new git work at @OpenAI. packfile-uri concurrency fixes now in upstream. 20 more patches in openai/git’s status work (still only our fork, but stay tuned), + better partial-clone maintenance and tracing. openai-git-upstream.openai.c… & github.com/openai/git see you at git merge

the world's very best programmers are still not on this website; or if they are, they are posting photos of mountains, or blurry photos of the balkans, or a complaint about a Python Enhancement Proposal from 2011

many years ago, this was long before large language models, a new grad came to me for advice. i said then, same as I would say now: when you’re at Olive Garden, slip the maitre’d a $10, and watch as the best table comes to you.

contribution graph was a nightmare to maintain bc it needed spinning disks; & invalidating its redis cache on push was a punitive exercise in systems design. socially, it mixed up impact with volume. but it is helping insurance marketing tho now; so who is to say if good or bad!

happy friday we've continued our work on git here at @openai. performance, correctness, & testing improvements are flowing from openai/git to upstream. perf improvements in codex app too; you'll see more efficient use of git in new builds. follow along: openai-git-upstream.openai.c…

our work on git will go to upstream, in the C programming language, so long as they are useful generally. so, a public fork.

the fact git has lasted this long (20+ years) is bonkers. statistically, something you wouldn’t expect to see in your lifetime. the messi of software. a testament to good engineering practices. an extremely careful set of maintainers & most of all: the C programming language.

was asked today what’s a good first programming language. I always answer python, since it’s practical, but realized today that doesn’t matter in the same way now. didn’t have a great answer. but after awhile, said, honestly: Lisp. almost had an existential crisis.

in technical discussion, the phrase “that’s fair” is the highest praise there is.

salvatore points the right way, as usual. we are in a transitional era. in an era like this, things will be weird! half-done things. the twilight of an era. this has happened before, in the early renaissance.

Replying to @tnm @jorandirkgreef @curlykoder
There are projects where I don't look anymore at the code at all, but only control the design ideas and the "product" itself (DS4). There are other stuff where I check every line and modify (mostly saying how and not myself, sometimes myself) every detail, like for Redis Arrays. Let's say that for 80% of the projects to check the code no longer makes sense, but checking the ideas / algorithms / code structure even only by prompting is, I believe, a good idea. While providing the right design decisions is not just a good idea, it is essential to do great work.
