More done + more leisure.
That's how it's sold, but have you heard about any major tech company that sends their worker home when they've achieved what they used to achieve pre-AI? EDIT: Instead of simply down-voting, you're welcome to name examples that proves me wrong ;)

So much more stuff and growing- what it is actually useful for ? Are we getting actually more done than with previous volumes or is it just all wasted energy?
I’m getting a lot more done. Hobby projects that languished for years are coming along great, at quality and depth I could never have found time for before.
Their Copilot cloud agent offering is suffering with a case of some of the worst corporate ADHD I've seen. We built a cloud agentic development pipeline on it, and it seems like almost every other week they silently change something with zero public announcement that creates real disruption for our team.
Note: that's not bugs in the Copilot platform like the article discusses. That's real, breaking changes to the platform that clearly aren't being tested/reviewed before being pushed to prod, with zero public announcement or documentation.
Support is useless – we're paying customers in the 4-5 figures and our tickets go unanswered.
I love(d) GitHub, but I do think they've lost enough public trust at this point that their time is ticking. With talk of new VCSes designed specifically for agents, I do believe it is just a matter of time. Which pains me somewhat to say.

Serious question: do you think your 6 year old is learning coding from prompting an AI? I have had excellent results from using AI, but it’s only because I understand what it is I’m asking it to look at, and know when it’s wrong. This is proven on a nearly daily basis at my job, where, with identical agents and prompts, I see designs being pushed with objectively incorrect facts, sub-optimal code in PRs, and a genera…
Coding is dead.

I mean, isn't that the dream? I don't know if that's sarcasm or not. I know it doesn't work , but that's the future we've been promised, right?
Why it doesn't work? It is working for me. It is working for bun. It is working for others who actually embraces it and puts in the work to get it working.

Sorry to suggest this but if they charged everyone say $1/mo. it would absolutely help the massive surge from AI coding they seem to have had. I don't like paying for free stuff but gh certainly worth it.

I have some big issues with this technology and the companies behind it, but I know of quite a few people personally who were not previously coders but have now been able to use LLMs to make their own custom software, solving real problems they had.
"Since April, monthly commits have grown from 1.4 billion to 2.9 billion. " Wow, that is some incredible growth in a really short time.
I feel it in my fingers. I feel it in my veins.

Other projects get unmaintained with maintainers burnt out by a torrent of vulberability reports
If it's not your job, then just ignore the reports.
If it's actually critical, someone will put money on the table and then it's a business. And then it's about scheduling and resourcing - also should not burn anyone out.
Just because many people have false sense of entitlement as soon as they get a free offering, it does not mean anyone needs to accommodate them.
