What revenue? I'd assume the people pushing thousands of AI-generated commits are not the people paying for GitHub Enterprise.

> What revenue

I'd assume at least a portion of them are paying for GitHub Pro, and by now at least a small % would have converted to Enterprise.

If not, then they need to fix their operational model - I don't understand people acting like this is some insurmountable challenge given Microsoft reported over $331 billion in total revenue and an operating income exceeding $155 billion in 2026.

Changing the operating model can be surprisingly tough for an established business. Imagine the outcry if they started charging per git push, for example.

Clearly, something needs to change. But if they're not careful they might provoke a reaction from their existing userbase that's even more negative that the response to these outages.

		> can be tough Of course it can - everything is tough at that scale, but their parent company has billions in profit. They've had a year to come up with a plan/fix and have failed miserably.
