> Github is struggling because AI-boosted coding increased the number of commits 14x in the past year, OK so then use the additional revenue to add more resources and employees? What the f*k are they doing over there?

What revenue do AI-boosted commits provide? Am I missing something?

  You're missing the fact that Microsoft reported over $331 billion in total revenue and an operating income exceeding $155 billion - this is a fixable problem. If they're really that cash-strapped at GitHub, then are they planning to just continue allowing this to happen and drown, or fix the issues? This has been ongoing for over a year.

    So why did all the Azure and Github engineers leave then? There's only management and outsourced cheap labor there, and management has no idea. Cheap labor even less

Is there additional revenue from a bunch of people pushing their vibe-coded stuff up to Github?

  > What revenue I'd assume at least a portion of them are paying for GitHub Pro, and by now at least a small % would have converted to Enterprise. If not, then they need to fix their operational model - I don't understand people acting like this is some insurmountable challenge given Microsoft reported over $331 billion in total revenue and an operating income exceeding $155 billion in 2026.

    Changing the operating model can be surprisingly tough for an established business. Imagine the outcry if they started charging per git push, for example. Clearly, something needs to change. But if they're not careful they might provoke a reaction from their existing userbase that's even more negative that the response to these outages.

      > can be tough Of course it can - everything is tough at that scale, but their parent company has billions in profit. They've had a year to come up with a plan/fix and have failed miserably.

      Sure, but max 100 pushes per day per account? Or should it be higher?
