Git: from 10 days to 20 years

It is not JavaScript that is created in 10 days, apparently Git is also made so quickly.

And both Git and JavaScript take way much more than 10 days to learn properly :)

It is strange how code market works, "free" and "available" often "wins"

Linus Torvalds built Git in 10 days - and never imagined it would last 20 years
Git is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Here's why Torvalds never intended for it to stick around.

...Torvalds's answer was to create a true open-source VCS alternative: Git. In a mere 10 days, he developed a working version of Git, which was first committed on April 7, 2005.

Codex CLI: frontier reasoning in the terminal

... a lightweight coding agent you can run from your terminal. It works directly on your computer and is designed to maximize the reasoning capabilities of models like o3 and o4-mini, with upcoming support for additional API models like GPT‑4.1⁠.

You can get the benefits of multimodal reasoning from the command line by passing screenshots or low fidelity sketches to the model, combined with access to your code locally. We think of it as a minimal interface to connect our models to users and their computers. Codex CLI is fully open-source at github.com/openai/codex⁠(opens in a new window)
