git -> scion, agentic software development at large scale

Worth reading. The scale at which Anthropic uses agents internally - and the numbers behind it - is impressive. They’ve moved their monorepo from Git to Scion, an in-house source control system designed to handle massive agentic workloads.

It offers a glimpse of what software development could look like in the future—putting energy use, environmental impact, and infrastructure costs aside for a moment ;)

It gave me plenty of food for thought about how agentic development could change the day-to-day work of software engineers - and what might become possible.
