But this is anecdotal. It’s a team of senior devs who already knew the codebase well. We have a ton of detailed guidelines that make sure it’s writing code we deem acceptable. We review each others code, and get LLMs to review, a LOT.

Redescribe, reorder, split, squash, abandon commits is trivial.

Auto-rebasing is fantastic, fix a conflict once and not have to keep correcting.

You can rebase individual commits, ranges of commits, etc. You can also rebase trees I.e. forking branches with a common ancestor, with a single command.

The operation log also makes it feel super safe. You can always undo a jj operation or restore to a past state

So I'm a little unclear as to benefit of this. It sounds...wasteful?

There’s also other brands of cream cheese.
