It’s also a huge call for innovation. When a student learns to code, (s)he doesn’t need to analyse millions of Git repositories to get good at it. Throughout their entire career most developers will probably only see comparatively little code. Perhaps the equivalent of the Linux kernel, if that. And yet, we’re able to learn from the little we see and get reasonably good at coding. It even stands to reason how much better one gets by reading more code (most of which is pretty crappy anyway).
