Jujutsu support in Reviewboard (reviews.reviewboard.org)

We were considering migrating repos at $JOB to Jujutsu, but the lack of support in Reviewboard was a showstopper. I guess we have no excuse now. Comments

I found this RFC referenced in the docs of a web framework (Litestar; https://docs.litestar.dev/latest/usage/plugins/problem_details.html), and found it to be an interesting take on error handling. It reminds me of an all job where the rule was that all user-visible errors must have proper documentation and instructions for the user on how to go about resolving them (even if often the solution was to contact your admin). I think the idea can apply not just to HTTP APIs. I prefer it to generic exceptions that usually describe only the immediate error (some file not found let’s say) but don’t provide enough context about where the incorrect inputs are coming from and how to resolve the issue.

Just thinking out loud. If not for a gazillion other reasons, a recent outage from Postman should remind us again why proper design decisions matter in devtools. API workflows shouldn’t live in the cloud. A LOT of devtools shouldn’t live in the cloud. Some tools can’t work without it, all good. But a whole lot of them are there just because of some poor design choices. Yet…

No cloud? No outage.

No cloud? No sync issues.

No cloud? No data security gaps.

So why keep forcing it where it doesn’t belong? And it’s not even just the cloud. Cloud is awesome for some stuff. SaaS-like designs are dragging devtools into the same trap. As a matter of fact, devtools in general shouldn’t feel like SaaS platforms. Unless we’re going through app usage dashboards - tabs, and mouse actions are not built for devs. Devtools should prioritize developer control, not just pay-per-seat subscriptions. P.S. No need to send me Postman alternatives. I already work on building an awesome one, but chose not to promote it in this post.
