Multiple companies are trying to create new versioning primitives/architectures which can handle machine-level code generation - 1 commit per second per repo.
It's like switching from horse buggies to automobiles, the whole worlds needs re-architecturing to handle the new load.
The age of boutique hand-coding is being replaced by the age of industrial software factories.
This is not a particularly novel level of scale. Facebook's mercurial backend had to handle >5,000 developers committing to the singular monorepo long before LLMs were a thing
Is the scaling issue with git or github?
Your choice is to accept the product that exists on the market, switch to another product that exists on the market (such as Codeberg or self-hosted Forgejo), make your own product, or not use any.
It was just yesterday [0] that GA was down and another incident today? I am convinced that Copilot and Tay.ai are destroying GitHub and there is no CEO of GitHub to contact.
Now will you please self-host as I said 6 years ago? [1]
