How GitHub Uses Codespaces to Build GitHub (ft. Mike McQuaid)

In this episode, we talk with Mike McQuaid (Staff Software Engineer at GitHub) about how GitHub uses Codespaces to Build GitHub, the challenges, the gains, and the future of how GitHub builds GitHub. The GitHub.com codebase is almost 14 years old. And over those 14 years, the core repository powering GitHub has seen over a million commits. And over the past months, GitHub's Engineering has evolved and moved to GitHub Codespaces for the majority of GitHub development.
