No its not. 121M repos added on github in 2025, and overall they have 630 million now. There is probably at best 2x increased in output (mostly trash output), but no where near 100x

Yes, millions of people running code agents around the clock, where every tiny change generates a commit, a branch, a PR, and a CI run.

I simply do not believe that all of these people can and want to setup a CI. Some maybe, but even after the agent will recommend it only a fraction of people would actually do it. Why would they?
reply
But if you setup CI, you can pick up the mobile site with your phone, chat with Copilot about a feature, then ask it to open a PR, let CI run, iterate a couple of times, then merge the PR.

All the while you're playing a wordle and reading the news on the morning commute.

It's actually a good workflow for silly throw away stuff.

Github CI is extremely easy to set up and agents can configure it from the local codebase.

Codex did it automatically for me without asking.

There’s a huge up tick in people who weren’t engineers suddenly using git for projects with AI.

This is all grapevine but yeah, you read that right.
