Presumably if it knows it needs to perform multiple searches in order to gather information (e.g. searching for redundant implementations of an algorithm, plus calls to the codebase's canonical implementation) it should be able to run those searches in parallel grep calls.

I'm trying to figure that one out.

LLMs are inherently single-threaded in how they ingest and produce info. So, as far as I can gather from the description, either it spawns sub-agents, or it has a tool dedicated for the job.

Woahhhhh I missed this. Got a reference or link? My Googling is failing me. That's my biggest complaint about Github coming from Gerrit for Open Stack.

not op but I think from https://x.com/jaredpalmer/status/1980619222918262842

https://x.com/jaredpalmer/status/1999525369725215106?s=20 There is also a concept art (not sure if it is an actual prototype)

I guess this makes sense Github announced they are gonna bring stacked PRs this year so I think that kinda makes Graphite obsolute.

Do you have confidence they can execute?

I mean this is not a new problem to solve. Git itsels is perfect for this and Gerrit has been doing this for years. So yeah I think they can execute

So is "company X is being bought by company Y" dirty language now?

Is corporate English becoming a form of newspeak and will significantly diverge from regular English over the next 100 years?

How does company X dependant on company Y product beat company Y in what is essentially just small UI differences? Can cursor even do anything that vscode can't right now?

> Can cursor even do anything that vscode can't right now? Right now VSCode can do things that Cursor cannot, but mostly because of the market place. If Cursor invests money into the actual IDE part of the product I can see them eclipsing Microsoft at the game. They definitely have the momentum. But at least some of the folks I follow on Twitter that were die-hard Cursor users have moved back to VSCode for a variety…

How is Microsoft mismanaging things?

Hi all! Graphite cofounder Greg here - happy to help answer questions. To preempt one: I’ve been asked a few times so far why we decided to join. Personally, I work on Graphite for two reasons. 1) I love working with kind, smart, intense teammates. I want to be surrounded by folks who I look up to and who energize me. 2) I want to build bleeding-edge dev tools that move the whole industry forward. I have so much resp…

If my company has an existing Cursor subscription, can we get Graphite for free?

Not immediately - but I'm sure we'll find ways to bring the two products closer together over time :)

As someone who loves all the non-AI portions of Graphite (the CLI and the reviewer UI) should I be worried about this acquisition? Or will the CLI and Reviewer Ui continue to be be maintained and improved?

No concerns! The plan is to maintain and improve both

I'm really used to my Graphite workflow and I can't imagine going without it anymore. An acquisition like this is normally not good news for the product.

Don't worry - we're not going anywhere. The goal is to continue building and maintaining the product.

I really wanted to give them a try actually, now I definitely won’t.

Any ways I could convince you to?
