Graphite: The AI That Codes, Reviews, and Probably Dreams in Python

In a world where AI can do everything from writing your emails to choosing your Netflix shows, it was only a matter of time before it started ghostwriting your code. Enter Graphite, the AI-powered code review platform that's basically your new overachieving intern. Backed by Anthropic and a pile of cash so big it could buy a small island, Graphite is here to remind us that yes, even our code can be judged by a machine.

According to GitHub's latest poll, 'a vast majority' of developers have already adopted AI tools. But let's be honest, that's like saying 'a vast majority' of humans breathe air. It's not exactly groundbreaking. What's more shocking is Jared Friedman's claim that a quarter of YC’s W25 startup batch have 95% of their codebases generated by AI. That's right, folks, the future of startups is basically a room full of developers watching AI do their jobs while they sip overpriced lattes and argue about who has the best standing desk.

Graphite promises to not only write your code but also review it, which is kind of like having a robot that can both bake a cake and then critique its own baking skills. 'It's like having Gordon Ramsay in your IDE,' says one enthusiastic (and possibly over-caffeinated) developer. But let's not forget, this is the same AI that once wrote a function to calculate the Fibonacci sequence and then commented it with 'this should work, I think.'

VCs are, of course, throwing money at Graphite like it's a blockchain startup in 2017. The platform is poised to revolutionize how we think about coding, code reviews, and probably lunch breaks. Because who needs human interaction when you can have an AI that tells you your code is 'suboptimal' at 2 AM?

So, as we stand on the brink of a new era where AI writes, reviews, and possibly even dreams in code, let's take a moment to appreciate the irony. We've created machines that can do our jobs better than we can, and now we're paying them to tell us we're doing it wrong. Welcome to the future, where the robots are the bosses, and our only job is to keep them plugged in.
