alt Hacker NewsThe elephant in the room is that I haven't had to do something complicated and manual in git by hand in a long while. I'm using AI to generate code, and further, having it commit to git and pushing and pulling and managing branches and merging for me. So for people new to software development, they can also just ask AI to deal with git, which papers over the harder parts of its UX.

This. I feel jj is some years too late.
It tries to solve a human problem in an LLM era.
LLMs are destined to overcome humans in code merging and change versioning (already did for me).
There's little point to introducing yet another layer of indirection when LLMs just cut to the chase.

You can definitely get stuck in a weird place with git that I haven't run into in the same extent with jj. The ability to undo anything with the one 'jj undo' command is awesome in the agent coding world when it makes a mistake.
