Anthropic is bragging about rolling their own from-scratch in-house version control system because git couldn't keep up with their 30,000 commits per day, and it doesn't seem to occur to them for a nanosecond that they are not fixing the actual problem in their engineering practices but making it exponentially worse
@0xabad1dea I know that is a very unpopular opinion on Mastodon, but this makes perfect sense. As we move from human-driven to AI-driven software development, many of our assumptions about what constitutes clean software development practices will have to change, i.e. adapt to new bottlenecks and characteristics. Whether moving to thousands of concurrent commits is one such change, I do not know, but it is definitely within the realm of possibility and should, in my mind, not immediately be discounted.
