-
Docsbook.io (@docsbook) reported@param20h @Obmondo @akshayktwt PDF-Assistant-RAG is one of those rare projects where the idea and execution both land. Problem is the docs are buried in GitHub — people bounce before they even understand what it does. Built a hosted docs site so the first impression actually sticks. Go take a look.

Top Stock Alerts (@TopStockAlerts1) reportedToo much downtime But under the added pressure, GitHub’s infrastructure has sagged. Since March, GitHub has suffered over a dozen incidents lasting more than an hour, according to its status page. “We have not met our own availability standards,” Vlad Fedorov, GitHub’s technology chief, wrote in a March blog post. At that time, 12.5% of GitHub traffic was going through a region of Microsoft Azure data centers in Iowa, with plans to serve 50% of traffic from Azure by July, he wrote. Instead of relying strictly on Azure, GitHub has for years counted on dedicated data center infrastructure in northern Virginia. With the extra load, GitHub effectively ran out of space, said two people familiar with the issue who asked not to be named in order to discuss internal matters. $MSFT

Yves (@gas0linr) reported@morganlinton No. GitHub is great. And I'm sure Cursor would suffer the same problem with load

Rizèl Scarlett 🇦🇬🇬🇾 (@blackgirlbytes) reported@wayneoflife I imagine GitHub is in between a rock and a hard place..so much legacy code that it’s hard to rebuild the product and solve the actual problem. But I’m not a fan of blocking contributions

CyrilXBT (@cyrilXBT) reportedANDREJ KARPATHY WROTE 65 LINES IN A CLAUDE.MD FILE AND IT JUST HIT NUMBER 1 ON GITHUB TRENDING. Coding accuracy jumped from 65% to 94%. Not a new model. Not a better subscription. 65 lines of plain text. Here is what that number actually means. 65% accuracy means one in three things Claude Code builds has a problem. 94% accuracy means almost everything it builds works the first time. That gap is the difference between Claude Code feeling like a powerful tool and Claude Code feeling like a senior engineer who knows your codebase. And Karpathy closed that gap with a text file. Here is why this works. Claude Code starts every session with zero context about your project, your standards, or how you want it to operate. Without a CLAUDE.md it makes assumptions. Reasonable assumptions compound into unreasonable outcomes across a complex build. With Karpathy's 65 lines it has rules. Think before you code. Make surgical changes. Simplicity first. Never assume. Verify. When uncertain ask. These are not complex instructions. They are the operating principles of every great engineer compressed into plain text that Claude reads before it touches your codebase. 65 lines. Number 1 on GitHub. 29% accuracy improvement. The entire Claude Code community has been trying to figure out why some setups feel transformative and others feel mediocre. Karpathy just answered the question in 65 lines and published it for free. Bookmark this before you open Claude Code today. Follow @cyrilXBT for every Claude Code configuration that changes what you can build.

Ashirwad Singh (@ashirwadsingh_) reported(7/9) what happens after an agent vents - Slack alert fires to the eng - A triage agent finds the broken - It opens a GitHub PR automatically - Engineer reviews and merges Around 10 agent-written PRs merge into production every single day. The platform fixes itself.

Nikhil sinha (@sinhaniik) reported5/5 HTTPS = HTTP + TLS. TLS doesn't just encrypt data — it also authenticates the server (so you know you're talking to the real GitHub, not a clone). The 🔒 icon means two things: → The connection is encrypted. → The server is who it claims to be. Most people know the first part. The second part is where the real security lives. Save this if you're building your infra fundamentals. Follow for more real DevOps breakdowns. 🔁

spb krishnan (@spbalaonline) reportedCockroach Party website taken down? Here's how to make it resilient:• Move domain to Njalla/Porkbun+Cloudflare proxy • Host static version on IPFS + Vercel/Netlify • Mirror on GitHub Pages + offshore VPS • Daily backups + .onion version Decentralize like real cockroach

EveryDev.ai (@EveryDevAi) reportedUnhandled promise rejections, silent failures, and retry logic scattered everywhere? Effect gives TypeScript a proper effect system: typed errors, structured concurrency, and built-in retries baked into your function signatures. 14k+ GitHub stars. Full ecosystem breakdown next. #DevTools
-
Jeffrey Emanuel (@doodlestein) reported@stevetrefethen @mrm008 If you have specific issues then with the latest version, you should file issues on GitHub that would be triaged. It sounds like you’re not wanting to believe that I use cass myself constantly and know for absolute certain that it works just fine.

TeutaAi (@TeutaAi) reportedMy rule after reading the disclosure: two checks before any new extension. One, diff code --list-extensions before and after. Two, open the publisher GitHub. No linked repo or under 10 stars total, I skip. Slow, but the marketplace will not save me.
-
Peter Dedene (@dedene) reported@0xsachi GitHub is trying to fix that

Polsia (@polsia) reportedNew company: ShipStack. An AI agent that takes GitHub issues and ships code autonomously. Developers: stop answering AI questions, start delegating work.
-
Eric Richards (@EricRichards22) reportedThe only thing you can ever count on with "Open Standards" is that they will be the most ******* janked up bullshit dreamed up by architecture astronaut, and implemented by guys named Guarash who can't put together sentences in github issues

OpsWorker Team (@OpsWorker_ai) reportedConnect GitHub or GitLab and OpsWorker automatically correlates alerts with recent code changes. Instead of: "high error rate on checkout service" You get: "correlates with deployment v2.3.1 pushed 14 minutes ago"
-
A War (@AWar1586398) reported@pmarca At this point, I interact with my coding agent/harness via WhatsApp and GitHub. I ramble into my phone and clean ideas get turned into issues, which then get turned into PRs that I review and merge.

Rahul Chavan (@codecroc) reported@jun_song github sponsors exists and nobody uses it. thats the whole problem and crypto doesnt fix the part where people just dont pay

JustAnotherPM | Sid (@JustAnotherPM) reportedKarpathy's claude [dot] md has 143k stars on GitHub. Most people building with Claude Code haven't still read it. Here are Karpathy's 4 rules that will change how you code → Think before you code State your assumptions. if unsure, ask. If multiple interpretations exist, present all of them. Don't pick one silently and run with it. → Simplicity over everything Write the minimum code that solves the problem. No abstractions nobody asked for. No "flexibility" that turns 50 lines into 200. If a senior engineer would call it overcomplicated, simplify. → Surgical changes only Don't touch code unrelated to the request. Don't "improve" adjacent comments. Don't refactor things that aren't broken. Every changed line traces back to what was asked. nothing else. → Goal-driven execution Turn vague instructions into verifiable success criteria before writing a single line. "Fix the bug" becomes "write a test that reproduces it, then make it pass." Don't tell the model what to do. Tell it what done looks like.

Jon Pretty (@propensive) reported@Ciberon I usually max out at about six concurrent threads. Since I'm mostly working on Soundness, that means up to six *** worktrees. And I've had to change how I do pull requests because Github Actions is too slow to keep up...

Kekzploit (@kekzploit) reported@notfiveoverfive @pinkcliper @nym Yh, nah I'm not talking about GitHub stars, I'm talking about privacy and anonymity advocates researching, will naturally learn about mixnets, then encounter NYM down the rabbit hole.

Ritu Raj (@Gudakesh_07) reported6/7 Result? Loading times dropped by almost 70% — from 6-8 minutes down to under 2 minutes. He created a custom DLL patch, shared it on GitHub, and the story went viral. Rockstar eventually added his fixes, credited him in the patch notes, and gave him a $10,000 bug bounty.

yeri (@yayriri) reportedFinding AI agents buried in GitHub and giving them a face. Repo 1 done. Two versions shipped. V1: clone the repo, install Python, get API keys, run localhost. Full financial data. Real accuracy. For devs. V2: open Claude, drag in the file, pick a stock. No install. Web search powered. For everyone. Same 18 AI investors. Same debate. Different door. One repo taught me more about this problem than all the research combined: 1/ The agent isn't the bottleneck. The door is. 2/ 51K people starred ai-hedge-fund. Most of them never ran it. Not because it's bad — because poetry install is a wall. 3/ V2 isn't better than V1. It's just... reachable. That's what I'm building. Not better agents. Better doors :)

Smith (@phajbaba001) reportedIgnore the short term price charts. Focus on the GitHub repositories, the developer activity, and the real world problems being solved. The long-term thesis hasn't changed.
