1. Why would you want to use several different cli tools? 2. It's not clear to me how this is different fundamentally than just committing your dotfiles?

I don't really. I just tell claude to find the conversation I had with claude about X and it usually does that and then gives me a resume link, which I can then just get back to the conversation with.

I’d love to see a post like this for JS that actually talks about things people run into. Usually when people make a post like this in js, its about archaic things nobody actually uses.

Who cares what you think of someone else’s qualifications?

It’s just someone quoting someone to help ground their position.

What if it was a journalist writing about a security vulnerability then a programmer quoting them, would that count then?

I have no idea what this does or is. I really wish they could have given a better description of why this is useful.

I think my biggest question is who cares? What does having an interesting internal architecture have to do with the “its electron though” ideological attack.

the thing about abstractions is that nothing implies that they aren’t leaky abstractions, which may be worse than no abstraction for future bug hunters

> that if you are in a special situation your needs don't matter and we will close your thread without really listening.

Are there any other $50B+ Valuation companies that care about special situations? If so, who?

Git does not ‘just work’, hence the creations of jj and every git wrapper cli/ui in the past N years with serious traction (>100).

Nothing in this project looks vibecoded. I compel you to try vibecoding this in a couple weeks if you think it’s possible, and then after that to build a business out of it. If the only thing stopping you is the code, you should give it a try.

There’s no business in working with an existing community to add functionality. And hence, where do you think the full time developers working on the project would get their livelihood?

Yes you could add all these things to git, but no, nobody will give you $17M to do it, nor will you find competent engineers who are willing to work for whatever funding they can find for “improving git”, which in all reality will probably round down to 0 in comparison to several software engineer’s salaries.
