I recently became a dad, and right now the only way my 30-day-old will sleep is with the sound of our kitchen range hood, so I built a small one pager that mimics white noise, womb sounds and our range hood. I hope I don't jinx this but works good so far.

Ah, hardware products.

Can you explain why it makes a difference what the answers are?

When using an open source library assumptions should be:

- The code does what it advertises.

- The owner is responsible for the functionality.

- The owner's reputation is based on the quality.

You're making it sound that you're more sure for the above when the code is "hand-written" than LLM-driven. Why exactly? Do you tend to deeply understand the strengths and limitations of every coder whose software you're using in your projects?

As long as the owner is responsible for the quality of a project why does it matter how it was executed?

This is mainly why I'm asking for data from Facebook. I've seen claims that their vcs operations (at least the most common ones) are near instant, but nothing official. It would appear that FB have solved the responsiveness problem with Mercurial but, again, no official data to back it up.

19 seconds for a commit (add + commit) might be long but the new improvements look promising (down to ~10s).

(Please correct me if the COMMIT column in the perf table includes the staging operations.)

This looks awesome. I just wish Facebook would also share some perf and time statistics on their own extensions for Mercurial, last time I checked their graphs were unitless.
