A DEVELOPER PROVED YOU CAN FIND THE EXACT COMMIT THAT BROKE YOUR CODE IN A HISTORY OF 10,000 -- IN ABOUT 13 STEPS, AUTOMATICALLY.. 33 minutes from a Google engineer on git bisect: the built-in command that binary-searches your entire history to hunt down the one commit that introduced... a bug. -> The moment it lands, "When did this break?" stops being an afternoon of guessing. You hand git a good commit, a bad one, and a test and it finds the culprit while you watch. Most people debug a regression by reading diffs by hand, blaming the obvious file, and hoping. Bisect doesn't hope. It cuts the search in half, then in half again, until only the guilty commit is left standing. Reading history by hand was never the skill -> letting git do the binary search for you is. And when an AI agent dumps hundreds of commits into your repo and one quietly breaks production, bisect is what finds the needle without you reading a single line. The bug isn't hiding. It's sitting in one exact commit. Most people just never learned to make git point at it. Bookmark & Watch it today ↓show more

The hard part lies buried in this high promise tweet. Writing tests. Yes, you have to submit the tests to the flow to be able to find the break point. Did you leave out the testing bit for later? Ha ha, this git bisect ain't for you.

That's impressive! Git bisect is a game changer. It's like detective work for code—solving mysteries one commit at a time!

i don't believe it's that simple and only 13 steps

Git bisect is one of those boring superpowers. Agents get flashier, but a clean binary search through history still feels like cheating in the best way.

The production lifted an already excellent conversation

Adel Bucetta4 months ago

the honest answer is, we're still in the dark ages when it comes to code reliability and debugging. this just highlights how much work we have to do on making dev tools smarter

Glen Handke4 months ago

Get bisect only works as far back as you can build with your current libraries, build tools, and dependencies. In other words, it only works if the breaking change was very recent. Otherwise, you spend more time restoring packages and trying to get old checkouts to build then it would have taken to find the bug with a compare.

A DEVELOPER MADE A REAL COMMIT WITHOUT EVER TYPING GIT ADD OR GIT COMMIT -- JUST TO PROVE THE COMMANDS YOU LIVE BY ARE A THIN SHELL OVER A DATABASE YOU'VE NEVER ONCE OPENED 55 minutes from Tim Berglund, a longtime Git teacher and GitHub evangelist, taking the tool apart down to the raw objects almost nobody who uses it every day has ever touched. -> The moment it clicks, Git stops being a pile of memorized commands and becomes what it actually is underneath: a tiny content-addressed database of blobs, trees and commits. git add and git commit are just polite wrappers around writing objects into it by hand. Every commit you've ever made was Git hashing a snapshot and filing it by fingerprint. Branches are just labels pointing at one of those objects. The work you thought you destroyed with a bad reset is still sitting in the reflog. Once you can see that graph, the commands that used to terrify you stop being scary at all. Memorizing commands was never the skill -> reading the object graph in your head is.

Landing a change in someone else's codebase is the part nobody taught you. Most people can save their own work. Far fewer can revise a patch five times, keep the history clean, and merge it into a project moving under them. Saving your code was never the skill -> getting it merged into someone else's is.

THE CO-FOUNDER OF GITHUB GAVE A 46-MINUTE TALK ON GIT BECAUSE ENGINEERS WITH 10 YEARS IN HAVE NEVER SEEN HALF OF WHAT IT DOES This is Scott Chacon. He wrote Pro Git -- the book most devs secretly learned Git from and he co-founded GitHub. So when he says you're missing things, you're missing things. About ten minutes in it clicks: half the "git disasters" you've ever fixed by deleting the folder and re-cloning had a one-line solution sitting in the tool the whole time. Git ships new code almost every day -> roughly nine commits a day for over a decade. Most of us stopped learning it the second we memorized add, commit, push. Knowing Git isn't a senior-dev flex anymore -> it's the floor. The agent writes the code now. Your real job is reading, branching, and untangling the history it leaves behind. The day an AI agent force-pushes over your main branch, these 46 minutes are the difference between a quiet fix and a very loud apology. Save it now. You'll reach for it sooner than you'd like ↓

Git Merge vs. Rebase vs. Squash Commit What are the differences and when should you use each? As I explain in more detail in the video, there are some key distinctions. Git Merge This creates a new commit in the target branch. The new commit ties the histories of both main and feature branches together. Git merge is non-destructive - it introduces a new commit without altering existing ones. Git Rebase Rebase transplants commits to the tip of another branch. It creates new commits for each one moved over. The benefit is linear history. But be cautious with shared branches to avoid confusing collaborators. Squash Commit Squashing condenses multiple commits into one, streamlining the commit history. Watch the video to see when to use merge vs rebase vs squash when incorporating changes between main and feature branches. – Subscribe to our weekly newsletter to get a Free System Design PDF (158 pages):

A screen recording is the best context you can give an AI agent. It's also the worst. A few seconds of video is thousands of images. Feed that to an agent and you instantly blow up its memory. So I built a tool that fixes it. How it works: Hit record and just do your thing. Click around, type, and talk out loud about what you're doing. While you record, it quietly captures the stuff that actually matters: your voice transcription, every click and the exact thing you clicked, what you typed, and the shortcuts you press. When you stop, it doesn't hand the agent the whole video. It writes a short, readable summary: a timeline of what you said and did. The agent reads that tiny summary first. Then, only when it needs to actually see a moment, it pulls that one exact frame from the video, like flipping to a single page instead of reading the whole book. The result: the agent understands everything you did! Full context. Less tokens.

So I built a tool that fixes it. How it works: Hit record and just do your thing. Click around, type, and talk out loud about what you're doing. While you record, it quietly captures the stuff that actually matters: your voice transcription, every click and the exact thing you clicked, what you typed, and the shortcuts you press. When you stop, it doesn't hand the agent the whole video. It writes a short, readable summary: a timeline of what you said and did. The agent reads that tiny summary first. Then, only when it needs to actually see a moment, it pulls that one exact frame from the video, like flipping to a single page instead of reading the whole book. The result: the agent understands everything you did! Full context. Less tokens.

THIS IS F*CKING OBSCENE opus 5.5 got Fortnite running inside Minecraft and Minecraft running inside GTA 5, with nobody's permission and nobody's documentation three engines, three completely different ways in, and one of them has no way in at all THREE GAMES, THREE DIFFERENT WAYS IN → Minecraft is Java and ships a loader on purpose. that one is the front door. you write against an interface somebody meant for you to use → GTA 5 has no modding api and no front door. you get a compiled binary and nothing else, and the only route in is to read it → Fortnite is a live service with anti cheat sitting on top. there is no way in at all, and that single fact changes the entire job WHAT READING A BINARY ACTUALLY MEANS → no source, no comments, no function names. you recover what code does from what it is, which is the opposite direction from how it was written → the exact build gets pinned before anything else, because one patch moves every address underneath you, and a different version is a different game → nothing counts until it is confirmed inside the running process. launch it, play it, look at it. opus 5.5 does the reading, the pinning and the checking, and that loop is the part that used to be a team and a year WHAT THIS ACTUALLY CHANGES → reverse engineering was the most expensive skill in modding. one person, one binary, months of evenings, and the knowledge died with the project → now it is a loop that runs while you sleep, and what comes out of it is not a guess, it is something that got checked against the game while the game was running → so the hard question stopped being whether you can get into an engine. it is what you do once you are standing in three of them at once one layer was read out of a binary one came through the front door one was never touched at all, and it still had to land right

IN 1986 MIT FILMED THE LECTURE WHERE CODE STOPPED BEING CODE AND BECAME DATA 43 minutes from Gerald Sussman, in the most legendary intro programming course ever recorded. -> The idea that lands: to a program, your code is just data it can read and rewrite. He builds a program that does real calculus -- not by crunching numbers, but by reading the math as a list and transforming it piece by piece. Then he shows the trick hiding under all of it: in this language, code and data are the same material. Forty years later that is exactly what an AI coding agent is -- a program that reads your code as data, rewrites it, and hands it back. Sussman drew the whole idea on a blackboard in 1986. Writing code was never the deepest skill -- understanding that code itself is data a program can manipulate is. This is where you learn it. Most people think AI writing code is brand new. The ones who watch this saw the blueprint 40 years ago. Bookmark & Watch it. This one's a legend ↓

Can your agent finally edit your videos? Yup, it's a repo called video use, by Browser Use. You put the raw footage in a folder. Then Claude Code or Codex edits it. It removes the filler words, cuts the dead space, adds the subtitles, and renders the file. Then it checks its own cut points. Most creators use the same small set of edits in every video. That style stays in your head and in your hands. This repo puts it in a file that an agent can read. People ask for a full YouTube channel on day one. They see bad results, and they stop. Start with one format instead. - One founder loom into a 60 second launch video - 3 clips out of one podcast recording Then make the format a system. Then you operate the system, or you sell it. - Real estate agents need listing videos - Coaches need clips - Agencies need ad variations Manual installation with git clone is possible. For 95% of people, the agent is faster. Here's how i intalled it: - Gave the setup prompt to Claude Code with shell access - Let it read install.md - Installed the repo - Connected FFmpeg - Registered the skill

ANTHROPIC LEAKED 6 RULES THAT LET ONE FOLDER REPLACE A WHOLE AI ENGINEERING TEAM COSTING $3.2M A YEAR folder with 6 files replaced the AI engineers - and the team that spent 4 years writing them isn't needed anymore. file → commit → description matches → loads → runs → leaves a prompt has no history, a folder has a git log - one commit updates every session at once, and every edit shows up in the diff. two prompts fight over one window - two skills just both apply, and nobody merges anything by hand. 8 skills sit on disk, one enters the context - the other seven cost zero tokens until the description matches. a prompt can only ask - the folder carries build py and template.docx inside it, so the deterministic parts stay deterministic. the same skill works in Claude Code, in Cowork and through the API - a prompt lives only in the window you pasted it into. and the main one: a skill leaves the window when it's done - a prompt never leaves. save this - 6 rules, one folder, zero copy-paste ↓

A DEVELOPER PROVED THAT MOST OF THE CLASSES YOU WRITE SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN CLASSES AT ALL 27 minutes from Jack Diederich, a Python core developer, on how much of your code is just a function wearing a costume. -> The moment it lands, the rule is brutal: if a class has two methods and one is __init__, you meant to write a function. Most people add structure to feel like real engineers. It just adds weight no one ever needed. Writing more code was never the skill -> writing less of it is. And when an AI agent happily generates ten classes for a job that needed three lines, the person who knows what to delete is the one who ships something clean. Anyone can add abstraction. Knowing when not to is the whole job. Bookmark it and Watch ↓
