GitHub COO on AI 'Shit Code' overload that many users say has been degrading coding platform

GitHub COO Kyle Daigle has confirmed the platform is processing 275 million commits per week—up from one billion across all of 2025—as AI agent workflows overwhelm infrastructure never designed for autonomous coding. Two major incidents in April broke thousands of repositories, pushing uptime below 85 percent. Ghostty developer Mitchell Hashimoto, GitHub's 1,299th user, has since announced he's leaving the platform entirely.
