With #GitHub moving into the CoreAI division at #Microsoft, are you sticking around or planning a move?

Most all-in-one products don't focus on code review like we do. If you're planning a move, plan to give Review Board a try.

There are worlds of software development tools we overlook, innovations we've missed.

We hand over our control to a few major companies, accepting the limitations and AI training that come with its use.

But there are other ways to develop.

We’ve handed off control — not just where code lives, but how it moves, who can see it, and what tools we’re allowed to use. Maybe it’s worth asking: Should we take back control of our code? And ho…

One of the things we've built that I think we really got right is DiffX.org.

There really isn't any standard for diffs. Every tool has their own format. We've built a spec and implementation for a universal format retaining backwards-compatibility.

Has your team adopted #AI #coding tools? How have they been working out for you?

Are you reviewing that code using AI, people, or a mix of both?

We'd love to hear how this new era of AI-driven #development has impacted your own work.

#Git may get all the attention, but #Subversion and #Perforce have a lot of strengths for #gamedev, with their large binary file support.

And Review Board works with all three.

Here's one person's deep dive on how they compare for binary files:

It's hard to imagine it now, but #codereview wasn't really a thing when we built this. There were a couple expensive enterprise tools, but #GitHub? Pull requests? They didn't exist.
