Latent Space: 'RIP Pull Requests (2005-2026)' — GitHub Now Allows Disabling PRs on Open Source Repos
Latent Space·medium signal
Latent Space reports that GitHub is allowing repository maintainers to disable pull requests for the first time in its history, signaling a potential end to the 21-year-old code review paradigm. The piece questions how long Git itself remains relevant as AI agents handle increasingly autonomous code changes. Combined with the 'tokenmaxxing' discourse, this reflects a broader reckoning: the tools and workflows built for human developers may not be the right ones for AI-assisted development.
