Why go back to a centralized model at all. Guess which project isn’t suffering in this whole debacle of GitHub? The one git was made for of course.

at this point, s3 just means object storage and doesnt mean it actually has to be hosted on aws. theres plenty of other companies that provide s3 compatible storage apis.
APIs, sure, but do they provide the semi-magical consistency, atomicity, durability, and latency guarantees that this depends on?
you forgot the bandwidth pricing lile its 2006!

#113It’s hard to overstate the reputation of the author of this post. Everything good about GitHub’s internal systems seemed to have his name all over it (I realize that today this statement hits different than a few years ago). Our times at GH didn’t overlap much but hearing the fact that he’s working at cursor increases my estimation of their engineering org by leaps and bounds.
The biggest, richest companies in the world are hiring top talent. Who woulda guessed.
We're talking about MSFT here. I think they can afford whatever Cursor can. They're just not taking reliability seriously.

Free git is unsustainable due to AI
I can't disagree with this in the current state. But I believe it would be easy to fix with limitation for the free accounts (CI time limit, total size of repo limit etc.)
I don't think vibe coders care for CI limit. And if you put repo limit they can just tell Claude "make sure to optimize for restrictions"

thanks for the comment ! will read that now
however whether or not this improves their team - who knows! team dynamics is a hard thing to achieve, not just throwing good people in the same bucket ..

#116The problem is that Musk acquired Cursor and therefore Cursor has zero credibility. I don't care about what they say because of who they sold out to

If he has such a good reputation, why doesn't he write well? He never actually introduces the point of the article, he merely alludes to it in the concluding paragraphs.
Seems well written to me.

Author or not - I just get a shitty machine translation of the original post into German. This is so annoying, machine translated stuff is much harder to read than the original English.
Oh, and yes the preferred language in my browser is set to English.

It’s a different game. If you’ve got tonnes of employees you have to think about how all the other employees view comp fairness.
Every large co runs into this problem. New cos have fewer obstacles to paying more… until they get big.
