They will stop bombing as soon as Iran comes back to the situation for which it was bombed.

Indeed, with a big BUT: you don't want to overvalue loyalty in respect of competence. You don't want to have a boss that is not good but "is here since forever".

Instead, reward them economically. Everytime the company takes a leap forward, make clear to them that they were important for the process, and share some profit.

And make clear that being important in a moment doesn't automatically mean they will be important in the future: they will have to compete on results, like everyone else.

How come such kind of content is never promoting equality, fair salary, worker rights, wealth redistribution?

I kinda feel it's victim blaming.

You have an entire system built around laws, companies and education that consistently targets your attention (and your wallet).

But hey, if you fall in the trap it's because you lack values.

AI is not replacing workers. Companies are. Thus what about taxing company profits?

Maybe "best ever" is too bold, but both proven efficacy and mainstream popularity for over 15 years, without being a bulky thing everybody just accept (like vscode), I don't see many other software examples.

Anyway, sorry for triggering you with the first bold statement! I actually wanted to emphasize the curiosity over jj.

I consider git the best software ever written. I used to work with some other SVCs, and I cannot thinking on leaving git now. Somehow, I feel it like a limitation for my mind.

I'm following this Jujutsu project, I'm genuinely curious to see what it can bring to the SVC scene.

Can't wait for lawmakers to get a red CI before merging ;)

Jokes aside, I'm trying to imagine what a pull request workflow would be for law making.

For example, there might be a test that checks that a law has adequate budget before applying it; or to get an error if it conflicts with another law.

Also (Italian here), I would be very happy to do "git blame" and discover who actually introduced a modification.
