Software is not dead. It is about to be everywhere.

Earlier this year, GitHub COO Kyle Daigle said GitHub is now seeing 275M commits per week, versus about 1B commits in all of 2025. Annualized, that implies a pace of roughly 14.3B commits this year, or about 14x last year’s total.

It is not a perfect measure, but at GitHub’s scale, commits are a strong proxy for how much software is being created, updated, and shipped into the world.

The point is not whether the true number is 10x, 14x, or 20x.

The point is this: software creation is not slowing down. It is exploding.

This is Jevons Paradox playing out again.

When something foundational gets cheaper, demand does not go down. It usually goes up. We saw it with electricity. We saw it with computing. We saw it with connectivity.

Now we are seeing it with software.

As the cost of intelligence collapses, software becomes abundant. And when something becomes abundant, value does not disappear. It shifts.

Some of the most important companies of the next decade will be built for a world where software is abundant, not scarce.
