š Unlocking AIās Impact on Engineering Productivity š
Many wonder, if AI boosts engineersā productivity, why donāt we see it in public metrics like new GitHub repositories? I once shared this skepticism⦠until I delved into the data.
š Key Insights:
- Since December 2024, new repositories on GitHub have grown faster than ever, particularly post significant AI tool releases (e.g., Deepseek V3 and Claude Code).
- While the increase is intriguing, it doesnāt definitively prove a link between AI usage and repository growth.
- Commit data can be misleading; forking older repositories can inflate historical commit numbers. Yet, a closer look at recent activity shows promising growth.
š” Next Steps:
Iām compiling daily GitHub statistics to track these trends clearly on my newly launched GitHub Stats page.
