I had a big feature I was working on. jj made it easy to split it into 21 small commits so I could give reviewers smaller things to review while I continued to work. It wasn't perfect and maybe git can do it all by itself but it's not my experience.

In other words, I effectively was working on one thing, but at a quicker easier pace.



I've been doing this in git for years. Interactive rebasing isn't that scary. At work we have a very big stacked PR culture on github using native git


But in general you are one of the few that does. Many devs do find git rebases scary. Having done it in both I can say with JJ it is much much simpler (especially with jjui).


> I've been doing this in git for years.

You've missed a crucial detail.

You've both been doing it, but only one of you was using a tool that needed rebases to pull it off.
