Two months ago, revisiting Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s year-prior prediction that AI would soon be writing 90+ percent of all programming code, I wrote:

But where I think Amodei’s remarks, quoted above, are facile is that it hasn’t played out as simply that lines of code that would have been written by human programmers are now generated by AI models. That’s part of it, for sure. But what’s revolutionary — a topic I’ve been posting about twice already today — is that AI code generation tools are being used to create services and apps and libraries that simply would not have been written at all before. It may well be that the total number of lines of code that will be written by people today isn’t much different from the number of lines of code that were written by people a year ago. But there might be 10× more code generated by AI than is written by people today. Maybe more. Maybe a lot more? And a year or two or three from now, that might be 100× or 1,000× or 100,000×.

In that near future, human programmers are likely still to be writing — or at least line-by-line reviewing and approving — code. But as a percentage of all code being generated, that will only be a sliver.

Early in April we kind of got a number we can assign to this: 14×. GitHub COO Kyle Daigle posted on Twitter/X (alternative link):

Yup, platform activity is surging. There were 1 billion commits in 2025. Now, it’s 275 million per week, on pace for 14 billion this year if growth remains linear (spoiler: it won’t.)

GitHub Actions has grown from 500M minutes/week in 2023 to 1B minutes/week in 2025, and now 2.1B minutes so far this week.

OpenClaw, one of the fastest-growing open source projects, has already picked up over 350,000 stars and an early community of builders exploring what agentic systems can actually do in practice.

That’s why, on June 3, 2026, we are hosting OpenClaw: After Hours at GitHub HQ in San Francisco. The event will take place during Microsoft Build 2026.

This evening is a chance to bring the OpenClaw community together into the same room.

We’ll kick things off in the early evening with a fireside conversation featuring Peter Steinberger, the ClawFather and creator of OpenClaw, followed by a panel with OpenClaw maintainers and ecosystem builders sharing what’s working—and what’s not—when shipping real agentic systems.

Later in the evening, we’ll move into a series of fast-paced lightning talks and close things out with a relaxed happy hour to connect with other builders.

If you have been following the project or building with it yourself, this is a good chance to meet others, trade notes, and get your claws into what people are actually shipping.

👉 For the full agenda and speaker lineup, please see the registration page.

📍 GitHub HQ, 275 Brannan St., San Francisco
🗓 June 3, 5:30 p.m. – 9 p.m.
📺 Livestream: twitch.tv/github

Drinks and snacks will be provided. There will be a lot here to chew on. No shellfish behavior please. And bring your sharp ideas!

Spots are limited, so register early and come ready to share what you are working on.

‼️ Please note: Submitting a registration does not guarantee attendance. We’ll follow up to confirm successful registrations.

What is OpenClaw?

OpenClaw is an open source framework for building and running agentic systems, focused on giving developers real control over how agents execute tasks in the wild. It provides the core pieces for orchestrating tools, managing state, and handling long running workflows, so you can move beyond prompt demos and ship systems that actually do work. It’s also probably convinced more than a few people to buy a Mac Mini just to run “one small experiment” that somehow turned into a permanent setup.

We're RETVRNing, everyone.

I really don't know how to feel about this one.
