Found this reddit thread from a month ago that talks about the scale: Commit volume went from 1 billion total in all of 2025 to 275 million per week by earl

  Do you know how many thousands/millions of dollars that would cost to serve!? Microsoft has to spend more money on acquiring games studios for billions of dollars then shut them down.

    No idea about the cost. I do know that very few systems are designed to handle a 14x increase in traffic painlessly (275M*52 = 14.3B), especially at scale.

  Tracks with some of my internal metrics. There are certain projects I'm tracking (solo dev or a small team of a few people) doing 500k LoC changes _per week_. There's one project that caught my attention in particular because they had something like 800k commits and around 7 million lines of code... and they created the repo in _July_. Also, yes I checked, the repo gradually grew over time they didn't just splat it in the first commit.

    Bonkers. Almost a million commits in less than 2 months.

    Nad is that actually useful for something in the end ? Or just useless rewrites and insane code duplication/bundling/vendoring ?
    • mooreds 2mo ago
      This is the question.
