Re:We've raised $17M to build what comes after Git on Friday April 10, 2026 @01:02PM (#47720931)
I've been using gitbutler since 09/24. It was the first git GUI I preferred over the command line. Being able to separate local changes into separate branches, drag missed changes into a past commit, etc. made tidy development so much easier. It is a great tool and the hate here is wild. However, I find it less useful when agents code for me. The surgical changes GitButler made so easy became less relevant as agents touch so many files at once. Have you found the same? Whats your vision for how GitButler will make agentic coding better in the way it did human coding? Does it move away from the UI you have now to something else? Does the UI get relegated and it becomes a tool the agent controls? (I liked the agent integration but it didn't feel like an improvement over using codex/CC so I went back to using them directly)

Good for the TBPN team! I think their genius wasn't in having the best info, it was that they made tech people feel like celebrities.
Thanks for the advice. I went with the 7 days and posted it today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47309924
ha I suppose that's one way of thinking about it. There is a human, they've done interviews talking about how the business runs itself...

Ask HN: How to report a vulnerability when AI answers the company email?

I noticed a vibe coded app exposes user chats and details about the user identities. The app user base is growing. The issue would be fast to fix as doesn't require an exploit, it's just a dumb AI coded mistake.I emailed them, but AI responds saying it will raise it internally and when DM'ing the team on X I got no response.The AI that responded to my email has not fixed it.What should I do?Do...
