The integration of GitHub’s Copilot, into software development has been gradual. In June 2022, Copilot generated 27% of the code for developers using it, which increased to 46% by February 2023.
As of August 2024, GitHub Copilot has approximately 2 million paying subscribers and is utilized by over 77,000 organizations. An increase from earlier figures; in February 2024, Copilot had over 1.3 million paid subscribers, with more than 50,000 organizations using the service.
The transition from traditional waterfall methodologies to agile practices began in the early 2000s, with agile approaches becoming mainstream over the next decade. Similarly, the shift from monolithic architectures to microservices started around 2011, with widespread adoption occurring over the subsequent 5 to 10 years.
Assuming AI tools taking 5 years to become commonplace and leading to consistent 3x productivity gain (to use a more conservative number than the 5x/10x, but still high) this would lead to a nominal productivity gain of 25% per year. Significant, but not that trivial to clearly see.
