GitHub has a chance to get a generation of developers on to better coding practices. LLMs make it more feasible than ever to maintain high-quality patch series/stacked diffs — they can take care of all the mundane things like rebase conflicts for you. If I were in charge I would take this responsibility very seriously.

I guess the next best thing would be to port spr to this. (Probably time to start looking at this to be honest!) This makes me quite sad.

Not sure if it makes you feel better, but it seems there's at least a few startups trying to get a jujutsu-native forge going, by people who have seen and used the way Google's (and other big tech's) systems work.

Indeed, and I happened to have been part of the creation story for one of them :) https://lobste.rs/s/ghdv6w/i_see_future_jj#c_nx6flj (not otherwise affiliated, though)

That's really cool! I tried getting on board with ERSC, but the timezone difference proved too much :(. At least it gave me the kick to try and build my own company, though!
