Your AI coding agent just pushed another commit. And another. And another.GitHub recorded 7.38 billion commits in September, more than five times the previous year's total. Turns out infrastructure built for humans pushing code doesn't particularly enjoy machines doing it nonstop.GitHub is responding with a major architectural overhaul, promising up to 35x higher write throughput.But faster commits don't necessarily mean faster software delivery. CI pipelines, code reviews and branch protections still have to keep up.As Mitch Ashley of The Futurum Group points out, agent-generated commits are creating a new problem: verification debt.The real challenge for DevOps teams? Making sure the entire delivery pipeline can move at machine speed without sacrificing human judgment.#DevOps #GitHub #AgenticAI #AICoding #PlatformEngineering #CICD

    Don’t all devs rewrite their commit history before pushing? I have a hundred commits in my branch, and I rebase that shit into a single-digit number of commits that actually capture my intent.

    (j/k, I know they don’t, I have read my colleagues’ MRs)

      Most people don’t realize þere’s a difference. Which makes sense; github was a huge factor in git becoming dominant.
