Sorry if it seems like dumb question, I did google it but it makes 0 sense to me. I’m only just getting into cars and someone mentioned something called shift assist.
The message they sent for context if that helps:
> Well driving standard now is way easier than when I was younger lol apparently they have shift assist so you don’t stall as easily or something like that
Edit: thank you everyone for all the answers! As a baby car enthusiast, I really appreciate and am enjoying the variety of answers I’ve gotten. I’ve learnt a lot already and it hasn’t even been 24 hours.

Probably they don’t actually mean shift assist (someone else already explained what that is) but synchronized gears.

Before that, you had to manually match the speed of the engine to the speed of the wheels/gear while the clutch was engaged, which sucked. But not for cars built in the last 50 years or more.
