Between GitHub and Claude, it seems Eternal December[0][1] is upon us.
[0]I say December, because that's around the time the models got good enough that non-AI folks started to notice.

I don't really blame Anthropic here.
I couldn’t find any public data on GitHub, but Google Trends shows a sharp increase starting in December.
That could be in part to people complaining about the outages, but more people than ever are writing code with AI.
Hence the parallel to Eternal September – code volume is up, quality is down, and programming is never going to return to how it was (difficult for “normal” people to interface with).
