An engineer-investor shared his GitHub year in review: 5,151 contributions in the past year, roughly 90% of commits written by AI agents on his behalf, mainly across openai/codex and his own HackingWealth repos (81% commits, 18% PRs, 1% code reviews). He frames it as the "return on time" from super intelligence, arguing converging exponential curves in hardware, software and data mean this is just the beginning.
