I find this to be a bizarre sentiment. It’s an artifact that exists. The chances of me making this by hand are 0. This would be a full time job for 3 years to research and build this. For 10 people. And it would have to charge a ton of money to access in that case.
I really think git worktrees are a bad approach. You’re better off in my view with one shared state and dealing with conflicts live by dividing tasks ahead of time using beads and letting agents communicate with each other using Agent Mail and file reservations.
I’ve been able to productively run 12+ agents from CC, Codex, Gemini-cli at the same time this way and it works really well.
I can't believe you're accusing someone of plagiarism because they had a similar idea that "claude code would be safer if it couldn't do destructive git calls". They also added much more protection, implemented it as a plugin, wrote thorough docs and have shipped many updates since.
You really think that's the same as someone blatantly plagiarizing the work and passing it off as their own? Give me a break. This is dishonest and odious.
I had a striking realization recently that has helped me improve my project. What matters isn’t what I think, it’s what the users which actually use the system think. Which is sort of obvious but somehow less so when the users are AI agents…
If the tool sucked, they would not be saying that. I’ve tried. Also they did give some negative feedback and it has already been used to improve the system.
It actually does work well. And perhaps it’s not even that surprising that it would work, because we know that’s what works already for human developers and companies, so we have an existence proof already.
I was recently explaining to someone how Barra risk factor models work and how they’re used by hedge funds to measure whether someone actually has investing skill or just “got lucky” (among many other use cases). And I realized that it would make an interesting article. So enjoy!
if you're storing the blocks in one place, its not decentralised.
The metadata would be crucial for performance, and given that I assume you'll want a full chain of history for every file, your metadata table will get progressively bigger every time you do any kind of metadata operation.
Plus you can only have one person write metadata at one time, so you're gonna get huge top of line blocking.
