# Why Are You Shipping So Much?

[View media](<https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/pLK4NNMq2Ww>)

Graphify's founders [make the case](<https://graphify.com/blog/why-are-you-shipping-so-much>) that with coding agents, deciding what to build matters more than how much you ship. Commits, pull requests, and token counts are easy to collect, but they don't show whether the work was worth doing. Their test is whether the work did what it was supposed to do, which requires someone to have said up front what it was for.

They use the [Graphify](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/products/graphify>) repository as their example. It started from a public post about persistent knowledge graphs and was shaped afterward by user feedback on Reddit, X, and GitHub issues. They put the repo's commit history in a table. Commits went from 240 in April to 672 in October, and credited outside contributors went from 12 to 122. The share of commits written by the founder fell from 93% to 18%. They note that the themes in these numbers are read from commit messages, so they're approximate.

This is a concept piece about how the team thinks about shipping, not a feature release.
