OpenAI to acquire Pierre to strengthen Codex code browsing and review tools
On November 4, OpenAI said it will acquire Pierre Computer Company, the team behind Code Storage and the open-source Trees and Diffs libraries already used for browsing files and reviewing changes in Codex. The open-source projects stay open, and the deal still needs regulatory approval. My take: AI writing code is no longer the news; the bottleneck is whether humans can understand and review what the AI changed. If your company is adopting AI coding, decide who reviews and how before you speed up, or you just dig holes faster.
