Not really on topic, but I think it's funny that most MMA style gyms always offer Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai as two classes, right after each other. Of the two, Jiu Jitsu seems to generally be the more popular one.

Oh so Google is finally releasing their VCS system I hear so much about. Well it’s Jj not Piper but it looks like Jj will eventually replace Piper and if half the things I’ve heard about Piper are true it will be very successful.

It’s the front end, not the back end that hosts the repository.

FYI: Linux only GA planned for early 2026

This talk is focused on JJ within Google. This is a Google-internal only GA. JJ is available externally just fine. Google is mainly a linux-dev shop, with all other platforms being second-class citizens.

Not that there are any other options. You're not gonna run datacenters on Mac boxes or Window s, nor would you want to pay a Unix vendor

jj is independent of Google.

The full JJ Con playlist is: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOU2XLYxmsILM5cRwAK6y...

I find it interesting that the video itself is unlisted. So do they want people to watch this or not?

It's Google. They are professional foot-shooters when it comes to making their offerings accessible to their audience.

Off topic, and I don't want to knock the presenter here, but if you're ever going to give a public talk or presentation at work _please_ review the Death By Powerpoint slide deck[0] first. [0] https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/death-by-powerpoint/855...

Ugh, I'd prefer people keep passion for the bedroom and just convey information straightforwardly without trying to "sell" it to me.

Adding a false excitement signal to the information is a hindrance to me as a viewer. If you want Tony Robbins then go and see him. If you want an overview of the new product architecture lets keep calm and get on with it.

Ironically, that slide deck is pretty insufferable.

Yes, lets pretend “make *meaning*” is a meaningful thing to say, when compared to “I'm required to do this” or “I have information to convey”

I've worked in huge repos with hundreds of developers pushing code every day, dozens of MRs open per day, and all I always needed was a very limited set of what git is capable of (git commit, git co, git st, git merge/rebase, git log).

To find bugs, I use "bisect but visually" (I usually use jetbrains IDEs, so I just go to the git history, and do binary search in the commits, displaying all the files that were affected, and jumping easily to such versions).

Git conflicts are easily solvable as well with a gui (jetbrain IDEs) via the cli or via something like Sourcetree. Easily, the most used "feature" of git that i use is:

- for a given line of code, see all the files that were touched when that line was introduced

But I usually do that via the IDE (because to go through dozens of files via cli is a bit of a hassle for me)

So, what am I missing? I know jujutsu is much simple (and powerful) than git, but I only have used the "good parts" of git and it has never been a bottleneck... but ofc, you don't know what you don't know.

Thanks for the link. I went through it but I'm not sure what it's telling me to change. Can you elaborate? If it's "be more engaging", i think is unfortunately going to be hard to improve because this is just how i am.

The thing to change: realizing time your audience spends reading your slides is not spent paying attention to what you say.

If you struggle with being engaging, then you want even less text on each slide so that the audience doesn't get an additional reason to tune you out.
