I used to think this too!
> Are you perhaps insecure about your own race?

lol fuck yourself. You have no idea of my race or background.

So true, to you and others that think this way, it's all true - it's truly awful. Please, for the love of god, never visit. Save yourselves.
> Can't believe the sense of entitlement in this thread.

Truly a hot mess of entitlement and extreme laziness/incompetence. I cannot imagine how these people make it through life, let alone their jobs, with these attitudes.

I just cannot imagine going into public and saying, roughly the equivalent of I want free unlimited bandwidth because I'm too lazy to do the very basics of managing my own infra.

> If we had instead simply mirrored everything into a registry at a big cloud provider, we would never have paid docker a cent for the privilege of having unplanned work foisted upon us.

I mean, if one is unwilling to bother to login to docker on their boxes, is this really even an actual option? Hm.

Oh great, so now it's a hidden default that might be different system-to-system. Disjoint from the actual deployment config. Please, dear god, no. I'm sorry, this is a bad idea.

It's just not that hard to go fully qualified.

I would be utterly shocked if there aren't installations of BTCPayServer doing higher volumes. This is such an odd choice for case study. Though I can see many users not wanting to do this type of prose about their business.

`jj edit` is specifically and exclusively for mutating existing commits.

Thus, if you're worried about mutating existing commits, don't use it.

What exactly is so hard to understand here? You're not making the gotcha point you seem to think you are - it's not like it's some common command that is hyper-overloaded and has to be used specially.

Just another example of the usual HN skepticism that isn't even skepticism, it's just smug ignorance. It's so exhausting. But sure, the countless people that keep claiming its the single biggest tool improvement in some time are just idiots? suckers? hype-beasts? making it up? or what?

Like, the irony of you assuming that it must be as convoluted and hard to use as git is just... awesome. I love the Git defenders that literally can't fathom that there is actually a better mental model or simpler tool, and can't even be arsed to try it and see.

I love jj and you could pry it from my cold dead hands but I can't make sense of nearly any of these pictograms. :(

> . when working in git, you often think about the current commit you're on, and amending/making a new commit. with jj, you're actually making "changes" (which are like commits) constantly

I don't know what this means, and it seems like a fairly large misunderstanding.

Er, well, never type `jj edit` and this will never be an issue?

I exclusively move in a jj repo with `jj new` and `jj squash` or `jj squash --to <rev>` as appropriate. I've been using it 8+ hours daily for months and have never, ever even thought of having this issue.
