I like pijul's mental model much more but it's a single developer who's slightly prone to getting sidetracked.
We've raised $17M to build what comes after Git

Re: We've raised $17M to build what comes after Git
#432A lot of people seem confused about how they raised the money, but it’s actually a pretty easy VC pitch. - It’s from one of GitHub’s cofounders. - GitHub had a $7.5B exit. - And the story is: AI is completely changing how software gets built, with plenty of proof points already showing up in the billions in revenue being made from things like Claude Code, Cusor, Codex, etc. So the pitch is basically: back the team th…
I watched video to see where my prompts etc are stored in a way that makes sense. But no, this is just a nicer git. We need a solution to all these 10k loc PRs.
Agreed. Although I’m not sure what’s nicer about it. It’s in color. But I failed to understand why I’d want any of those features.

> ... and sort LEGO bricks by colour You never sort by color, ever! You sort by form, and then throw every color of that specific form in one bin. If you throw every red brick in the same bin, you'll never find a specific formed red brick because to many red bricks. But if you first search by form and then by color, you are much faster.
counterpoint (don't take this to seriously): there are to many types of bricks to sort by form. unless you have an inventory the size of a brick factory you can only sort by category or by size. otherwise, sorting by color makes your collection aesthetically pleasing, and when you build, you usually want to use specific colors only to make your model look good.
That's why you have to group similar forms.
- Bricks
- Plates
- Narrow Plates
- Wheels
- Windows/Doors
- Smooth pieces
- People bin
And then if you like to sort further you sort out the smallest of each bin because those always fall to the bottom when mixed together

Re: We've raised $17M to build what comes after Git
#435I feel like I really need to learn how to raise money. For $17M, one could probably build a vacuum robot prototype that’ll also clean up all of the kids toys and sort LEGO bricks by colour and size. Parents worldwide would love it. But instead, we get a replacement for Git. And I didn’t even bother to click the link because I’m fine with how Git works. On the list of pain points in my life, “what comes after Git” has…
Money is not given to good ideas (though, it doesn’t hurt). Money is given to friends . If you look at how VC (or really any network) funding circulates, it’s just people who are allowed to enter that circle and money just flows between them constantly. On one hand, you have trusted people who you are willing to give money, on the other hand, this inherently creates a clique. It reminds me how the Bohemian Club’s slo…
The founder of GitButler is the co-founder of GitHub. It doesn't matter what he builds, the VC is going to throw money at them.

LLMs are major generators of pollution: digital pollution. I wish the companies understood the tremendous cost to society of polluting our well of knowledge. But no, as your mention it is free for them to pollute, so they do liberally
Clearly LLMs are tools which can be used for good or ill. The supplier of raw chemicals to the paint factory isn't really responsible for the river pollution. However you are right to point out there is a problem. Typically societies ( via governments ) try and fix by appropriately pricing the behaviours via regulation/laws ( fines or prison for the people doing it ). However making regulation/laws is hard. What's yo…
Oh it'll fix itself. Nature is like that.
You might hit a moment where a lot of people whose only purpose in life is using Claude Code, um, well, starve. But yeah, nature is metal like that.

It does though.. you don't have agents that can connect to github or wherever your git mirrors are and comment on PRs?
Don't you read the PRs?
Yes, but my agents also do.
The whole concept of PR is that you want additional looks on the code, and multiple agents working adversarially on PRs with philosophical rules are really nice.

#438For a long time I couldn't decide if Git Butler was a real product or a very elaborate joke to get devs to type "but rub" into their terminal.

I like their vision, though, this is compelling to me:
> What if it was easier to for a team to work together than it is to work alone?
It generally _is_ easier to work alone with git. UI and DX experiments feel worthwhile. lazygit and Magit are both widely used and loved, for example, but largely focus on the single user experience.

Not to shoot down your comment with sarcasm, I'm being really honest: I changed my shower gel with an expensive one this week, and it really had an unexpected, exciting effect. Small stuff can really have consequences much bigger than themselves. That said, if you ever decide solve the tidying the toys problem, start a kickstarter, I pledge to pledge support! :D
Some people are not sensitive to quality. A car is a car, a shower gel is a shower gel, etc. In the computer world, they curiously congregate around Microsoft...
