I see correlation instead. You IPO when you grow like crazy. You build something like scion when you grow like crazy.

And I think Not Invented Here has turned into Not Invented By Our Agents at many places.

    Devil’s advocate: This could turn out to be a good thing for software security. If each company’s stack is home grown, there will still be vulnerabilities (probably even more of them) but they’ll be less portable compared to today’s monoculture where an exploit for a common component will work almost anywhere.

      The generation process will be the monoculture. "Oh, model X generates a ton of code with vulnerability Y."

      except, once you get real analysis on open models, you're likely going to see the same insecurities everywhere because the models have blind spots. The same blind spots. The reason distillation works so well is because of the shared nature of their training corpus.

I remain unconvinced that they even need a new VCS to achieve what they want to. One has to wonder what the level of churn is at this number of PRs.

    Who cares about your opinions about what number of PRs is right? They want to make more PRs (particularly to a monorepo), they need a new VCS.

    Even if they weren't making a lot of PRs, Github has been melting down enough this year that they've probably encouraged customers like Anthropic to move off.

      I was casting doubt on whether or not they need a new VCS to achieve their goal in the first place, not providing an opinion about the "right" number of PRs. Like most things coming out of these labs it's hard not to look at it as marketing. Their "changes merged per day" is absolutely meaningless unless you know the nature of those changes. I could make a graph like this by making tons of agent-based empty commits. That's not a problem that actually needs a solution, though. Furthermore, they _didn't even build a new VCS_, they copied one that existed and made a bunch of noise about it.
