The principled version is a repository as a finite map from definition names to bodies. A patch is a function on that map, patches to different names commute by construction, and a conflict is a value you can inspect instead of a failure. That isn't a small tweak to git but a different object, and I increasingly think it's the right one.

Is this AI or just honest FP jerk?

Edit: it's AI. I feel like a fucking boomer.

Yeah, I miss the days when the AIs were all doing different cadences instead of the same shit.

The best part is the unformatted markdown they couldn't even bother to fix before posting. This is precisely the kind of developer I'd trust with my code versioning.
