"Since April, monthly commits have grown from 1.4 billion to 2.9 billion. "
Wow, that is some incredible growth in a really short time.Truly incredible in every sense of the word.
Why is Github talking about number of commits here, and not pushes? Are there a lot of tools/people using github as an online editing platform?
It really is. I know I've gone from tens a month to thousands a month. They have to be projecting >100B/month in the next year or two.
Not sure to be honest, from a machine perspective 2X should never be a big deal, unless 1.4 was the threshold or sweet state and no one thought too much about scale and architecture beyond that
I mean if I set up a for loop spamming my own SAAS it would be incredible growth too
Not that impressive when you realize it's mostly due to AI slop
edit: AI actually writes 99.9% of my code these days. I'm just saying of course the number of commits to github is going to climb astronomically due to AI.
alot of distributed systems in big companies grow at this rate, its not exponential, its mundane
LOL, this kind of things will happen when projects like Bun (https://github.com/oven-sh/bun) are running on auto. :)
