This is a good example of why you shouldn't listen to the Hacker News peanut gallery, because it is about as silly as you originally implied it was; a tiny bit of documentation reading will let you know you can check out as many worktrees into different directories as you like.
I would advise you to instead eliminate class prejudice from your writing. A common type of class prejudicial remark programmers make is sniping at "spreadsheets", i.e., the programming tools of the outgroup not initiated into nonsensical programmer esoterica, aren't those nonprogrammers benighted and silly? But really, spreadsheets are so valuable to them because they're one of the only ways they can tell a computer (a machine that ostensibly serves them) what to do without interacting with the priesthood.
But you shouldn't listen to me either. I'm just some fucking moron on a website. Please understand this.
