I'm not the hot shot. The hot shots are all the kids from Berkeley and Stanford who figure this shit out as interns while supposedly fully-trained engineers with all the knowledge of data structures that should come with that think this shit is too hard.

I think I'd be completely unsurprised to see an intern successfully use `rerere` on a longer project of theirs.

I know of teenagers who happily use git because nobody ever told them they were supposed to consider it hard.
This is exactly what I’ve seen. Thank you for validating that viewpoint. Without being told they’re going to find it hard, they just rapidly build a model of how to interact with the tool and how it improves their life.
