This year, Kyle Daigle expects that number to exceed 14 billion, a two-component explosion caused by more humans—and their agents—issuing pull requests. In March alone, 17 million pull requests on GitHub were created by agents.\nDaigle is the COO of GitHub and Microsoft’s chief marketing officer for developer products. He’s been at GitHub for 13 years, and is paying close attention to how AI is expanding the platform’s user base. Along with agents, legal, sales, and marketing professionals are building apps with the GitHub Copilot app. The line between developer and non-developer is disappearing.\nOn this episode of AI & I, guest host Mike Taylor sat down with Daigle at Microsoft Build to discuss how GitHub is building infrastructure for an agent-native world: agentic code review, model routers that automatically select the right model for the task, and a philosophy that the most durable advantage in this market is developer choice.\nIf you found this episode interesting, please like, subscribe, comment, and share!\nWant even more?\nTo hear more from Mike Taylor:\nSubscribe to Every: https://every.to/subscribe\nFollow him on X: https://x.com/hammer_mt\nTimestamps for YouTube:\n00:00:52: Introduction\n00:03:27: The agentic PR flood\n00:04:33: GitHub's approach to helping open-source maintainers manage the surge\n00:06:15: What 14 billion commits means for code quality\n00:08:03: Moving from per-seat licensing to usage-based pricing\n00:09:45: Kyle's dual role as GitHub COO and Microsoft's chief marketing officer for developers\n00:13:03: Developer choice as competitive moat\n00:14:57: How to balance dogfooding your own tools with staying honest about the competition\n00:19:45: Hill climbing, frontier tuning, and solving the model-routing problem\n00:24:45: Kyle's agentic communication hack\nLinks to resources mentioned in the episode:\nKyle Daigle on X: https://x.com/kdaigle\nMike Taylor on Every: https://every.to/@mike_2114\nMike’s...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/tpm1hNSy8JXTtPDypo5McPF0S6eDqruRTGYywu9SVrc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yNDM2/YzU4NDNmYTQxNTJh/MTEzYjE4YmJmYTg5/ODY1NS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
