Oh man I'm tired. This reminds me of the docker era. It's all moving fast. Everyone's raising money. And 24 months from now it's all consolidating. It's all a nice hype game when you raise the funding but the execution depends on people finding value in your products and tools. I would argue yes many of these things are useful but I'd also argue there's far too much overlap, too many unknowns and too many people trying to reinvent the whole process. And just like the container era I think we're going to see a real race to zero. Where most of the dev tools get open sourced and only a handful of product companies survive, if that. I want to wish everyone the best of luck because I myself have raised money and spent countless years building Dev tools. This is no easy task especially as the landscape is changing. I just think when you raise $60m and announce a cli. You're already dead, you just don't know it. I'm sorry.

Its a shame Pierre shut down. Wish they could have made it work. Github but made by Linear would be a dream.

Pierre didn't shutdown, they said they just paused signups on the code review app to focus on the code storage service. Productizing the building blocks of the platform seems like the smart play in today's environment honestly.

Sure but I dont want to build my own Github I just want to use a beautiful and faster alternative

Checkpoints sounds like an interesting idea, and one I think we'll benefit from if they can make it useful.

I tried a similar(-ish) thing last year at https://github.com/imjasonh/cnotes (a Claude hook to write conversations to git notes) but ended up not getting much out of it. Making it integrated into the experience would have helped, I had a chrome extension to display it in the GitHub UI but even then just stopped using it eventually.

Not sure what it is or what it does.

Uses AI to summarize coding sessions tied to commits.

Commit hook > Background agent summarizes (in a data structure) the work that went into the commit.

Built similar (with a better name) a week ago at a hackathon: https://github.com/eqtylab/y

This guy was the ex-ceo of GitHub and can't bother to communicate his product in a single announcement post?

I am here. What did I not bother with? I wrote the blog post and it has all the details.

Wow, account from 2011 and just two comments, both on this article. Welcome, lurker, and good luck :)
