Two big red flags here.

First git itself is distributed and built for scale.

I guesss they mean “gitlab” instead of “git”. But such a huge mistake would never go unnoticed.

Are they going to rebuilt git??

Secondly: a big rebuilt of monolith to services. Firstly there is nothing wrong with a Modulith. Secondly “rebuilt” will cause a lot of busy work without immediate value for customers.

And first of all: this announcement is done due to the stock price not AI The productivity increase with AI is inflated because they want their stock price up.

Sell Gitlab stock while you can. The leadership team has no clue what they are doing.

Sadly non engineering leaders buy into this dogma. AI is very usefull but in my experience doesn’t 10x if you don’t YOLO it.

And xAI now gets 10B of more revenue on their income statement.

Perfect financial statement boosting for the IPO which in turn will pay back these costs.

At least that’s the bet.

Technical design docs are higher level than code, they are impricise but highlight an architectural direction. Blanks need to be filled in. AI Shines here.

Formal specs == code Some language shine in being very close to a formal spec. Yes functional languages.

But lets first discuss which kind of spec we talk about.

Also, we only allow engineers to commit (agent generated) code. Designers just come up with suggestions, engineers take it and ensure it fits our architecture.

We do have a huge codebase. We are teaching Claude Code with CLAUDE.md's and now also .spec.md (often a summary of the implementation plan).

In the end, engineers are responsible.

AI is similar to a person you dont know that does work for you. Probably AI is a bit more trustworthy than a random person.

But a company, needs to let employees take ownership of their work, and trust them. Allow them to make mistakes.

Isnt AI no different?

Claude checks multiples websites, reads them all, and answers my question.

You don’t want to be burning tokens and large files will give diminishing returns as is mentioned in the Claude Code blog.

In Claude Code you can invoke an agent when you want as a developer and it copies the file content as context in the prompt.

Both in software hardware and handing.

I think it even surpasses Chinese brands.

It does not specify how “agentic” systems interact with each other. Depending on what you mean there.
