Redesigning source control at Anthropic \ Anthropic
As our monorepo grows, it increasingly doesn’t fit that design space. The history of our main branch alone is almost 100 GB, and a compressed working copy is over 25 GB. We perform on the order of 25 million code checkouts per day for CI, before counting developer environments, agent sandboxes, and research jobs. Fetched naively, that would be over 600 PB of git traffic per day.
Oh...
Engineers are no less valuable, but their work is changing. All of the engineers who worked on this system would now rate Claude as better at writing code than them. But our engineers still supplied the invaluable understanding of the high-level inter-system components and the design-level tradeoffs, making informed choices around the problems we wanted to solve and the scale we knew we needed to achieve.
Anthropic me donne l'image d'un genre de temple ou les ingénieurs sont les prêtres d'un dieu. Les décisions d'architectures sont des genre de prières à ce dieu (Claude) qui exaucerait les voeux en produisant du code. Plus personne ne maîtrise rien. Vertigineux.
Our team members still review every change request for the system, but they now examine the intent of the change as opposed to reading every line of code.
Oh ça doit être vomitif comme job...
