GitHub is not agent scale.
Multiple companies are trying to create new versioning primitives/architectures which can handle machine-level code generation - 1 commit per second per repo.
It's like switching from horse buggies to automobiles, the whole worlds needs re-architecturing to handle the new load.
The age of boutique hand-coding is being replaced by the age of industrial software factories.
- julianlam 5mo agoWhy the heck would you want to do this. Using git as your undo chain sounds like a pretty awful thing to do.
- dpkirchner 5mo agoI think it'd be pretty neat to be able to rebase my undo history on to a remote branch someone else is working on.
- fapjacks 5mo agoThis is smart but also hilarious.
- andyjohnson0 5mo ago> GitHub is not agent scale. Is the scaling issue with git or github?
- skinfaxi 5mo agoThis seems odd to me. Why would you need to commit every second?
- gedy 5mo agoAnd push to remote as well? Seems not thought out
- swiftcoder 5mo ago> new versioning primitives/architectures which can handle machine-level code generation - 1 commit per second per repo. This is not a particularly novel level of scale. Facebook's mercurial backend had to handle >5,000 developers committing to the singular monorepo long before LLMs were a thing
- KptMarchewa 5mo agoYes, on a single repo. Now multiply that per bazillion companies on github, some of which are trying that.
