npub1upkp7fd7rc3lrjg23r8gy0wc723vze7mxlx5984ut6zurjzpf5xss4tcwy (npub1upk…tcwy) I wonder if, to me, the “git as diffs” mental model has stuck so much because it’s hard to imagine git being so fast while looking at the whole tree. Of course, I’m sure it’s full of clever optimizations everywhere, but as a mental model it’s hard to keep all that data in mind.
Similarly a merge seems easier to mentally process as diffs.
Love seeing your explorations here and looking forward to the finished zine!
