UUIDv7 (wiki link) is seeing strong and eager adoption as a solution to problems that have long plagued the tech industry, providing a solution for generating collision-free IDs on the backend that could still be sorted chronologically to play nicer with…

Raise your hand if you’ve been here before: you have file1 open in a vim or neovim buffer and you want to “fork” its contents over to file2, but you need to reference file1 while you do so.
