Summer holiday or whatever the freedom equivalent is probably.

which, if true, the low volume in that week says that there aren't a sizable fraction of changes that Anthropic believes can be merged based on the judgement of agents -- humans are still approving almost all changes, right?

Someone has to approve all the "allow grep?" calls.

This is the wrong way to look at the problem. Maybe they should have asked, "Why does our process need to do so many git checkouts?" Why can't you just run the tests where you already checked out the code?

> as of September, we merged over 30,000 per day.
I just wonder what is the churn rate (and the cost per LOC) here.

Google migrated from Perforce to Piper, and Meta migrated from Mercurial to Sapling.
Now Anthropic has migrated from Git to Scion. It's a good sign they are on the right track.

I guess Anthropic are not IEC-62443-4-1 compliant, because I doubt a human reads and understands every single line of those 30,000 merges a day.
What then?

Simple - hire 30k Indians, tell each of them to understand one line of code.

For a broader look on scaling other parts of software development outside of source control, Adam Bender's talk from earlier this year ("Software engineering at the tipping point") has some good ideas: https://youtu.be/2n41YjR5QfU

Where does all of this end? If they keep this growth up, or even if they slow to a linear growth, they will produce more code than humanity combined pre-AI. That's scary.

Slightly OT, but it‘s interesting and nice to see that Anthropic‘s own blog posts don‘t have many AI prose tells (or Claude-isms) in them.

I've heard rumors of a rule at Anthropic where Claude cannot write any blog posts/marketing.

Making scalable source control is much easier when you can rely on a distributed database (Spanner) and object storage (GCS/S3/...)!
