-
Bob (Moderna #8) Kerns (@BobKerns) reported@valigo @LTE_Max I was expecting it was written in lisp; turns out it was written assembly, and I was looking in the wrong directory. It was easy to search for it on GitHub; back then I'd have had to write a very slow program.

Rohit (@Spacing_Whale) reportedIt's been so long since I have worked on or built anything. No ideas are coming to my mind, and neither do I have the motivation to build it and let it rust on Github. I am becoming dumb, with no problems to challenge. Every day goes by, applying, binging yt, tv. regretting............
-
Mauricio Rubio 🎧 (@_mauriciorubio) reported@coreyhainesco Cool Corey, but why the hell are you using the GitHub favicon on your marketing skills website? It is the second time I see a Founder plagiarising branding from another company this week. First I saw a guy using Vercel’s favicon, brought it to his attention said he would fix it, never did. Now this.
-
Crystal Dev. (@madebycrystal) reportedI've run into some minor issues with my project development. I tried decrypting Bitlocker (which I didn't even enable), but it ended up corrupting my D partition, and I had to format it to zero. The project was on D. But don't worry, my OSP project is on GitHub.
-
Kodshn (@kodshn) reportedI get that all these problems are just my own, and @github or any company wouldn't care. But with the CoPilot, I really had the ability to bring my vision to reality and truly use AI to do something which would have taken months and years for myself to learn and then do. 8/11
-
Matias Lapolla (@matiasdev_) reported@zeddotdev Stop randomly crashing on linux (currently: I’m with cachyos with kde). There is (or was) some issue on your github repo
-
ナカムラ|AIコーディング (@study_unnatural) reported@thsottiaux As already reported in a GitHub issue, Codex cannot perform any *** operations, such as "commit," when used on Windows.
-
Wayan (@wayanhq) reportedClosing 4,000 old GitHub issues overnight sounds small until you remember how much open source work dies in the inbox. I think AI agents will win here before they win coding. Not by being brilliant. By being relentless. Who checks the bot?
-
Vulnerable U (@vuln_u) reportedUnlike basic data theft, it encrypts and sends data to an external server, and if that fails, it pivots to GitHub creating repos, abusing tokens, and even pulling secrets from CI environments. If version 2026.4.0 is installed, assume everything on that machine is compromised.
-
The Untraceable (@untraceable_the) reportednew startup idea: github but users have to do a leetcode problem before allowing access #KickTheNormiesOffGithub

☷ = ☰ (@savov) reported@fastml_extra @NarutoNolimits Well github is down, so...
-
Paweł Huryn (@PawelHuryn) reported6 free GitHub repos for Claude Code Can save you $100/mo. vercel-labs/agent-browser ~82% fewer tokens than Playwright. Accessibility tree, not screenshots. rtk-ai/rtk Their claim: 60-90% on common dev commands. 20-30% in my workflow. juliusbrussee/caveman Terse-output skill. Drops conversational filler from responses. tirth8205/code-review-graph Claimed up to 49× fewer tokens on daily coding. AST map. Gronsten/claude-usage-monitor Real-time 5-hour window + active session tokens. Know your cap inline. phuryn/claude-usage Historical breakdown by session, day, week. Where the spend went & what to fix.

kegashin (@kegashin) reportedgithub paused copilot signups because it turns out agents dont just suggest code they sit there burning compute for minutes straight the $10/month era was priced for autocomplete not for something that plans, edits, runs tests, fails, retries, and loops until it either solves the problem or hits the token limit this is the first real sign that ai coding tools are going to reprice hard. the product got 10x better but the cost structure got 100x worse. someone has to pay for that and its not going to be github eating it forever
-
Gergely Orosz (@GergelyOrosz) reported@ryanzip Wait - GitHub says they’ve fixed the issue and contacted every impacted customer They say they’ve know exactly how many PRs impacted: so I assumed contacting customers would have meant they share those specific PRs as well? Something doesn’t add up
-
Kishore Neelamegam (@indykish) reported@gdb A simple experiment with markdown. I found a painpoint where on deploy failures, ask my agent to look at it and fix them using playbook or understand the failure. A markdown-defined, durable, BYOK zombie agent that owns one operational outcome - wakes on a GitHub Actions deploy failure, gathers evidence, posts a diagnosis to your Slack or chat.
-
Felix Allistar (@FelixAllistar) reported@kr0der subagents + github. OAI models already do a mini review at the end of large turns, and i've found a clean context window is less likely to say that its fine now, because it already said it was fine last turn. issue was really bad in -codex models, and 5.5 feels like a hybrid. subagents=new chat, it uses the same thing as /review but lets it stay pinned to your parent megathread.
-
Luca Rossi ꩜ (@lucaronin) reported@vr4300 can you check if the issue has been reported already and in case it's not open it up in github issues copying the diagnostics? 🙏 you can do so from the contribute panel bottom right in the app
-
Gregor (@bygregorr) reported@github @acolombiadev Shipped the "graceful degradation" part wrong once. Users got raw API errors in the UI and I lost three that week.
-
Matthew Tse (@MatthewTse_) reportedAnyone else notice that pull request videos in @github take FOREVER to load now? i'm on gigabit ethernet and it's 2 minutes to load a 6mb file never used to be this bad, another symptom of github perf issues
-
Eleftheria Batsou (@BatsouElef) reported@orchidcode Ungate solving the Cursor subscription issue is smart. How has the GitHub reception been?
-
Utah teapot 🫖 (@SkyeSharkie) reported@VoidNulled @comma_ai I mean, it's usually pretty weird to let an open source software that I downloaded off GitHub into a phone-like device drive my car for me, so I get how it might have trouble catching on, but I love this thing.
-
QueztLabs (@QueztLabs) reported2/8 The problem I was solving: During interview prep I had 6-7 tabs open constantly — LeetCode, ChatGPT, docs, GitHub, Excalidraw, YouTube... Context switching was killing my focus. So I put everything inside one desktop app.
-
Nick (@nickneely00) reported@wesbos Make it flash when GitHub is down
-
Sam Tobin-Hochstadt (@samth) reportedIt is certainly true that GitHub has had reliability problems in recent years, more than before they had so many different products. But the change for the core *** product is small and the things that are down a lot are different and more challenging.
-
Raph Soeiro (@raphaelsoeiro) reportedPeople can vote with zero login. No accounts. No friction. No extra database. No third-party SaaS. Just a thin layer on top of your existing GitHub workflow. Exactly how I like it.
-
Mars (@meetmars2100) reportedGitHub didn't just add features. They shipped Copilot Agent Mode. It drafts implementation plans. Executes across your entire codebase. Self-heals by running tests and fixing its own errors. You don't write the code. You approve the plan.
-
Axel Bitblaze 🪓 (@Axel_bitblaze69) reportedif you see posts like this, top 10 repos that "print money while you sleep" and install all of them then you’re wasting your tokens, a quick reality check: these github repos don't print money. workflows do. these repos are just the tools. you still have to wire them into something that solves a real problem you have. like the ones from the list i actually run since past few weeks are > hyperframes - generate reels from prompts. saves me 2 hours per video > fincept terminal - open source bloomberg, running locally > agentic inbox - email automation that doesn't suck (cloudflare built this) > camofox browser - the stealth browser for serious scraping and what i'd add to the list > claude-mem for persistent memory across claude code sessions (46k stars in 48h) > last30days-skill to scrape reddit/x/youtube for any topic in one prompt > anthropic skills repo for production-grade skill templates good post below but install based on actual workflows you want to automate, not the promise of passive income.

Ryan Prasad (@ryanprasad_ai) reportedIt's very safe. Its a read-only MCP server. Could have this spun up in a few hours. But its not ambitious. Or bold, like the podcast was. That was a cool project. It even got a star on GitHub! We can do better... but how?
