This looks neat, we certainly need more ideas and solutions on this space, I work with large codebases daily and the limits on agentic contexts are constantly evident. I've some questions related to how I would consume a tool like this one:

How does this fare with codebases that change very frequently? I presume background agents re-indexing changes must become a bottleneck at some point for large or very active teams.

If I'm working on a large set of changes modifying lots of files, moving definitions around, etc., meaning I've deviated locally quite a bit from the most up to date index, will Nia be able to reconcile what I'm trying to do locally vs the index, despite my local changes looking quite different from the upstream?

great question!

For large and active codebases, we avoid full reindexing. Nia tracks diffs and file level changes, so background workers only reindex what actually changed. We are also building “inline agents” that watch pull requests or recent commits and proactively update the index ahead of your agent queries.

Local vs upstream divergence is a real scenario. Today Nia prioritizes providing external context to your coding agents: packages, provider docs, SDK versions, internal wikis, etc. We can still reconcile with your local code if you point the agent at your local workspace (cursor and claude code already provide that path). We look at file paths, symbol names and usage references to map local edits to known context. In cases where the delta is large, we surface both the local version and the latest indexed version so the agent understands what changed.

Who are the likely successors if Satya steps down?

Man. Hopefully their remediation steps included a full audit of their Box's account.

One could only imagine that if OP wasn't the first to discover it, people could've generated tons of shared links for all kinds of folders, for instance, which would remain active even if they invalidated the API token.

I wonder how is Satya perceived internally?

He's above the 10 year mark, which is a long time for fortune 500 ceos.

“I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.”

Let’s hope IBM keeps their streak of bad predictions.

I think this old quote can come around to being accurate in a way, if you consider that from the user's perspective every cloud service is like one system. Aws, Azure, Google cloud...how many will there be when the dust settles? ;-)

It's a little odd for a capitalist society that values outputs so highly to also value process as much.

We've proved we can sort of value it, through supporting sustainability/environmental practices, or at least _pretending to_.

I just wonder, what will be the "Carbon credits" of the AI era. In my mind a dystopian scheme of AI-driven companies buying "Human credits" from companies that pay humans to do things.

I mean there's still Grok... surely that gives may safety teams heartburn.

But I find this take interesting. The brewing of a new kind of counter culture that forces humans to express themselves creatively. Hopefully it doesn't get too radical.

Grok still has that annoying tone, it just uses it to say weird things.

Grok sounds like the "how do you do fellow kids" meme. It just sounds cringe.

So like a 54 year old rich white man trying to post cool edgy takes?

Feels like a response from being recently booted out of whatsapp.

anything running in production is already legacy.

If you don’t design and write code with that in mind you’re basically planting landmines for your future self.

Interfaces are the only stable ground.

Guys, OP is clearly joking, he uses Cloudflare himself:

    gerardo.ns.cloudflare.com.

No way, that’s hilarious.
