Show me the 10M internal, please.

Fantastic write up, but I still have doubts. As the author states: Serving git at scale is hard. I can only concur.

I feel like the article is a bit light on the design of the WAL and maintenance operations, but maybe it's me.

Anyway, I'd love to have a friendly chat with the author.

Exactly. I would love to see that design work, but it doesn't for any realistic workload.

If the developer can have a local copy of the monorepo it's not a "large" codebase.

The interesting selling point about this, if the claims are substantial, is that nobody will be able to produce secure software without access to one of these models. Good for them $$$ ^^

Fossil has some really nice ideas (although I don't like the feature bloat), but when I tried to use it I ran into so many issues and/or bugs. With git on the other hand I can't remember ever hitting a bug in decades.

I don't really like git that much, but it works pretty well most of the time.

This is a cool tool, I like the idea. But the way `uc machine init` works under the hood is really scary. Lot's of `curl | bash` run as root.

While I would love to test this tool, this is not something I would run on any machine :/

Same here. Pretty amazing. Almost every game in my (large) Steam libarary runs out of the box. Performance is on par with Windows. This finally allowed me to ditch Windows.

And no, I don't bother with crap that needs a kernel level anti-cheat. Simply not for me.

If you don't like Go, then just let go. I hope nobody forces you to use it.

Some critique is definitely valid, but some of it just sounds like they didn't take the time to grasp the language. It's trade offs all the way. For example there is a lot I like about Rust, but still no my favorite language.

I think all of those are using git and many Gerrit as well.

Maybe they need perforce support instead :P

Gerrit can do some of that.

That depends on your VCS. Some systems don't even allow you to "clone" anything. And yes, some of them enforce all kinds of ACLs.

That is pretty much what I'm doing with Steam, Proton and my Game Library. 99% the time it works just great.

Probably zero. And strike the non-SWE part. gpg isn't really easy to use.
