The State of Open Source 2025 - Key Takeaways

GitHub recently published this year's Octoverse, the state of the open-source ecosystem.

Below are my key takeaways:

  1. AI doesn t replace developers it brings more people into the ecosystem. A new developer joined GitHub every second in 2025. Top 5 developer populations: 1. United States, 2. India, 3. China, 4. Brazil, 5. United Kingdom.

  2. Open source remains the foundation. Fastest-growing OSS projects by contributors include @Zen Browser, @VS Code, and AI-focused @Continue.

  3. TypeScript is now the most used language on GitHub, overtook both Python and JavaScript. The AI effect? 80% of new repositories used just six languages: Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, C++, and C#.

  4. Gen AI is now standard in development. 1.1M public repositories now use an LLM SDK.

  5. Agents are here. Coding agents created 1M+ pull requests (PR) in the last 6 months, and it's just getting started.

🔍 I built a tool that exposes scammy “make money online” YouTube videos — would love your feedback

Hey Product Hunt!

I ve always been annoyed by those I made $500/day YouTube videos
Some are helpful, but a HUGE number are overhyped, manipulative, or hiding affiliate funnels.

So I built TruthScore a free tool that analyzes any YouTube video and shows the hidden metrics YouTube doesn t show you:

Scam-style keywords
Hidden affiliate funnels & monetization patterns
Authentic vs suspicious engagement
Dislike ratio
Comment sentiment
Creator trust score
Sponsored content signals
