ziggit

The commit I linked shows that it didn't even read the user name and email from git's config file, but used a test name, which means it's woefully incomplete. Then there's stuff like this: https://github.com/hdresearch/ziggit/blob/master/src/cmd_bra... It's just one giant function. Sometimes big functions are necessary. This one is clearly AI generated and not very readable for a human. This is just from a quick glance.

Bun's attempted to integrate with libgit2 instead of spawning calls to the git CLI and found it to be consistently 3x slower iirc The micro-benchmarks are for the internal git operations that bun rn delegates to CLI calls. Overall, network time (ie round trip to GitHub and back) is what balances the performance when evaluating `bun install` but there are still places where ziggit has better visible wins like on arm-based Macs https://github.com/hdresearch/ziggit/blob/master/BENCHMARKS....

You have to maintain a completely separate implementation of AI generated code that's translated from C, so not even idiomatic zig. Edit And then I go their repository and read commits like this https://github.com/hdresearch/ziggit/commit/31adc1da1693e402... which confirms it wasn't even looked over by a human.

With the recent barrage of AI-slop 'speedup' posts, the first thing I always do to see if the post is worth a read is doing a Ctrl+F "benchmark" and seeing if the benchmark makes any fucking sense. 99% of the time (such as in this article), it doesn't. What do you mean 'cloneBare + findCommit + checkout: ~10x win'? Does that mean running those commands back to back result in a 10x win over the original? Does that mean that there's a specific function that calls these 3 operations, and that's the improvement of the overall function? What's the baseline we're talking about, and is it relevant at all? Those questions are partially answered on the much better benchmark page[1], but for some reason they're using the CLI instead of the gitlib for comparisons.
