This is the most common complaint I see for switching interactive shells to fish/nushell, but it's not a problem in practice. You don't ever uninstall bash, so if you've got a comm…

Can confirm; my team spent the past 9 months upgrading an application JDK 8 -> 17, and there were breaking changes even after we got it compiling + running

For the TUI inclined, lazygit [1] and magit (emacs) [2] both have quick and intuitive ways of handling this. They're also both wonderful companions to the git cli for day to day ve…

If you haven't seen it, I'd recommend checking out Amazon's Ion data format: https://amazon-ion.github.io/ion-docs/ It's schemaless, so the binary format can't be as effecient as p…
