Git

“Now with agents, they're becoming very CLI first. And so this one's kind of obvious to everyone, but you know, what spills out the other side of this is, okay, what that means is that everything is very code first. It's very Git first.”

“Actually the most interesting one is we had one customer that will literally Take the entire code base inside the sandbox and every, I forgot what the time sequence was. They would just dump it all into a JSON and then push that to S three. And that's it.”

“I think the, it's funny, because, like, I think GitHub's original sin is that it's like almost a series of broken pointers. It's like you have essentially this thing, and then you clone it, and then, okay, great, like, I've just lost That whole upstream, right…”

“And I do think that something ultimately outside Git will emerge in terms of how we're going to go into version a lot of these things over time.”

“The models are really great at resolving merge conflicts.”

“Agent first collaboration platform, a bare git repo, a message board designed for a swarm of agents working on the same code base. Think of it like a stripped down GitHub. Where there's no main branches, no main branch, no PRs, no merges, a sprawling DAG of co…”

“Now I will say one, but saying the other thing on the diff thing I'm hearing is that nobody's using Git anymore. They have these like merge bosses that, you know, basically”

“Personally, I think still understanding systems is very important and just having some conception of, like, how, like, Git works, you know, or, like, HTTP, or databases, like, queues, like, all of these different systems. I think that those fundamentals are st…”

“Long context reinforcement learning has been very, very successful in the coding world because Git has a complete history of every line of code that's been written, every comment, why it happened.”

“And so he built this system where it's essentially just watching everything he does all the time. And he'll be talking to a colleague on Slack or an email, and they'll be discussing some feature that they think is useful to implement. And then a few hours late…”

“We've literally had to do this in Chai's history, but we've had to go and bisect Git history. Run launch training runs, you know, with a sort of a binary search to identify a small enough range of pull requests to identify a bug, then go to that, that, that pu…”

“I think it's really difficult to use. I actually really don't like the sidebar and how it chats back with you and how it updates your files. I find it extremely hard to follow and then hard to track, even if you're using Git and trying to maintain state on eve…”

“You might go and try four, five, six different prompts, and you finally get the solution. I'd actually just take that solution, git reset, and then feed that solution into the AI on a clean code base, so you can implement that clean solution without layers and…”

“What's fascinating is that you can seek help from other AIs to get unstuck. And those escape hatches of like actually understanding and seeing the code underneath and even being able to say, okay, now let's use Git, let's turn this into a less, more of a hybri…”

“You can import code bases through zip files, and Git is coming very soon.”

“Show me, open up your computer. I want to see your Git right now. Show me what you committed. Show me your code. Let's discuss that. Did you really build that? Who was it? So I'm just like, I don't care about my questions. I just go bang, bang, bang, bang. I w…”

“I can't stress enough how important this step is for if you're just beginning. I promise you, if you forget to do this, you will waste four hours. If you get deep into a project and you don't save, you will ruin your time. It will ruin a night for you. I guara…”

“I spin up a Docker container. I run the con whatever the model told me the output to do is. I feed the output back into the model. I repeat this many rounds, and I check at the very end, you know, does the git commit history show that it is correctly cherry pi…”

“You have to get no code, low code experiences that read and write code so that code can go through a get PR process and it can have all the same mature stuff built on top of it as any other code.”

“Git and coding environment, remove any possibility to have a meaningful discussion with people coming from the business, just because they won't get into code.”

“The fact that I can take my skill set and have a source controlled pipeline without actually having to learn Git makes all the downstream people on my team's lives so much easier because they know exactly what I did and what I changed and they still get that r…”

“Early stage VCs that I spoke to back in 2016 told me that, like, it wasn't at all clear that data practitioners actually wanted to learn Git.”

“Git has been such a massive trend that's been adopted by Developers universally, and it's become not just their version control system, but their main workflow engine and their main way of collaboration and communication, even in, in issues around Git and so o…”

“I still, I think that we're just in this sort of like transition period from open source practices that worked in like the nineties or early 2000 or whatever, pre-get life and have to like recognize that some things are just not the same anymore.”

“I feel like maybe the Git security model is pretty bad when you compare it to some of the older stuff, but you know, the usability you get out of it is like way, way higher.”
