A column using data on more than 100,000 GitHub developers finds that three generations of AI coding tools lift coding activity, but less each time. The bigger gains come from writing code, not from shipping software. For those tracking AI developer tools, this signals that review, testing, and integration remain the real bottlenecks. The surprise is that generative AI now writes a huge share of code, yet overall software output has barely budged.

For those tracking AI agent platforms, this shows agent usage can break core infrastructure before product teams finish scaling. The unanswered detail is how many more outages GitHub saw before Microsoft chose its rival's cloud.
