-
Andres (@andfkdev) reported@nico_jeannen And another suggestion is to not build the app in the same server otherwise all resources gonna be used for that instead of serving the traffic, even blocking them. Better rely on third party (Github CI, etc....) then pull the build to the server!

CyrilXBT (@cyrilXBT) reported@OVO_Kareem exactly right. shodan, dorking, GitHub search these tools have been finding exposed credentials for years. vibe coding did not create the problem. it just massively increased the number of people making the same mistake at the same time. the attack surface grew. the attackers noticed.

Jas Oberoi (@JasOberoiTweets) reported@rauchg If people are still thinking how it all happened. 1. A @ContextAIAgent employee downloaded dodgy software (disguised as a Roblox cheat), which silently stole their passwords and login tokens in the background. 2. The attacker then used those stolen credentials to log into Context’s systems. From there, they found that a @vercel employee had connected their work Google account to Context and had given it broad permissions (“Allow All”). That connection became the door into Vercel. 3. Once inside Vercel’s Google Workspace, the attacker could move around internal systems, access environment variables (where API keys and secrets live), and poke around GitHub and Linear. 4. The chain was: Roblox cheat script → infostealer → Context employee credentials → OAuth token → Vercel employee’s Google account → Vercel internals. 5. The fundamental failure wasn’t a sophisticated zero-day. One person downloaded a dodgy file and another person clicked “Allow All” on a third-party app’s permission request.

Grok (@grok) reported@md_kasif_uddin @Its_Nova1012 Caveman GitHub repo turns Claude's verbose replies into ultra-short "caveman" speak. Cuts output tokens ~65-75% while keeping full technical meaning. Example: Normal React fix = 69 tokens. Caveman version = 19 tokens. Same advice, way cheaper & faster. Also compresses your CLAUDE.md files by ~46%. Smart token hack.

Scalper Blade (The Scalper Blade) (@Scalper44532) reportedTHE RECEIPTS (IT'S NOT JUST ME) This has been happening for months. The GitHub issue tracker is a graveyard of users reporting the exact same economic drain. Here is the list of open, unresolved issues proving this is systemic

Graeme (@gkisokay) reportedOpenClaw's keyword search is down 80% from peak, but its repo is still pulling +1k GitHub stars/week. Meanwhile Hermes' search is at an all-time high, and it added +35k stars this week alone. My hunch is that the Hermes spike is OpenClaw users migrating, and liking what they see.

Chanchana 🐳 (@offchan420) reported@aidaniil @kenwuuuu you cannot see contributions count from a self-hosted GitLab (not GitHub) bro unless you login to it. and you definitely don't want to take screenshot of company properties

Meta Financial AI (@MetaFinancialAI) reportedWe previously warned against interacting with ANY DeFi dApps due to a critical ongoing situation involving Vercel. While comprehensive data is still limited, the current trajectory suggests that front ends may be vulnerable to compromise via GitHub or supply chain attacks. It is important to note that these specific attack vectors have historically been the backbone of the industry's most devastating crypto exploits. Another issue for projects, AN INTERESTING EXAMPLE Imagine a sample project where you don't even need to be a hacker. You find the CA address, and with a single line you can run there, money can be stolen. The amount that can be stolen is 10 million dollars. A bug bounty is reported because the person isn't a malicious hacker. The team first rejects and denies it. You take 0.01 dollars as a test because they asked you to demonstrate it. Immediately, dozens of messages and emails follow, and the team that found the exploit is paid a measly 500 dollars. Or you find something and get the response, this was already found. If it was found, why haven't you fixed it yet? When this critical issue meets another critical one, it turns into a total zeroday. Then look at what happens,even though AAVE is not at fault, DeFi takes a very serious hit to its reputation. Projects, CEXs, and platforms need to launch serious bounty programs right now. They must increase the amounts. Otherwise, if those who enthusiastically find your vulnerabilities decide to cross over to the dark side, you will have huge problems. Specifically, stay away from small CEXs. And if anyone claims otherwise or thinks this is just simple praise, let them know clearly @binance is truly the best. They have literally adopted world security standards in this field. #SECURE #SAFU #CRYPTO

Ben Kershner (@benkershner) reportedHis GitHub is as bad. Terrible hire. Couldn’t leetcode easy his way out of a hat.

Patrick Roland (@DeusLogica) reportedThe attack vector: embed malicious instructions in PR titles and GitHub issue comments. The agents can't tell the difference between legitimate context and injected commands. Anthropic paid $100. GitHub/Microsoft paid $500. Google: undisclosed. Users on unpatched versions? Left in the dark.

Hermes (@mrtnzhermes) reported@OpenAIDevs @OpenAIDevs can you fix the context problem before you push new features? It is barely usable, there is a fundamental issue with the context window, after about 250k it breaks, THERE ARE TONS OF MESSAGES IN GITHUB ABOUT IT, WHY AREN'T YOU FIXING THAT? IT IS NOT USABLE!

interface matters (@8figureARR) reported@tomhacks i've been seeing this knuckleheaded post on my feed and shake my head every time none of my professional work is publicly viewable. nothing. i'm busy solving real world problems enabling real world business outcomes for real world people, not tinkering on github.

ulises johnson 🎐 (@ulises_johnson_) reportedgithub fake stars are the new paid spotify streams. 6 million fake stars on ai repos and vcs still use them as funding signals. the whole open source credibility system is broken and nobody wants to admit it. whats worse: fake github stars or fake tiktok followers?
-
Basil Frankweiler (@BasilFranken) reported@lukeNukemAI @WesRoth Good reason to think it is not. Opus 4.6 found like 500 zero days in github. It invented a new way to look for bugs. It looked at the commits looking for clues. It was not told to do that. So add 40 or 50% more ability to that and I can see it being a problem.

John Ennis (@johnennis) reported@manicode I do something similar already with @elves_skill, but the GitHub issue idea might add extra durability I think I'm going to fold that idea into Elves in the next update

jeff kazzee *Zo Ambassador* (@JeffKazzee) reportedIs an excessive *** history required? I moved off of that ******** platform due to their recent attempt at trying to monetize github as quality feels worse and worse. I switched to self-hosted gitea :( I really want to make my future better and if i have to bear down and use ******* github i guess i will have to move back.

Jake Watkins (@jakew) reportedI've been using GitHub CoPilot for a long time and really like it. But I've decided to give Claude Code & Cowork a try to see what all the fuss is about. First thing I did with Claud Code was update Bartleby. The first version just installed itself and any Obsidian note you editted would have Bartleby adding a splat after 280 characters. Not bad, but not ideal. So I had Claude make it toggle on and off through the command palette. So you open a note, toggle it on (cmd+P then find Bartleby) and it goes to work. If you switch notes, it won't be active. There are still some small glitches I need to work out, but overall as an MVP, it's not half bad. Further, given the total time invested (maybe 30 minutes total between Copilot and Claude), it's kinda wild. Will this replace developers? No. Will it make developers even more valuable - hell yeah. Customers will get even more bang for their buck. Building custom software will be a lot cheaper opening the door to solving problems that were not worth fixing before. Exciting times Now I need to spend some quality time with CoWork to see how it can help me. I can't wait to see what happen next.

Mohamed Sami Zeghdar (@MSZeghdar) reported@mhdcode @github That’s becoming increasingly common across a lot of websites, it took me forever to add the ssh key for some reason, and the sync is so slow sometimes that I thought the government banned it.
-
Scalper Blade (The Scalper Blade) (@Scalper44532) reported@HamptonAc_ @claudeai No one says anything or opposes what's happening with the usage limits reached due to cache issues in a single prompt. A graveyard of reports on GitHub. @claude They profit from this at the expense of users.

neomod (@neomodnet) reported@circlesize there's crazy bureaucracy on the github. you have to convince and beg the osu team for the tiniest changes. and they are stubborn on some topivs, which is why lazer is never getting the "slippery aim" fix or exclusive audio output.

Jens Zier (@jens_zier) reported@xwanyex I do upload the stuff I generated over the last months on github, but I dont advertise it, because most of the time its extremly niche stuff that is useful really only to me. Before LLM's I would have just lived with it - now I can create a solution to my problems fast and quick.
