what's the use case ?
Comment · 1 month ago
So the service is fine .. no downtime, no surprise bills, support works, and the tech is mostly fine. The whole issue is that DigitalOcean sponsored an open-source project led by someone whose politics you don’t like. dig deep enough and you’ll find views you disagree with behind almost every tool, company, repo/dependency you might be using out there. Once that’s the bar, where do you actually draw the line?

And hope it works?

I’m pretty sure many people who use AI to write emails or blog posts add "make it sound like a human wrote it" to their prompts. We all know what the result usually looks like.

If AI is writing my code, I'd rather have it focus purely on correctness and efficiency than on making the code easy to read.

heck! I might even ask it to imitate Arthur Whitney’s style.

Yes. Do the heavy lifting in Claude code , Codex.

Basic tasks in cursor. It's decent and damn fast.

All my team members also use it.

this is bad developer UX ( in my opinion). Please reconsider . I lost interest the moment I was not able to commit using normal git commands.

  ⎿  Error: Exit code 1

     GITBUTLER_ERROR: Cannot commit directly to gitbutler/workspace branch.

     GitButler manages commits on this branch. Please use GitButler to commit your changes:
       - Use the GitButler app to create commits
       - Or run 'but commit' from the command line

     If you want to exit GitButler mode and use normal git:
       - Run 'but teardown' to switch to a regular branch
     … +5 lines (ctrl+o to see all)

but was not installed ( I installed the mac app ) .

I still haven't uninstalled the app and will try to figure out the working model.

Also please offer some skill file or a text I can add to my CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md so that when I ask claude to commit , it will go through gitbutler...( edit: looks like it is there, but the discovery is hard ) .

Agree. I’ve also noticed that feature creep tends to increase when AI is writing most of the code.
