# GitHub

## Reference

The largest code-hosting platform (github.com).

## Role in this source

Mentioned in two ways:

1. As the platform where the **number of code projects is exploding** due to AI generation — evidence for the [[concept-production-comprehension-gap]] at population scale.
2. As a traditional but **insufficient** way to 'work in the open' via PRs. The speaker argues GitHub PRs must be augmented with [[concept-explanation-artifact]]s; otherwise they merely add to noise.

## Connection to framework

GitHub is the natural surface for principle #4 of [[framework-5-principles-ai-era]] (work in the open) when paired with shipped explanation artifacts.

## External alignment

Adjacent tooling like GitHub Spec Kit explicitly extends GitHub workflows toward spec-driven development — closing the gap the speaker identifies.
