nickgreg··on Now is the best time to write code by hand
Couldn't have said it better myself
nickgreg··on We've raised $17M to build what comes after Git
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)
nickgreg··on OpenAI Acquires TBPN
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.

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...
