Honestly this article seems like a really good ad for not trying/using jj.

I cannot believe how ironically confusing it sounds to use, given that they claim it is "designed from the ground up to be easy to use".

I don't remember my first steps with subversion, mercurial, or git too well, but I don't think any of them were any more intuitive. My understanding is that jj is supposed to be easier to use for day-to-day version control. I'm very comfortable with git, but that was hard earned and I don't see that level of confidence with most devs that I've worked with over the years. Hoping jj can be more accessible to the average working software engineer than git has been.

The author should provide more context around this article. From the title I assumed this was about software solution design, like architecture or something. But reading through the article I get the impression the author is referring to UI design (still not 100% sure though).

The core advice of the article seems relevant and useful to both of those types of design.

Great article -- I'm going set aside some time with a notebook and pencil today and give this a try.

I'm not sure I agree with the left brain/right brain, analytical and logical vs creative and emotional dichotomy. I think good design work can be just as analytical as it is creative. I think it has to be when it comes to UI and UX.

I have this same issue, and the same with `jq` and `GNU Parallel`.

When you need them you need them, and nothing else quite works, but I have to re-learn them every time.

I outsource most of my esoteric `jq` syntax questions to ChatGPT. It does really well with them, usually turning up solutions that I'd struggle to munge together from several different google search results.

I wonder how ChatGPT would do with focussed pandoc requests.
