Code Storage by the Pierre Computer Company

Git-for-bots drops; commenters ask: why pivot and what is this

TLDR: Pierre’s Code Storage promises fast, programmable “Git for machines” to support AI coding workflows. Commenters are split: some love the speed and new tricks, others question the pivot from their last product, doubt agent-only tools’ future, and dunk on the site’s look—raising real questions about features, trust, and staying power.

Pierre Computer Company just launched Code Storage, pitching it as “Git for machines” — a tool that lets apps spin up code folders on demand via a simple API and write files at sub‑second speed. But the crowd’s immediate vibe? Equal parts intrigued and eye-roll. One top comment boiled it down to “like normal git but for AI, bro,” capturing the feeling that this might be a shiny repackage of stuff developers already have.

The real drama: a pointed “why did you stop your original service?” from a curious user, stirring fears of a pivot without answers. Skeptics warn these “agent-only” startups could vanish once big players add their own bot layers, arguing real value is deeper features like CI/CD (automated testing and deployment) and PR workflows (code review), not just fast storage. Meanwhile, one commenter confessed, “no clue what this is,” while another roasted the site’s vibe as a “cryptic 2000s design,” denting trust. Supporters say the ephemeral branches, in-memory writes, and warm/cold storage sound perfect for AI copilots and codegen tools; they’ll be watching the status page, pricing (link), and those bold speed claims. Drama-meter: high; meme of the day: Git, but make it AI.

Key Points

  • Code Storage is an API-first Git infrastructure that enables programmatic repository creation and management.
  • The service offers ultra low-latency read/write operations and supports traditional and novel Git workflows (e.g., ephemeral branches, in-memory writes, cold storage, grep).
  • It targets high-scale AI and machine-driven workloads, claiming sub-second latencies compared to tens of seconds with alternatives.
  • Reliability is emphasized with a public status page for live uptime metrics, and security/compliance are core design priorities.
  • Pricing is available via a dedicated page; the team has 150+ years of distributed systems experience across major tech companies, and the CEO can be contacted at jacob@pierre.co.
