does trivially working on 3 PRs in a single checkout and pushing focused changes to each one independently without thinking twice count?

if you don't need this, you might not see any value in jj and that's ok. you might use magit to get the same workflow (maybe? haven't used magit personally) and that's also ok.

It might count, but it is easy with git as well, what is the feature in jj that makes this easier? Switching branches and pushing changes to remotes is the core feature of git and in my opinion really easy so I'm curious how jj improves on it.

Guess he was talking about the presentation, not what the tool can achieve. It has no hard proof on the first page, which could easily just be a LinkedIn pitch, but not on hackernews

Can you show how you would do this in jj?

I know how I would do this in git, but don't really see how this would be in jj. I currently don't use it in my workflow, but if it is super easy in jj then I could see myself switching.

Actually it is a anti-demo, because while software allows you to do it, I don't think many software engineers can work on this.
