Addy GhaniHOST
see it says um don't do anything before november 12th so i think there's like some time stamp stuff that has to happen I guess they could do that.
Addy GhaniHOST
Yeah, you probably have to check it into Perforce or GitHub or something.
Addy GhaniHOST
I don't know.
Joey DaoudHOST
Damn, I was hoping it would be like...
Nick GeraceGUEST
They've said, I've just used Git since 2005, and I'm on GitLab, GitHub, Bitbucket, and it's only just now our organization's thinking about switching off.
Nick GeraceGUEST
And for me, I've actually always been a little amenable to the idea because my first full-time job was at NetApp, which is a Perforce company.
Nick GeraceGUEST
and a lot of customizations around Perforce.
Nick GeraceGUEST
So Git's limitations with things like large files and the cons to decentralization, I think, had always been front of mind to me.
Nick GeraceGUEST
So thinking about what we do next at East River, Steve Klapnick put up a really good blog post on the East river website about it and basically the moving beyond get and the scalability beyond get and how we sort of get people source control that, um, is not just good for the everyday use case of an open source repo, like the Linux projects that you send a mailing patch over, or maybe a world where both humans and agents are always online and are able to work with each other more collaboratively.
Mart GervacioGUEST
There's no simple way to do it, only because there's so many different ways to do it.
Mart GervacioGUEST
If you can afford it, a tool like Perforce or any tool that manages builds is probably the best.
Mart GervacioGUEST
But I've seen people handle builds on their local desktop before.
Mart GervacioGUEST
Just be as organized as possible in naming your file names and making sure you know what build it is you're uploading, especially if you're making fixes all the time.
Niall BrowneGUEST
So if I'm an engineer, maybe I'm working in source code, I'll hook it into AI.
Niall BrowneGUEST
GitHub or GitLab, Hambu, Perforce, any of those core systems.
Niall BrowneGUEST
If I'm in HR, I'm going to hook it into Workday.
Niall BrowneGUEST
If I'm basically working in finance, I might hook it into Oracle.
Chris RomeoHOST
It sounds like you have an analysis of their technical approach.
Matt ColesHOST
I was going to say, why didn't they just use Perforce or SVN or one of those other systems that we know works without doing the replication that Git does?
Chris RomeoHOST
I know we were talking about this before we started.
Chris RomeoHOST
I just can't remember.
Chris RomeoHOST
I remember Perforce.
Chris RomeoHOST
I've used it.
Chris RomeoHOST
I just don't remember.
Chris RomeoHOST
almost across the board, but
Patrick WendelGUEST
So there's this ACL problem.
Patrick WendelGUEST
Now, merely by coincidence, by the way, Perforce and these older source code management tools did have ACLs in them.
Patrick WendelGUEST
But just merely coincidentally, this tool called Git took over and Git has no ACLs.
Patrick WendelGUEST
You know, the only ACL Git has, you're either in or out of the repo.
Dave SobelHOST
The flaw sits in PHP itself, underneath the website.
Dave SobelHOST
Perforce, which sells long-term PHP support through its Zend business, points to Datadog's researchers, who reproduced one of the flaws and found that the malicious request never reaches the application's code.
Dave SobelHOST
The site's own login and security can't stop it.
Dave SobelHOST
Then, Volnchek built an exploit that gets past ASLR, the memory scrambling that had kept most published exploits from working on real servers.
Dave SobelHOST
So the question becomes who delivers the fix? For PHP, there are three answers.
Dave SobelHOST
The PHP project patches the versions it still supports, 8.2 and newer.
Dave SobelHOST
Linux distributions of support vendors, Perforce writes, are the only source of fixes for 8.1 and older.
Dave SobelHOST
Zend and other vendors shipped those patches the same day.
JasminHOST
uh the thing that you can do and this is the thing that i did uh i realized this by mistake uh 10 days ago before the previous weekend is that if you want to do something for example on a linux machine i was reconfiguring it perforce So performance is a source engine, so it is able to actually store the source.
JasminHOST
So basically, GitHub for gaming.
JasminHOST
And I was thinking of something on Perforce.
JasminHOST
It's pretty tricky because you are changing a lot of things, and those things need to be changed under a specific user.
JasminHOST
using scripts that you are linking to the performance process.
Artificial IntelligenceNARRATOR
Copilot ships no native spec workflow at all, which is why spec kit exists as a separate layer bolted on top of it.
Artificial IntelligenceNARRATOR
Full agent capability also demands GitHub as your source control, which rules out the many regulated engineering organizations sitting on Azure DevOps, Perforce or GitLab.
Artificial IntelligenceNARRATOR
Billing is moving, too.
Artificial IntelligenceNARRATOR
GitHub shifted copilot plans onto usage-metered AI credits in June 2026, so model your consumption rather than assuming the old-seat math holds.
