Maybe it's the demand side? With remote work, the intensity of usage went up at least in our company as we rely more on written communication. At the same time, some people will use the time to start side projects or get into programming.
On the other hand, shouldn't there be a productivity drop with so many people working from home while their kids also aren't in school? I'd expect that to offset any increase in demand—after all, Git isn't Slack; remote work shouldn't cause people to push all that much more often, right?
Depends... I'm getting about 40% more done, with fewer interruptions, and not having a couple hours of commute and lunch driving.
