This is going to be a meta comment, my apologies.
But I now understand the growth in Github's activity that led to its instability recently. Folks just see a project (Cursor's Origin), open up a claude session with a couple harness, and just throw a lot of money, and external energy at generating what will most likely end up being garbage.
But this garbage looks and feels good at the onset, and so a few iterations happen, more PRs, more commits until it dies down.
In the end, almost nothing of value was created, it was just machine creating stuff for other machines, while humans were mostly spectators of an illusion.
Rinse and repeat.

We've created Walinux, a Linux that runs as a durable object in S3, so it's diskless, serverless, transistorless, electricity-less, scales to zero and infinity simultaneously, and can be traded as an NFT ape. Mathematicians are dumbfounded.
The thirty-five thousand other "S3-backed CLI tool for AI" projects are now obsolete.

underlying idea of storing git repositories in object stores is identical to https://github.com/tigrisdata/objgit
