fwiw, I believe the official macOS WhatsApp uses Catalyst.

In my opinion (which may be worth little), by using "git" in your product's name today you are also locking onto that technology. So if an another or better VCS comes along (like jj) that you want to embrace it could be harder. (Kind of like how Bitbucket betted wrongly on hg, then later added and switched to git).

More issues generally arise from supporting/qualifying older OS versions than supporting specific architectures in my experience, so developers keep around older hardware or VMs for that purpose. In some other circumstances Rosetta may not be sufficient for testing older Intel hardware (one example is work on GPU)

Is there a way to do that today?

For updating bookmarks I've found like half a dozen variants of `tug` alias the community has come to using which is just a slight improvement (bit daunting to newcomer to pick 'best' one and not fan setting up aliases on all my working devices).

It would be nice if jj was better than git for the fundamental workflows like this out of the box overall.

Just my feedback - I've personally found jj more complex for simple projects. Like if you have a non-collaborative repo where you push to main most of the time after making a series of commits, in jj you have to keep updating a bookmark before pushing it and there's no one command to do both.

If you have another machine on main without any outstanding changes and you want to pull the latest changes that is probably also two steps (git fetch + new?)

That said, I've been liking jj quite a bit for more mature / collaborative projects. It has been a learning experience. (don't enjoy updating bookmarks for PR branches though; jj encourages rewriting history which is not my favorite choice for code review branches; I often work in repos that squash-on-merge).

While I was learning a new keyboard layout (Colemak) I went from > 100 WPM to starting from ~20 WPM. I think I got pretty productive when I reached 60/70 WPM and was surprised how much tab completion and computing assistance I relied on anyway. After that experience I think fast typing speed is overrated. (Now I’ve a somewhat useless skill of being able to type > 100 WPM on two different keyboard layouts.)

Edit: note if you are a typist and transcribe a lot of text for long periods of time without break, typing speed is important. But that’s mostly not any of us. But hey maybe I don’t write enough documentation and comments..

They also did not attend university nor received high school diplomas. They were self driven a lot.

I've been typing in both qwerty and colemak around the same speed (>=100 WPM) for almost a decade. I ultimately ended up deciding to use qwerty at work and colemak at home. At least for me the comfort difference between layouts is marginal.

When I eat at Chipotle I do half/half on black/pinto beans and sometimes on protein :). It’s a hack because they sometimes give you more that way.

I buy whole wheat bread with very little sugar, although it is easier to find wheat bread with lots of added sugar and even more so in restaurants. I guess I would consider it as a good part of my balanced nutrition, not so much healthy by itself.

I'm happy as the author that it's still seeing some good use :)

Personally (on desktop) this design strains my eyes. I want to look in the center where there's nothing to grasp, and there's the official statement, black banner, time boxes, time zone titles in highly varying colors/fonts competing with each other. Also I notice the page auto-refreshing in the background.

Sure, but for clarification the channels I noted are if you are any registered developer and don't have close contact.
