Thought I'd see how Logseq's Big DB Rewrite is going and – fucking hell.

Thought I'd see how Logseq's Big DB Rewrite is going and – fucking hell.

I mean, fu– I mean good on them for keeping up the work for this long but 5k unmerged commits smells like a lot of untested assumptions.

@randomgeek I recently merged a 53 commit branch at work and everyone braced for impact.

[randomgeek@hackers.town]

@onelson My understanding is this will basically replace the main branch, but yeah I have flashbacks to too-big branches that were trivial in comparison.

[onelson@mastodon.social]

@randomgeek truthfully though, how many of those commits are adding tests for the rest of the new code? How many tests were already in place to verify things at a black box level? Maybe this isn't as scary as it looks on paper.

@onelson honestly I don't know Clojure(script) well enough to judge.

An interesting opportunity to learn, though!
