Anthropic is bragging about rolling their own from-scratch in-house version control system because git couldn't keep up with their 30,000 commits per day, and it doesn't seem to occur to them for a nanosecond that they are not fixing the actual problem in their engineering practices but making it exponentially worse

@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange I have seen this at United Fruit, where programmers running into any kind of limit would try to bulldoze through it rather than take it as a cue to re-examine their design. I liked to say that if FruitCo SREs were asked to design banquet seating for 300, they’d make a table seating 150 people on a side.
