GitHub reveals new architecture: simplified primitives, decoupled storage, minimal coordination

From the GitHub Universe stage, a session broke down GitHub's new architecture from first principles:
- Simplify the primitives: build on basics like Azure Blob Storage
- Decouple storage from compute
- Minimize coordination: for scale and demand across agents and developers, cutting coordination overhead (cache-centric design)
The poster praises the first-principles breakdown and execution.
