That was very fun and interesting. I'd be interested in your "dilemmas" for choice inspiration. I can only think of different kinds of violence like threats, robbery and slavery.
regarding the non-random ids: I had this issue with uuids. Now I have "Never write your own ids. Always use uuidgen to generate real ones" in my AGENTS.md and haven't had this issue for a long time now.
Would you be willing to give a rough outline of one or a few test cases? I am having a bit of a hard time imagining what and how you are testing. Is it like "change the signature of function X in file @Y to take parameter Z" and then comparing the result with what you expect?
The author writes that these hashes are 2 or 3 characters long. I assume depending on the line count. That's good for almost 48k lines. You have other issues then.
I use it (with jj but should be the same with git). It tells Claude to commit after every Write tool use. It's a bit to small steps but I then usually just squash them afterwards. I haven't yet found a good automatic heuristic for when to tell Claude to commit (or directly auto-commit, but I like that Claude writes the commit message)
I don't understand what you mean by "outdated form factors". Are you saying that the laptop is an outdated form factor? What "market realities" are you noticing? Really interested in your viewpoint and would be grateful for some clarification.
also just to add that I've noticed that `jj` comes way easier and more intuitive to newbies I've mentored. Just yesterday I told a friend to commit his changes and he just wanted to do `git commit` (without remembering to do `git add` first). This made me realize we should just install `jujutsu` for him and he's been committing very diligently afterwards. Can recommend trying this with any people you mentor/teach.
The compatibility with git is the whole reason it's so popular (just run `jj git init --colocate` in your git repo).
You can use it without forcing your collaborators to switch from git and you can use it will a git forges as well.
