The Future of Programming in an AI-Powered World
summary
Origins: a four‑person side project grows to 450+ employees and a $7.5B exit, built by shipping opinionated workflows for git. Current claim: version control needs a rethink—GitButler aims for Google‑Docs‑style autosave, AI commit messages and pull requests that reduce manual git plumbing. Evidence: daily use of co-pilot and LLMs cuts research and typing, letting developers iterate hundreds of implementations and pick the best. Other specifics: early hiring from open source, remote‑first practices, and advice to automate repetitive work to level up.
