Claude Code already does this, you can access it with /resume, /rewind and /fork. I'd imagine building a version that saves in the repo instead of in the home folder would take very minimal effort.

I'm using it on a large set of existing codebases full of extremely ugly legacy code, weird build systems, tons of business logic and shipping directly to prod at neckbreaking growth over the last two years, and it's delivering th

If you watch the demo video you can see how they would get this: the model is not aggressive enough. While it doesn't cut you off, which is nice, it also always waits an uncanny amount of time to chime in.

I hate to be the first one commenting to say this, but here it goes: the flashy LLM writing style, "Apple Event Dialect" in the README and in this comment is very recognizable and also quite irritating. If this is supposed to be b

1.0 is not an upgrade, it's the first stable release. Usually it signifies the arrival of some amount of feature completeness and stability compared to the fast paced 0.x days. Of course semver doesn't really fit neatly most softw

This is a weakness of the Python typing system and not necessarily of individual typecheckers. Pyright has a policy of only implementing what's standardized, and the Python type system is simply inadequate to annotate most real world P

Git natively supports excludes in all pathspecs, e.g. `git log -- ':!generated/'` to exclude files in the `generated/` folder from showing up in the log.

In a practical example you'd create a named intermediate type which becomes a new base for reasoning. Once you convinced yourself that the first part of the chain responsible for creating that type (or a collection of it) is correct, y
