I moved to Google from Microsoft and back when employee orientation involved going to Mountain View and going into labs to learn the basics, it was amusing to see fresh college hires confused at not-git while I sat down and said "It's Source Depot, I know this!"[1]
Actually curious - where have they? Zuck's claim didn't seem to be true.
I'd imagine a few places that have low technical acumen have tried, but I'll want to see how much they pay for SWEs willing to clean that codebase after they let LLMs run amok on it.
Bit late to the party, but it looks like the author created a "framework" that allows for extremely rapid development of the simplest kind of CRUD app. Everything is fine and dandy as long as nothing needs to change, or if it needs to be changed, then the changer is the author themselves.
I applaud the author for their intellectual pursuit, but I don't think it's fair to compare this to codebases where one does not simply pass the POST request body into the database.
Couldn't flutter work as public-first that then gets vendored into third_party?
Or is that literally the fork strategy you are talking about that I'm too dense to understand?
