Well done!
git works perfectly well. git is an afterthought. Engineers need to know git the same way they need to know markdown or SQL.
The complexity of git is becoming less relevant by the day as coding agents take over coding responsibilities.
If your git replacement is optimized for LLM use in ways that git cannot be optimized, you may get some traction.
By all conventional measures, git appears to be peak human-centered source control, with nearly every major company, software authoring tool, agent and SWE invested in using it.
This may be one of the reddest oceans out there.
Unfortunately, for common people whose aim is not celebrity, this means handing over your privacy in order to have a voice.
We can do this in our IRL circles of trust, people know you because they have met or interacted with you personally.
Online, this means someone like Zuck creating a digital identity for us after we entrust them with our privacy, or some kind of open source complicated technology identifier like a cryptographically verified signature that is techno bro-free that will only be adopted or understood by tech literate.
It's a dark day for genuine human interaction and trust.
Red Reader still exists.
Keep in mind that the transgenic mouse breeding program used to make lab mice for research got defined because the President claimed Democrats were so woke they were funding "trans" mice research.
Half of what they are doing is virtue signalling and posturing without any real understanding of what they are doing.
The downfall of Waterfall is that there are too many unproven assumptions in too long of a design cycle. You don't get to find out where you were wrong until testing.
If you break a waterfall project into multiple, smaller, iterative Waterfall processes (a sprint-like iteration), and limit the scope of each, you start to realize some of the benefits of Agile while providing a rich context for directing LLM use during development.
Comparing this to agile is missing the point a bit. The goal isn't to replace agile, it's to find a way that brings context and structure to vibe coding to keep the LLM focused.
1. After 60 minutes, it turns into junk? Or is there a reload feature? 2. Is every Christmas home going to have a Chinese-made surveillance station with unknown data collection destinations in their home?
It comes from a study where bats were trapped in a chamber filled with mosquitoes to see how many they could eat.
A comparable experiment would be putting a human in a cage filled with bread crumbs to see how many the human eats.
In our natural habitat, we eat slices of bread and other food. We don't waste the time and energy of consuming bread crumbs unless given no alternative.
Yes, bats can eat mosquitoes, but why bother when there are much larger, nutritious insects to catch with the same effort?
Honestly, there's a dozen other reasons I have no intention of owning a Ford.

IR keyboards lack haptic feedback
Aside from enhancedprivacy, a desire to drain your battery, a lack of recurring revenue for local phone LLMs, and functioning when network is inaccessible, what would a local LLM do that a network-enabled feature couldn't?
If their works are so insignificant to Claude, just remove them from Claude and retrain. It's that simple. Claude is 100% the product of the works that were stolen, just as much as it is the product of the software developers and investors.
All the employees just got a million dollar bonus. The authors spent their entire lives up to the point of publishing each work refining their ideas, investing in education and experiences that allowed them to create their works that were stolen. If the result of that theft is a massive wealth-building AI machine, it makes sense that they should benefit from the ongoing use of their work.
Anthropic had a chance at licensing these works the standard way, and chose to skip it. Do you think the consequences of this should be that under court order they receive money that is likely the same or less than they would have negotiated had Anthropic not stolen from them?
Why would anyone hesitate to steal other publications if their only punishment is that on the off-chamce they get caught, they have to pay what they would have anyway? That's the ridiculous assertion.
> 100-1000x the value of their books
They would be getting 5% the value of their books. Claude without those books is nothing. Take all the books away from Claude and you can understand the true value they contributed.
Perhaps tokenize all of the books and assign proportionally for token count of each publication.
I'm curious if this is a calculated move by startups to preserve equity and get some people going crazy pushing your product forward rapidly.

Don't expect any of this to make sense.
