Best part of coding is the flow. If we stop engaging our brains while engineering, we’re going to lose the best part of the job. Folks liken vibe coding to EMing. If that plays out, it’s cheese grater schedules and the death of flow state :/

.@Karpathy nails the core constraint of vibe coding: humans are still the bottleneck. A 1,000+ line AI-generated PR isn’t helpful—it’s a liability. Stacked PRs + agent-assisted code review make verification fast & easy.

Good code review comments lead to code changes. By this metric, Diamond slightly beats human reviewers (51% vs. 50% comment acceptance rate) and outshines noisy competitors (33-38%).

12th most-used AI devtool and we’re just getting started.

Really cool to have Graphite sponsor The Pragmatic Engineer Podcast. Graphite is the best way to do "stacked diffs" (something places like Meta and Uber have done for 10ish years), and ship faster with AI features like codebase-aware AI PR feedback (cont'd):

The urge to merge

Thousands of engineers at Shopify are using Graphite to accelerate their review cycles. 33% more PRs shipped per dev. Zero slowdown.

Massive week for Graphite customers: Figma IPO’d at a $56.3B market cap Ramp raised at a $22.5B valuation Clay raised at a $3.1B valuation The future is being built with Graphite

Snowflake now uses Graphite for high quality AI reviews. Over 60% of bugs caught lead to real fixes before they hit prod. Less time fixing. More time building.

Bigger days ahead. Thanks Forbes for the nod and to our users for the push. Now back to work; we have some great launches coming up!

Spoke at Ai4 - Artificial Intelligence Conferences about something we see daily at Graphite: writing code isn’t the bottleneck - review is. AI accelerates the inner loop; the outer loop now needs superpowers

Some eng max out their desk, monitor, and keyboard. Brandon chooses a laptop and nothing more. "More room to kick my feet up."
