Last night in bed, I realised we’d encountered a scenario at work during the day where something happened so fluidly in jujutsu that it’d make a good case story! Let’s compare, step by step, how it’d look with git. The stage is set: you’re working on a big, old, legacy codebase, and you’re 10 commits deep in a branch where you’re adding a new...

I finally got bothered to try jujutsu. It’s often hard to convey just how fast I’m accustomed to moving with git, and so while there are many valid complaints about its interface, object model design, etc., I’m really super fluent with it! So for a long time I was happy to let jujutsu just be a thing people were talking about; simpler or better...

const Control = union(enum) { button: *Controls.Button, menubar: *Controls.Menubar, menu: *Controls.Menu, menu_item: *Controls.MenuItem, editor: *Controls.Editor, fn generation(self: Control) usize { return switch (self) { inline else => |c| c.generation, }; } fn setGeneration(self:...

Raw log from my notes re: Time travel follows. Sae RV32I with some RV32C/refactoring WIP from long ago. The WIP probably feels way too magic for me now, but we should take a look at it. Now uses Niar. TODOs 🔗 ↩ Decombing RV32C and associated refactor Then add RV32E, RV64I? The entire test infra could be so much more robust. M extension A...

The typical hypothetical “who are you coding for” example meant to shock you into writing better code is “yourself in six months”, but it turns out four is completely adequate to get lost. Start 🔗 ↩ In February I started writing my first RV32 core, Sae. By the end of the month, I had enough of one going to run some sample code compiled with GCC...
