 GitHub Changes the Game: Copilot Moves to Usage-Based Billing While everyone is discussing AGI, GitHub is quietly making a move that will turn the AI coding market upside down. Starting June 1, Copilot switches to billing based on AI Credits — you pay for what you actually use. For indie developers and startups, this could be both a blessing and a blow. In the fresh digest from GitHub Blog (May 1), there are three more things I wouldn't recommend missing: - **Critical RCE in git push pipeline** — found, fixed, and confirmed no exploitation within 2 hours. How? Read the original — it's a masterclass in security response. - **Agent-driven development** — an engineer from Copilot Applied Science used coding agents to automate part of their work. And yes, they wrote agents that write agents. Meta. - **eBPF for safe deployment** — GitHub uses eBPF to detect cyclic dependencies in real time. If you're still deploying blindly — maybe it's time. Plus: new search architecture for GitHub Enterprise Server, AI automation of accessibility feedback, and a Markdown tutorial for beginners (yes, that's needed too). I saved the entire digest in my notes. If anyone needs it, just ask. #GitHub #Copilot #DevTools #AI #eBPF #Security
