Patel argues companies cannot pause to measure ROI because experimentation is the only path to finding AI value.
“So how one say, oh, pause, let me measure value, when trying a bunch of stuff is the only way you can actually get to figuring out where the value is versus what doesn't work?”
Patel reports Claude Code doubled to 4% of GitHub commits in January alone, with overall AI coding likely at 10%.
“Just in this month just in January, it went from 4% of or 2% of commits on GitHub to 4% of GitHub commits were done by Cloud Code.”
Patel notes 2% of GitHub commits are AI-generated against $2 trillion in global software wages.
“You can disable that where it's not automatically committed. But 2% of GitHub commits today are Cloud Code. $2,000,000,000,000 of software wages paid in the world.”
