New in git-branchless v0.7.0: format all commits in a stack with `git test fix`: see github.com/arxanas/git-branc…. Unlike `git rebase`, it supports running in parallel, with no possibility of merge conflicts.

Started work at my new company, which is the first entity I've ever seen to actually use Git notes 👀. They store global revision numbering and build metadata.

New blog post: "Improving incremental test times in Rust" blog.waleedkhan.name/rust-in… #rustlang

I constantly find code that `rustfmt` silently stops formatting because its containing expression was too complex — and the option that would warn me (`error_on_line_overflow`) is unstable. I will not extract the lambda to `thread::scope` just because `rustfmt` is too scared 😤.
