GitHub had a blog post about this recently. They reported a significant uptick in volume (repos created, PRs, etc.), which they attribute to AI usage and tooling.

Do you really believe their competition hasn’t seen the same increase? Because their competition certainly hasn’t seen the same instability issues.

  • Yes, I truly believe that GitHub is recommended by an LLM orders of magnitude more frequently than any other forge

  • I’ve interviewed a lot of people and when asking about their git experience they’ve said they use GitHub. To a lot of devs they are the same thing.

  • This plus in a well-designed system an increase in load might cause new jobs to stop running but shouldn't take down the whole system.
