> I consider git the best software ever written.

How so? I worked with Git all my professional life and I can't deny its efficacy. However, I would not call it un-improvable given all types of corner case issues I have had with it over the years.

Maybe "best ever" is too bold, but both proven efficacy and mainstream popularity for over 15 years, without being a bulky thing everybody just accept (like vscode), I don't see many other software examples.

Anyway, sorry for triggering you with the first bold statement! I actually wanted to emphasize the curiosity over jj.

Do you imagine someone to be triggered any time they correct you? Like, a sort of trigger you respond with whether accurate or not?

Found myself resonating with this a lot. Food for thought.

Thanks for the comment.

Git isn't bulky in terms of RAM usage but it is bulky in terms of mental capacity that has to be allocated to it.

People does not have to be triggered to ask follow up questions. Its ok to even ask a challenging question as a response of a statement, without being an indication of their mood.

Not triggered at all, I was just asking a curious question :-)
