> In the repo where we're building the agent, the agent itself is actually the #5 contributor - so we really are using Copilot coding agent to build Copilot coding agent ;)
Thats a fun stat! Are humans in the #1-4 slots? Its hard to know what processes are automated (300 repos sounds like a lot of repos!).
Thank you for sharing the numbers you can. Every time a product launch is announced, I feel like its a gleeful announcement of a decrease of my usefulness. I've got imposter syndrome enough, perhaps Microsoft might want to speak to the developer community and let us know what they see happening? Right now its mostly the pink slips that are doing the speaking.
Humans are indeed in slots #1-4.
After hearing feedback from the community, we’re planning to share more on the GitHub Blog about how we’re using Copilot coding agent at GitHub. Watch this space!
Wonderful thank you! It’s just so hard to filter signal vs noise rn.
