Yup, platform activity is surging. There were 1 billion commits in 2025. Now, it's 275 million per week, on pace for 14 billion this year if growth remains linear (spoiler: it won't.)

GitHub Actions has grown from 500M minutes/week in 2023 to 1B minutes/week in 2025, and now 2.1B minutes so far this week.

So we're pushing incredibly hard on more CPUs, scaling services, and strengthening GitHub’s core features.

And as a fine purveyor of hand-crafted shit code for many years, I'm not gonna weigh in on that. 🤣

@somuchembur @IncomeTaxIndia Were you able to resolve this issue? How? I am getting the same error

@ShaanVP And people who do this? They develop faster. They're basically crowdsourcing their blind spots - how INSANELY POWERFUL is that!

What about you - when's the last time criticism actually taught you something? Let me know.

[Abhineet Bansal 🌻 @AbhineetB]

@ShaanVP casually dropped something on MFM that took me 10+ months to figure out. And honestly? It's a game-changer.

He tells you how to: optimise for growth rather than being right.

@ShaanVP But here's the crazy part - even if the criticism is only 10% valid, extracting that 10% makes you better.

But if you dismiss it entirely because it's 90% unfair? You just missed a growth opportunity.

@matt_gray_ Thanks for sharing - really appreciate how open and generous you are with your knowledge.

Lately been thinking of what spirituality means to me. Looked up Alan Watts. What specifically are you listening to?

Dads are spending 3-4x as much time with their kids as their dads did with them.

When father figures are engaged, kids show better cognitive development, boys have fewer behavioral problems, and girls have fewer emotional problems.

Every child deserves strong parental bonds.

In order to grow, sometimes we have to stop.

Gene Editing has the potential to cure thousands of debilitating diseases and this story showcases practical application is now possible!

I really hope this takes off through a viable business model for widespread application.

[HHMI @hhmi_science]

A baby named KJ, who was born with a rare genetic disorder – CPS1 deficiency – is healed thanks to doctors at the @ChildrensPhila who administered the world’s first personalized gene-editing treatment. The research team used base editing, a gene-editing method invented by HHMI Investigator @davidrliu and his lab at @Harvard University in 2016.

Earlier this year, Liu received the @brkthroughprize for developing both base editing and prime editing. These gene-editing technologies enable the correction or replacement of virtually any genetic mutation, including those that cause countless human genetic diseases.

#OperationSindoor Lot of mis-information and fake news on twitter regarding the India-Pak conflict. Folks literally posting video game footage masqueraded as air combat ☠️

Discovered @AdityaRajKaul who seems to be reporting legit news

@tamramoroski Couldn’t agree more.

Future of sales isn’t about replacing sales reps with AI chatbots, but to empower them to make even more meaningful connections with their customers by automating the mundane part of their daily jobs.

@athikunte I believe AI agents in customer service is going to fail. Customers value human connection and being greeted by robots is never going to beat personal relationships. AI can improve the efficiency of a business in a million ways but customer relationships aint one of em
