I hate everything about this:

@monsieuricon The correct response to this mail is 'No.' with no further follow up

@monsieuricon we worked on some scaling improvements for large git repos at twitter which we weren't able to open source in time before the team was dismantled. would have been so cool if anyone was interested in investing in fundamental tech like git but reading this of course it's not even scaling it's literally just adding bullshit to make it harder for real people to use

@monsieuricon Why don’t the AI come up with the solution :-D, it should be replacing humans in coding right now…

After all the AGI will be here … check notes … in 2024, 2025, 2026, before 2026, 2028, in next four or five years, 2028 to 2043, 2028 to 2053, not before 2026…

@monsieuricon "skybuck flying" sounds like the setup to an SNL sketch...

@brauner @monsieuricon yeah the name made me think maybe it‘s parody?

@monsieuricon This has to be satire right?

@monsieuricon can't they fuck up another vcs and fuck off

@ljs @monsieuricon More like:

"Supercharged, overloaded, No!"

@monsieuricon And I find it hard to avoid the suspicion that that mail was generated by an LLM prompt: "Write an email to the git mailing list proposing some improvements that can be made in the age of AI"

@monsieuricon God it actually disgusts me reading this canned stilted way that AI writes with metaphors and quirky writing that make no sense to a human.

With thousands of agents updating stuff 24/7, merge conflicts become a cosmic horror.

I want to explode...

@ljs @monsieuricon corpo powerpoint bullet format -> ai slop

@monsieuricon no reply though, let it be forgotten.

@monsieuricon one would think they could use AI to write a VCS that meets their needs

@semiprime I'm 100% sure this is what happened. The triple-dash bullet points, the emdash in the closing and the phrasing screams LLM-generated content.

@monsieuricon As soon as I hit the “challenges we’re facing” header and those bullet points I immediately realized right, an LLM wrote this

@mxey @brauner @monsieuricon Someone by the same name used to pester comp.arch (and probably other newsgroups) with reams of similar blather; looks like the demise of usenet has forced them to find a new outlet, though now sadly they have much more powerful tools at their disposal for generating voluminous drivel.

@ljs @monsieuricon Correct answer is "doesn't AI write better and faster code than humans? Just vibe code a new rcs"

@monsieuricon
> Git’s architecture is rock solid for human developers

Alright, being useful for humans is the main goal and it is a pretty decent goal. So if git already achieves that (which it only partially does, but little does the sender of this email know), there is no reason to change anything. Thanks for pointing this out, the rest of the mail is AI slop garbage and can be disregarded.

@monsieuricon This reminds me of Java projects last decade accumulating millions of lines of generated-then-modified code, far more than text editors and IDEs could handle... so they created Eclipse to have an editor that scaled to project sizes no human could read through in a lifetime.

@monsieuricon a simple reply to the user "No."
