AI is now writing 41% of all code globally.
What that actually means for you.
AI now generates 41% of all code globally, and GitHub Copilot serves 20 million users across 90% of Fortune 100 companies.
The bottleneck in building products has shifted. It’s no longer “can I write the code" — it’s “can I clearly define what I want to build."
By 2026, the bottleneck in building new products is no longer the ability to write code, but the ability to creatively shape the product itself. This shift is democratizing software development, leading to a tenfold increase in the number of creators who can now build applications and do higher-value, creative work.
For the builders in this group, especially the non-technical founders: this is the most significant unlock of the last few years. The ability to ship is no longer gated by engineering headcount.
That’s both an opportunity and a pressure. The bar for “but we need to hire a dev team first" as an excuse is gone.
