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. 🤣
Pleased to share my favorite high-resolution capture of the Artemis II launch- the moment the SLS is clearing the tower, captured by a sound-triggered camera placed near the pad.
I'll have prints linked in my bio for this one, and here's a short thread about how it was captured
Last month my intern asked for help with a Kubernetes error.
He was stuck on a YAML file.
He looked desperate.
I make $275,000 a year.
I haven't written a line of code since 2017.
I don't even know what a "pod" is.
But I didn't tell him that.
I leaned back in my Herman Miller chair.
I said, "Stop trying to code. Start prompting."
I told him to paste the error into ChatGPT.
He did.
The AI told him to delete the cluster.
He did.
Production went down instantly.
The CEO called me screaming.
I didn't panic.
I told the CEO we were "testing our disaster recovery protocols."
He was impressed by my foresight.
I got a bonus.
The intern got fired.
Innovation requires sacrifice.
Just not mine.
