100% agree because there’s a lot of value in understanding how and why past code was written. It can be used to make better decisions faster around code to write in the future.

E.g., if you’ve ever wondered why code was written in a particular way X instead of Y then you’ll have the context to understand whether X is still relevant or if Y can be adopted.

E.g., easier to prompt AI to write the next commit when it knows all the context behind the current/previous commit’s development process.

But that's not what is in the whole context. The whole context contains a lot of noise and false "thoughts". What the AI needs to do is to document the software project in an efficient manner without duplication. That's not what this tool is doing. I question the value in storing all the crap in git.

This right here is where I feel most concerned

> If you haven’t spent at least $1,000 on tokens today per human engineer, your software factory has room for improvement

Seems to me like if this is true I'm screwed no matter if I want to "embrace" the "AI revolution" or not. No way my manager's going to approve me to blow $1000 a day on tokens, they budgeted $40,000 for our team to explore AI for the entire year.

Let alone from a personal perspective I'm screwed because I don't have $1000 a month in the budget to blow on tokens because of pesky things that also demand financial resources like a mortgage and food.

At this point it seems like damned if I do, damned if I don't. Feels bad man.

May be the point is, that the one engineer replaces 10 engineers by using the dark factory which by definition doesn't need humans.

Sounds amazing, but i would rather be able to run the database locally and use the same in dev as in production. Is this possible?

I've not used Claude Claude yet, but why would it be bad if it gains features that people use? Did people ever complain about Photoshop to have too many features demanding some cognitive load? Excel? Practically every IDE out there? There is a reason people use those tools instead of the plain text editor or paint. It's for power users and people will become power users of AI as well. Some will forever stick to chatgpt and some will use an ever increasing ecosystem of tools.

Before we ask if almost all things old will be rewritten in Rust, we should ask if almost all things new are being written in Rust or other memory-safe languages?

Obviously not. When will that happen? 15 years? Maybe it's generational: How long before developers 'born' into to memory-safe languages as serious choices will be substantially in charge of software development?

I don't know I tend to either come across new tools written in Rust, JavaScript or Python but relatively low amount of C. The times I see some "cargo install xyz" in a git repo of some new tool is definitely noticeable.

I fail to see how it makes it much easier to review a lot of interdependent branches where branch C needs new logic from branch B which needs commits from branch A. Sounds like a nightmare to me.

People should really try to work on trunk.
