don't use git too. Many do only when they are forced. And it's much easier for a professional to be forced to use LLMs than jj when it…

    This. I feel jj is some years too late. It tries to solve a human problem in an LLM era. LLMs are destined to overcome humans in code merging and change versioning (already did for…

    Correction: The use of LLMs has caused every major language usage to explode. And as mentioned in other comments, Rust slow compilation can be detrimental to LLMs + fast iteration …

    Do you boycott Apple and Google too? Because they have to comply with debatable laws just as Meta. See drama about Apple maps for Taiwan/China for example.

    It has potential to remodel society though. Cars replaced horses. But AI is poised to replace a large chunk of brain labour. Where's the ceiling?

    If they buy Cursor I might start using it because I'll know the tool will have infinite funding and will be worth my time investment. Specially because Grok isn't neutered when it …

    When you say DeepSeek v4... you do realise it is a 1.6T param model right? What kind of consumer hardware can run it reasonably in your mind?

    Our experiences clearly differ then. And for others as well since it's a common complain. Countless time I have seen other people complain as well. There are articles about it even…

    For core system functionality maybe. But for most applications Rust slow compiler iteration speed becomes a bottleneck when the likes of TypeScript (with Bun) and Go have sub secon…

    Nah, they are moving to DeepSeek v4 Pro which is like Sonnet tier for a fraction of the price. And DeepSeek V4 Flash is comparable to Gemini Flash at also a fraction of the cost. T…

    The most aggravating fact here is not even AI blunder. It's how deleting a volume in Railway also deletes backups of it. This was bound to happen, AI or not. > Because Railway stor…

    I'm glad such talent moved on to work for companies that care instead of wasting their talent. Intelligence comes in many forms. This decision is one of them.

    That can be said about any project. And VSCode as been improving since inception, hence why it ate a large pie of the market.
