>>> Philosophically, if I modify a google doc my computer is asking Google for permission to edit the file. (You can tell because if google’s servers say no, I lose my changes.) In comparison, if I git push to github, I’m only notifying github about the change to my code. My repository is mine. I own all the bits, and all the hardware that houses them. This is how I want all my software to work.

I also long for this future. I want all software to work in this manner.

Interesting to know how CRDTs are enabling this, or how the limitations of OTs have restricted development of these tools (although git and GitHub exist regardless)
