It's not, you can literally do everything this tool does with Git, and 80% of the features could be replaced with commands in your shell rc file also using vanilla git.

This tool was described perfectly the other day. JJ is the Dvorak of Git. Most people could careless about Dvorak layout, 99.8% of people use qwerty just fine. Those 0.02% though, they're loud, and they want everyone to know how great the reinvention of bread is.


Nearly every package manager does this. You would never get work done if you had to inspect every package. Services like renovate and dependabot do this lifting at no cost to the js developer, and probably do it better.

I've been watching a series on YT that is specifically about rural towns in Texas that are being abandoned or on the brink of total collapse. Much of it has to do with highways and routing around these communities decades ago. I don't know if a datacenter is the answer, but it has to be better then what looks like a post apocalyptic America.

Reviving Radiator Springs with a datacenter! The plot of Cars 4.

Those small towns are often positioned such that even if you plopped a billion dollar datacenter on top of them, it wouldn't change much, as even with second and third order effects it's adding 100-200 total population.


Sounds more difficult then modern web frameworks. We've all done this for little projects, but anything with users or development teams, your method is DOA.

I disagree, most webapps, like 99.9% I would say, are just forms, links, and pages. Meaning, they can be done with 0 reactivity and that is the most simple and straightforward way to do it.

Less code is basically always better, so if you can skip the huge amounts of JS and orchestration required by modern web frameworks, then it will be easy. People are out here using React to render static pages. It's very overkill.


That can't be your measurement when you're loading 3 huge js libraries which are a lot more code then say svelte, which also excels at SSG.

Eh, there’s tradeoffs. They’re real. But I’ve done plenty of this on teams back in the day before all these frameworks and it can absolutely work. It may even be easier now with JS modules.

Looks like the Perl of Git too. Those commands are wild compared to vanilla git.

If a shop tells me they use Atlassian/Jira I see that as a big negative.


I'm retired now, but if I were looking for a job I'd try to find a company not using Atlassian products. In theory you're not supposed to use them as a (micro-) management tool, but companies like to do just that.


I’ve written on this. Jira is a code smell. The only people I’ve ever known who liked it were the people I don’t want to deal with. It’s a dream tool for someone who wants to make a career out of looking busy and inventing process, and a nightmare to everyone else. Its presence in an org tells me, in italic capitals, that this is going to hurt.


Consumers dont care about OSS, most people dont feel enslaved, and the only market share they'll dent is Android/Google. If we're getting more android slop, I'll pass.


I think they just want steer users/developers to CF products, maybe not? It is interesting to see the two platforms. I've moved to svelte, never been a frontend person either but kind of enjoying it actually.


This President isn't doing a good job on really any level. Its not that I want anyone to fail, it's that the President today is currently in a state of failure, and those failures like enriching himself can have long term devastating effects on our society.

How many American Citizens have to be murdered and how many human rights have to be violated before it is a bad job?


Obama managed to deport many without the vitriol or the killing of American citizens. Are you a one issue voter? Just showing a blind eye to everything so long as no brown folks cross into this country?


According to the LA Times, that statistic is misleading: https://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-obama-deportations-2014... (“A closer examination shows that immigrants living illegally in most of the continental U.S. are less likely to be deported today than before Obama came to office, according to immigration data… On the other side of the ledger, the number of people deported at or near the border has gone up — primarily as a result of changing who gets counted in the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency’s deportation statistics.”).

I believe that the premise of the immigration laws is correct—that exceeding certain levels of immigration harms society for various reasons that have nothing to do with protecting sunscreen sales—just as Clinton and Obama claimed to do.

Again, you can disagree with the premise. But my entire life I saw presidential candidates promise to fix this particular problem, and Trump succeeded.


If they were cooked then they're cooked now. "Trump succeeded" remains unsupported by the same logic. Good shot on the googling and 12 year old article though.


No, it’s not the same logic because there’s two different numbers: border crossings versus deportations. Nobody is saying the numbers are “cooked.” Just that you have to understand the methodology to compare Obama and Trump.

The LA Times article explains that the deportations number includes deportations of people who were caught shortly after illegal crossing. During Obama, there were a large number of border crossings. So anyone who got caught shortly after crossing was counted as a deportation. But border crossings dropped to nearly zero under Trump. That drives down the deportation numbers. The low hanging fruit is gone.
