Agent scale is definitely on the mind around industry, I wonder what github folks would say in response to https://www.anthropic.com/research/redesigning-source-contro.... It's an interesting read to step back and consider source control from first principles and rebalance the tradeoffs for what qualities matter in this new regime.

Thousands of changes per day means no human reads all these changes.

There're really security issues, and a black box creates black boxes.

There are not, because humans are where the light shines out of in this analogy.

Have you met a human before? Are they totally arbitrary? If not they are not black boxes. I’m getting a bit tired of this equivocation. We are all 99.999% the same.

There is no "industry" anymore, and "Claude prompter" is not a job description.
