Standardization. Who writes llms.txt? Everyone writes their own? Will agents still behave the same?

Biggest design bug imo is the workers need to register for the workflows they support, but will happily pull tasks from unrelated workflows if they're on the same queue. No way to put failed tasks back into the queue again either.

Me too! I got interested in category theory and how to express a logical model of "workflows" as a category. Then ai told me workflows are a monoid and not to bother.

Strange advice not to push the mega merge. It's what I call my release branch.

One thing I like is there's many ways to achieve the same result. E.g. author uses a fancy rebase to graft a new branch between trunk and merge point. I could do the same by: 1) rebase -s onto trunk, 2) merge new branch with mega merge, 3) squash old megamerge upwards into new merge. No cryptic revset needed.

I think they're related. You can't have a custom kernel if you can't rebuild the device tree. You can't rebuild blobs.

I think the mental model is like C vs python. Git gives you a forensic trace back in time. jj gives you a story with chapters. Look under the hood you'll still see forensic map of state transitions, but this not what we want to navigate most of the time. Sometimes we need to rewrite an early chapter to make the latest chapter make more sense.

Definitely not true about models knowing jj. I've had latest opus and gpt fail at revsets and fileset syntax, even hallucinating subcommands like jj move (maybe it existed before, interface is not stable). Luckily it's easy enough to not need them most of the time.

For my personal cms I'm using sveltia. But their oath page assumes the repo remote is also the IdP, this means my login button has a GitHub logo instead of Google logo. Now I had spare credits so I forked it. Next weekend I'm fixing their weird support for asset management in R2 buckets.

So your company is fine giving access to their entire GitHub to a third party, and being locked into GitHub too? If their SaaS could work with local only repo setups it would be a better UX...
