Ugh, let's take a step back and make a distinction:

I don't need your fluff. No one cares how you arrived writing another crud line to save an object to database or sent yet another AJAX call.

If you wrote some genuine great compression algorithm that's a different take on compression, I would like to see step by step reasoning and eventual dead ends.

I shared my thoughts in the context of someone saying that one should be able to share your line of thinking when asked to. Whether "when one asked to" applies to keystroke by keystroke blockhained versioning isn't my point of discussion.

I get it, that the overall discussion is about DeltaDB. I'd say interesting concept to toy with. I'd pay more attention to "micro commits" as the idea more than the keylogger.

why this particular object though?

why didn't you add these three other parameters to it?

how does this default value make sense when unset?

mostly things that end up not-in-the-commit that 3 years from now people are gonna wonder about is really handy to know

I strongly doubt that.

I think a good argument ad absurdum for this is to look at how some recipe sites give the entire genealogical history of the author and an anecdote about how their gammy met Theodore Roosevelt and he stole her pen. Three pages later I discover I need to go to the grocery store because the recipe requires sour cream. And the store is closed so I need a different recipe.

Don't fucking do that. Do something way less than halfway to that line.

Agree on the software case. Disagree about the recipes.

Food writing is its own genre where the recipe is one part of a larger story. Can often include travel stories as well.

Maybe not your thing. But definitely has its place.

Can we agree that recipe writing should not be applied to software? That's the point I was going for (hence the ad absurdum header)
