Re: Ex-GitHub CEO launches a new developer platform for AI agents
#122I had a similar, admitted poorly thought out idea a few months back.
I wanted to more or less build Jira for agents and track the context there.
If I had to guess 60 million is just enough to build the POC out. I don't see how this can compete though, Open AI or Anthro could easily spin up a competitor internally.

Shouldn't this tool be agnostic to the models? Seems like a 3rd party is the way to go.

#124Really struggling to figure out what this is at a glance. Buried in the text is this line which I think is the tl;dr: "As a result, every change can now be traced back not only to a diff, but to the reasoning that produced it." This is a good idea, but I just don't see how you build an entire platform around this. This feels like a feature that should be added to GitHub. Something to see in the existing PR workflow.…
Github sucks now, for one; people are looking for an alternative.
This is not an alternative to GitHub though. The code for this tool itself lives on GitHub!

#125List of Github CEOs:
1. Tom Preston-Werner (Co-founder). 2008 – 2014 (Out for, eh... look it up)
2. Chris Wanstrath (Co-founder). 2014 – 2018
(2018: Acquisition by Microsoft: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17227286)
3. Nat Friedman (Gnome/Ximian/Microsoft). 2018 – 2021
4. Thomas Dohmke (Founder of HockeyApp, some A/B testing thing, acquired by Microsoft in 2014). 2021 - 2025
There is no Github CEO now, it's just a team/org in Microsoft. (https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/)

#126Either the models are good and this sort of platform gets swept away, or they aren’t, and this sort of platform gets swept away.

Isn't that basically what things like this are for, open source, free.... https://github.com/steveyegge/beads

#128I don't want agent context tied to git commits. I just want infinite scroll in Claude Code and ability to search and review all my past conversations!
Re: Ex-GitHub CEO launches a new developer platform for AI agents
#129I’m manually checking in Agent.md for every commit to improve the context window usage. Is that now automated?
Re: Ex-GitHub CEO launches a new developer platform for AI agents
#130>CLI to tie agent context into Git on every push.
Is this the product? I don't want to jump on the detractor wagon, but I read the post and watched the video, and all I gathered is that it dumps the context into the commit. I already do this.
