I read it yesterday and had a discussion on Git Discord. The author believes people will slop Google-scale repos and Google-type SCM is needed now.
Some say a USB-C cable has more computing power than the Apollo program, so maybe.
Banks, airlines, power infra, and other high-stakes customers got computerized in the 60s and 70s. IBM still holds a chunk of that market. Microsoft and Google are not going anywhere. So I guess all that slop will serve something less critical than all of the above.
My Claude says that a decent cable has an ARM Cortex-M0 running at tens of MHz, while the Apollo Guidance Computer was 1MHz. I am afraid to think what a charger packs.

USB-C charger, not cable.

I find that hard to believe, but maybe it's just that the speed of the technical progress is way too fast nowadays. :)
