That my thought when I saw online only, we're back to Subversion.

You think you have it bad now when GitHub goes down, wait until you're stuck with an online only client.

I think offline work is increasingly impossible these days, or at least so hindered that there's no reason to optimize for it (especially with how reliable internet access is). Imagine working at Anthropic and not having access to Claude. Google has been online-only for a long time now.

Hard disagree, for the vast majority of Dev work this is not the case.

You don't use cloud AI for the vast majority of dev work?

no, I dont use it at all lol

claude is also online-only so i doubt they mind

Until the server goes down. Subversion going down at work stopped everything. At least with git you can still find work to continue on with even if you can't push.
