Boy, if you want to trust your company’s codebase to xAI, I don’t know what to tell you except good luck and Godspeed. GitHub’s been terrible lately, but the answer surely isn’t to hitch your wagon to Elon’s AI bet.
A common refrain in the commentariat is "if AI makes you so more productive, where's all the new ambitious software?" Here you are, here's an AI assisted Github clone.
doesn't matter, it's DOA anyway, Elon is bad for your brand, hosting your project with Elon is a sure way to have people pass on it, and possibly a way your private repos end up in an Ai training set. These people cannot be trusted
Fwiw, Microsoft has not been as destructive to GitHub as people predicted. The complaint these days is around uptime, which is understood to be an effort to migrate to Azure.
It's one thing to have low quality products, it's another to have a low ethics leader. They can both be hated, but it is different.
GitHub downtime is a matter which can be resolved, not so sure about Elon's antics. But this is all besides the actual reasons GitHub has staying power. (network, actions, migrating git hosts is a significant endeavor that doesn't add value to your users)
I’ve finally cancelled my Cursor subscription. It was an interesting product, but the fact that most interesting features only work with per-token pricing, not Cursor and Codex subscriptions, is a bummer. As to their Composer models, they were good for simpler coding tasks, but after the company purchase, they will probably end up merged with Grok, and I do not want to pay nor contribute to Elon Musk’s businesses.
This just reminded me to cancel it. I got pretty annoyed back in March when I did a comparison between Cursor and Claude Code to see if Claude had gotten better, and my cursor burned $200 unsupervised on extra credits in a single session. I should have been paying attention.
I've left Claude Code with Fable running all night and it not only didn't run out of my Weekly Claude allowance, it didn't even run out of my weekly fable allowance. Claude Code has been the best coding harness for the money.
I have been a long time Cursor user but it is really expensive even if it is convenient to switch models. I recently switched to just Max on Claude and Max on Codex. That is cheaper than Cursor if you use it a lot.
That hasn't been my experience but maybe it's because in cursor I'm really only using the auto feature all the time. It's been almost a month of daily usage and I'm still only at like 70% quota.
Agents are here. Just self host and let the agents help cover your ass in network config, HA, whatever.

Seems like even most critics would agree LLMs are capable of producing impressive-for-the-timescale clones of existing software, but is that valuable?
With as bad as GitHub has gotten, I can see moving...but not to here.
Ironically this had an issue because of GitHub downtime?

Cursor / SpaceX will just have free rein to just train on your hosted code if you use Cursor Origin.
My guess is there will be at least dozens if not hundreds.
What’s the point? What value does it add VS VSCode with Claude and such?
