Should also be noted that i never take my hands of the wheel. And the volvo is quite fast at beeping at me if it detects that i dont hang onto the wheel.

LFS is just on a whole different level, and is on my bucket list to complete the entire process one day.

It's also important to factor in the case of "a key holder was hit by a bus, and now we can no longer access their private key".

And there are only smaller comparisons towards steel. They are more focused on how it compares to regular wood.

In summary, what they are doing: 1. Boil the wood. 2. Press the wood. 3. Done.

Still, i do think returning the error as a return value is better than having a completely separate flow when dealing with exceptions. I like that it forces me to properly deal with an error and not just ignore it and think something like "meh, i'll get to this later". Because i will never "get to it later".

> hk is written in rust, pre-commit is written in python. hk will be much faster.

I have no idea how fast hk or pre-commit is, i have never used them. What matters to speed is the algorithms used and their complexities. If you implement a shitty algorithm with exponential complexity in Rust it's going to be slower than a linear complexity algorithm in python.

You cant just take these things, press a button, and voila, a small bundled server platform anyone can run at home. The modern day software development experience is a massive and complex beast.
