GitHub is not agent scale.

Multiple companies are trying to create new versioning primitives/architectures which can handle machine-level code generation - 1 commit per second per repo.

It's like switching from horse buggies to automobiles, the whole worlds needs re-architecturing to handle the new load.

The age of boutique hand-coding is being replaced by the age of industrial software factories.

This is not a particularly novel level of scale. Facebook's mercurial backend had to handle >5,000 developers committing to the singular monorepo long before LLMs were a thing

		Yes, on a single repo. Now multiply that per bazillion companies on github, some of which are trying that.

Why the heck would you want to do this. Using git as your undo chain sounds like a pretty awful thing to do.

This seems odd to me. Why would you need to commit every second?

Is the scaling issue with git or github?
