  • Well, sure. scp -r source target works with git too. And pretty much everything if you have/want filesystem as your access point.

    Appreciate learning about fossil, but switching all my stuff to a different VCS entirely is overkill, and I can’t see it doing anything easier, simpler or better than git. Especially if I want to make it easy for others to depend on my stuff.



















  • Yeah I don’t think we actually disagree much here. :)

    I think my angle is just slightly different? I see that ease of access (eg cloud) make it possible for a lot more uncurious and clock-out people to enter the field and pass as competent. To be honest, even the modest introduction of auto-formatting editors are easy to see as good and useful, but I also feel that they allowed shoddy work to look passable at first glance. AI will make this a lot worse.

    But as for the actual people who have it in them to be competent, people that were always there and still are, cloud is not going to make them worse.
