# Software change is outpacing the platforms built to understand it.


- **Date:** Thursday, Sep 24, 2026
- **Time:** 12:30–12:35 (5 min)
- **Room:** Outdoor Stage
- **Event:** World Congress 2026 North America

## Description

Atomic makes software changes queryable.

Atomic is source code management at the primitive level: a distributed, agent-native Git alternative. A single CLI brings semantic call graphs, enhanced code search, intents, attestations and provenance to every agent you already use, so every change keeps its origin, its reasoning, and its evidence

## Speaker

### [Lee Faus](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/@lee-faus)

Git was built for humans. I'm building what comes next.
