I wish these "acquired by" announcements started with an explanation of what the startup was in the first place.

I had never heard of them before and have no clue what they do or why OpenAI wanted to buy them.

itunpredictable•51m ago
or how much they got bought for...

As someone with a cat who used to be named "Vito", but eventually ended up as "Pierre", I'm going to assume "Pierre Computer" somehow makes your AI act more French. :P

Isn't that literally what's in the first paragraph of the announcement?

I'm interested in knowing more about the company itself. How many people is/was it? Were they working all in an office together or local-remote, or fully globally distributed? Was the focus massive scale, or ultra-low latency (for agent iteration), or agent-first (but human in the loop) usecases that could be enabled by having core control of a git service and the wrappers around it?

nooooo.

I mean good for the team, I'm sure they will make out quite nicely.

But it was really great to see high quality OSS being extracted from their enterprise-focused https://code.storage/ service. Not I imagine the oss updates and new libs will decline, maybe not right away, but eventually, especially as they get rolled into whatever the product-offering of the week is that altman cooks up.

Oh well. so it goes
