This may be the most important sentence in that announcement:

> expect to be able to bring Mythos-class models to all our customers in the coming weeks.

Just because `jj` wraps around git doesn't mean it cannot have another backend. My comment doesn't imply that it only wraps around `git`. More importantly, the other backend which `jj` offers is (afaik) exclusively used at Google. Unless you are a Googler you will be using `jj` with `git`.

Also, the comment was aimed at a person who is obviously very invested in `git`. I was doing my best to offer them a description of `jj` they could swallow.

PS: pedantic people are annoying.

First of all: you do you and as long as you are happy, I am happy.

`jj` is a tool trying to amplify the strengths of git and strengthen its weaknesses. `git rebase` being just one of the many quirky commands. Yes, `jj` requires some rewiring of your brain, but once you get over the initial bump its pretty slick.

Also, I use `jj` everyday exclusively. And I have written `revsets` like 4 times in total.

oopsie; should have added links.

`jj` is a wrapper around git and offers a much better dev-ex for managing changes.

it has features like:

- conflicts are first class citizens

- `rebase` is the default mode; there is no need for an interactive rebase mode.

- all descendant changes automatically rebase

- a much more intuitive version of `git reflog`. in `jj`, we have `jj op log`

- cheap branching: branches in `jj` are just tags (or bookmarks) that can be moved around

tangled is a really cool project; the most important feature it provides is that it is jujutsu first.

would https://litestream.io/ be a good solution here?

This actually looks very useful. Cloudflare seems to be brining together a great set of tools. Not to mention, D2 is literally the only sqlite-as-a-service solution out there whose reliability is great and free tier limits are generous.

New comment by whereistejas in "GitHub Stacked PRs"

whereistejas — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 08:57:34 +0000

nevermind, I see what's happening in the UI. Each `jj` change is preserved in the UI and we can see multiple versions of the same change. The stack then is not really a stack of PRs but a stack of changes (where each change has its own history, i.e., the interdiff view). Did I get it mostly right?

New comment by whereistejas in "GitHub Stacked PRs"

whereistejas — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 08:53:14 +0000

Each of your stacked PRs only has one commit. Do you have any examples with multiple commits per PR in a stack?

PS: I love the concept of tangled. I currently use `sourcehut` but may soon move to tangled.

Nothing is insurmountable; however each one of us must play within the practical constraints of our local geographies (political, social, financial and physical). The parent comment probably means that Switzerland is in a positive on all axes unlike the rest of the world.

Yes, I basically gave my vim config along with this blog to Claude and it figured out 95% stuff on its own.

New comment by whereistejas in "So where are all the AI apps?"

whereistejas — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 10:07:10 +0000

My take on AI-apps is that now its possible to build apps that we kind of wanted to build, but never did because it was too inconvenient.

I'm stealing this idea from this paragraph [1]: > The book points out that the major value in a flying car (as with supersonic) would not be in taking the same trips you do now, only a bit faster. Instead, it would be in taking the trips you don’t take now, because they’re too inconvenient.
