Thanks for the reply Steve - I think it's only natural, and charitably unintentional :) But almost everything I've seen upvoted around the Internet from you has been about jj and being directly tied to east river source control... I think that's a reasonable framing. I can only hope me signalling this maybe changes something. While I'm not a fan of jj (I'd much rather Pijul were to eat the world), I think you as a person is really nice and always have been "for the community", but I can't shake this current framing!

I mean, most people seem to think I solely post about AI these days, so it’s kinda funny to run into someone that feels otherwise!

I’m not sure why I’d stop posting about a project I’ve been passionate about for years, just because my job is adjacent to it.

You can't say it's adjacent to it, when your job directly involves the technology. You'd stop posting because anything you say about jj could be interpreted as a sales pitch for jj, and a lot of people can be turned off by that. That's one reason. Our lack of creativity is not proof of no more.

But I don't think "stop writing" is the only strategy to jump on...

Or maybe I'm just extremely unlucky to have only caught these kinds of posts and gained this framing! Totally possible.
