  • Having an AI company host your source code is giving your source code to an untrustworthy agent who might break their sandbox and might use your source code to accomplish a task that they have been given in their testing ground, for testing purposes only, that would definitely positively not ever be used for non-testing purposes.

  • Given Grok was just caught uploading whole codebases and sensitive .envs without permission, how can anyone possibly trust this?

  • I can't imagine reaching for this instead of GitLab, GitTea, or one of the many other more mature and open source alternatives. Going for the managers, directors, and CTOs that make decisions and face no consequences if they negatively impact the team, I guess.

  • "Legacy Privacy Mode disables code storage, so you can't set up a Codebase. Switch to a different privacy mode below to continue." The only other privacy mode is to share data for Cursor to do training.

    All your codebases are belong to us.

  • Cursor is allegedly worth $60B. That is a higher market cap than Mercedes Benz group, which is profitable and has $144B revenue.

    But the website uses 100% CPU. And this is a beta for paid plans, not a GitHub alternative.

  • I do wonder if calling this "Origin" is going to result in semantic misinterpretations by LLMs. Ie saying,

    > "hey can you push to origin main?"

    now has two separate meanings.

    A LLM may inadvertently push your code to a new provider without you knowing. It's walking a thin line between genius-growth-move and domain typosquatting.

  • I really hope more people would use Tangled (https://tangled.org/)

    You get:

       - Self hosting your git hosting (if you want)

   - Self hosting your issues/PRs (if you want)

   - Self hosting your CI (if you want)

   - Github-like social features (I have one account, I can follow, star, add issues and PRs to any repo on tangled)
    It's built on ATProto, so even if the company disappears, all of the integration and features will still work for anyone that wants to run their own AppView (that is open-source), an AppView is basically the UI/Network-wide Data Aggregator for ATProto apps

  • Hi all, my name is Tomas. I am one of the developers on Origin, and I was one of the founders of Graphite (https://graphite.com).

    Happy to answer any questions about Origin or source control in general!
