Anthropic Rewrites Git Code Repository Itself, Boosting Efficiency 10x
Daily code merges: about 2,500 times in May, over 30,000 times in a single day in September—Git is designed for humans, can’t handle agents. 7 people spent 5 months building Scion: the repository only exists on the server, fetch whatever you need; time agents spend on code management per change: 34 minutes → 3.7 minutes (official self-report).
Twist: the architecture was publicly disclosed by Google back in 2016; what’s new is the speed; engineers’ job much of the time is to tell Claude “no”.

Anthropic says coding is no longer the bottleneck. Its monorepo hit 30,000+ merges in a day.
Anthropic claims coding is no longer the bottleneck after its monorepo hit 30,000+ merges in a day, and it migrated off Git to a Claude-built version control system called Scion. The post sparks discussion on where engineering effort shifts when AI handles coding autonomously.
