Do you have confidence they can execute?

GitHub have proven the ability to execute very well when they _want_ to. Their product people are top notch.

Given the VP of GitHub recently posted a screenshot of their new stacked diff concept on X, I'd be amazed if Graphite folks (whos product is adding this function) didn't get wind of it and look for a quick sell.

		This seems very very implausible to me as an explanation of what prompted them to get acquired. They wanted to get rich and stop having to fundraise!

This was "announced" in October, and last week they were saying they're shipping to trusted partners to kick the tires before a real release, with posted screenshots.

So, we'll see what it ends up like, but they have apparently already executed.

		These are basically X posts, so it's super easy to miss.

I mean this is not a new problem to solve. Git itsels is perfect for this and Gerrit has been doing this for years. So yeah I think they can execute
