    Love the new site! Minor typo in the Erlang card: “Elixir also excels at IoT, distributed systems, and everything the Erlang is renowned for” should probably be “everything the Erl…

    I am not really sure how much yet another post complaining about async/await that ends with “thread-per-core is the way to go” adds to this discussion. Granted I’m both an Erlang p…

    Totally fair :) personally I used to be a git wizard and I am relieved at how much about it I’ve been able to forget since learning jj, but I understand not everyone has the same e…

    Yes, that describes me at both jobs I’ve had since learning jj. Hence why I asked for specifics: I’m genuinely curious what other people struggle with, partially because I’d like t…

    I assume you mean named branches (bookmarks in jj)? Because anonymous branches in jj are trivial: you just `jj new ` and you have a new branch. Bookmarks aren’t that bad either IMO…
