I wonder if GitHub is feeling the crush of fully automated development workflows? Must be a crazy number of commits now to personal repos that will never convert to paid orgs.
- 1f60c 8mo agoIME this all started after MSFT acquired GitHub but well before vibe coding took the world by storm. ETA: Tangentially, private repos became free under Microsoft ownership in 2019. If they hadn't done that, they could've extracted $4 per month from every vibe coder forever(!)
- dizhn 8mo agoIs someone who is not really using github's free service losing something important?
- _heimdall 8mo agoAs an individual, likely not. As a team or organization there are nice benefits though.
- globular-toast 8mo agoWhy would every vibe coder necessarily use private repos? IIRC they were kinda forced to make private repos free because competitors like Gitlab had it and they felt threatened.
- reactordev 8mo agoThis is the real scenario behind the scenes. They are struggling with scale.
- zero_shift 8mo agoHow much has the volume increased, from what you know?
- reactordev 8mo agoOver 100x is what I’m hearing. Though that could just be panic and they don’t know the real number because they can’t handle the traffic.
- zero_shift 8mo agoOne hundred? Did I read that right?
- reactordev 8mo agoThere’s a huge up tick in people who weren’t engineers suddenly using git for projects with AI. This is all grapevine but yeah, you read that right.
- 9cb14c1ec0 8mo agoYes, millions of people running code agents around the clock, where every tiny change generates a commit, a branch, a PR, and a CI run.
- neuropacabra 8mo agoI simply do not believe that all of these people can and want to setup a CI. Some maybe, but even after the agent will recommend it only a fraction of people would actually do it. Why would they?
- dmix 8mo agoGithub CI is extremely easy to set up and agents can configure it from the local codebase.
- cactusplant7374 8mo agoCodex did it automatically for me without asking.
- ncruces 8mo ago
- winddude 8mo agoI was wondering about that the other day, the sheer amount of code, repos, and commits being generated now with AI. And probably more large datasets as well.
- dwoldrich 8mo agoLive by the AI Agent hype, die by the AI Agent crush.
- multisport 8mo agoNo, its because they are in the middle of a AWS->Azure migration, and because they cannot/will not be held accountable for downtime.
