A good honest bake. Not flashy, but you'll finish the whole bagel.
Summary
The article discusses how the jujutsu version control system (jj) helps developers overcome "Git rigour fatigue" — the exhaustion of trying to maintain perfectly structured, review-friendly commits in Git. The author explains that jj's working-copy-as-a-commit model and automatic rebasing make it easier to iterate on code without worrying about commit history, allowing developers to restructure changes after the fact. This reduces the cognitive overhead of maintaining clean commits during development while still producing a clean history for code review.
