Git heavily influenced our developer tooling, and much of our developer tooling revolves around the 'post commit'.
But, what if the commit was the last step, which came after our continuous integration? And, not before? We couldn’t do this before because we simply didn't have machines powerful enough to run our builds.
With cloud development environments, that's no longer the case. And with AI does this mean that we're on the cusp of a revolution of the pull request flow that has been so prevalent.
Is the combination of AI 'pair programming' and cloud based development the push that will take the industry away form the typical pull request UI and force us to completely re-think our developer experience? And what if our outer loop will be completely removed and consumed by workspaces in the cloud?'

Gitpod is a cloud development environment that I'm curious to give a try, thanks to Lou's presentation.

He gave us an overview of how Gitpod solves the post-commit hell, when code goes to production and unexpected behaviors occur.

I appreciated how the problem was accurately described, the honest comparison with other existing tools and how Gitpod approaches it differently.

The concepts explained are interesting. Tilt seems to be cool.

Good talk
