    @poteto @TheCyberverse That is such a valuable take. I have a similar question: U have written similar codes 1000s of times to master the skill and understanding. But for me as a junior engineer it's getting very hard to keep polishing mine. If I decide to code by hand the same thing I did last yr, I'm like "how did I do it again?". If I have time I'll keep going down the rabbit hole of github and stack overflow and keep my skills polished but I don't enough time. It feels like the more productive we get the less time we have and thus rely on agents more. Personally I try to review codes as much as possible so that my logical brain doesn't get atrophied. I am curious to know how u face this challenge.

    Codex is so buggy (see the recent codex github issues) that it’s not a good way to show how good sol is. The reset just makes people happy. It doesn’t change the fact that you can’t even properly manage your own app. @thsottiaux

    @Griveau @karrisaarinen @linear This is not hyperbole... I missed an email - via issues on github - about my Rust MCP SDK (mcp-daemon) becoming the official Rust SDK from Anthropic and I missed it by 3 months because I had subscribed to the Cline issues feed somehow and missed it in all of the chatter. I released it in Feb 2025. I was ok with it though. I made the MCP SDK for my own use primarily and did not want to be tied to it like that.

    Github down again, this time Actions. Surely unrelated to the 5000000 tests llm agents lovingly add to every project.

    @EmperorBag @F_A_T_W_ I think it makes a lot of sense to use github as a metric. my issue is that when you use use of experience as a metric, you isolate so many insanely good cracked young devs.

    The DOE research GPU cluster has been down for eight hours, and it has been having mid-job node failures I have never seen before. (They are not reporting on this outage anywhere.) Github and Codex Websockets have both been on the fritz all day. OpenAI auth is down, and so I cannot log into Codex on the other research cluster I use either. We are in the vibe coding apocalypse.

    Slowly automating myself of the keyboard . Everything claude needs me to do in zsh I've built little scripts for etc or to reduce tokens. Got a GitHub watching script now for CC. I have 14 checks in Github and GitHub can be a bit flaky imo. Building a 'fix PR' agent repository. It's getting better. Cost me a lot of time over the past months but getting better.

    I would not migrate company *** to Origin this week. If I were testing it: 1. mirror one private repo 2. keep GitHub as source of truth 3. let one cloud agent open a PR 4. leave Actions, issues, and secrets alone 5. detach if it gets messy The product is a week old. Treat it like a lab, not a move.

    Here’s an unpopular suggestion: make the @GitHub outages Charlie Bell’s problem. Give him limitless autonomy and stand back. Two things will happen next: 1. GitHub employees will not enjoy the next year. 2. GitHub customers absolutely will as reliability skyrockets.

    pdfTeX is now running in your browser, compiled to WebAssembly, with zero backend required. TeXbrain loads .tex files, compiles them client-side to PDF in 1–5 seconds, and caches TeX Live packages locally so subsequent work happens entirely offline. No server, no local installation. CodeMirror 6 handles the editing, pdf.js renders the output live. The constraint worth naming: first use requires downloading packages from a TeX Live mirror online. After that, you're offline-capable. Chrome and Edge get full file system access via the File System Access API; other browsers get the editor but lose the seamless local workflow. The real win here is collapsing the friction between "I want to write LaTeX" and "I can write LaTeX right now." *** integration is there too—clone and push to GitHub from the same tab. Has anyone hit a wall with WASM TeX compilation that made you think it couldn't work at scale?

    have there been any improvements in code suggestion IDEs? i liked github copilot idea, but back then - it was unaware of the context (had single file context window if any). i believe developers, me including, are degrading due to our strive to become more efficient to be faster with the use of genai, but we all know the truth which is it is very frustrating and the dev velocity is too high to keep up with. i feel like there is some sort of middle ground that is hugely unexplored and it is a problem of millions of developers. like instead of trying to go 100x, let's try going 3x. for quick projects surely it's like a drag strip - let's go as fast as we can. but for big projects - we need to tune ourselves but also match our expectations. try taking a drag car to a track - that's what happens with us most of the time. we need AI to boost us without the cost of code context.

    Claimed a free @gitlab 🦊 subscription for nonprofits 🫡. It will be a backup for #Unisched GitHub repos for now. In the last three months, development was stuck more than 20 times due to various issues with GitHub, including failed pushes, issues not loading, and long wait times on Actions, unfortunately. For a nonprofit like ours, time is even more valuable because people contribute when they have free time and willingness. So when they get stuck with tools, they just give less time to the project.

    🔑 STEP 2: Get your NVIDIA API key. Open the model you want to use. Then: → click Get API Key → sign in / create an NVIDIA account → join the NVIDIA Developer Program if prompted → generate the key → copy it somewhere safe Do NOT publish this key in GitHub. Do NOT paste it into screenshots. Treat it like a password.

    elon musk grabbed the source code openai open-sourced by accident, rewrote it in rust over a weekend, and shipped it as a free coding agent that does everything $200/mo chatgpt pro does. why pay $200 to openai and $200 to claude when this runs for $8 the swarm above is one weekend of exactly that: thousands of agents pouring through four endpoints, three paid seats billing $1.80 a task while the free fork bills $0. musk co-founded openai, walked out, and when they left codex on github under a permissive license, he forked it, stamped grok on it, and gave it away what the free version does that the $200 seat charges for: the agent · openai's own engine -> it reads your repo, writes patches, runs your tests, and loops until they pass, exactly like codex -> because under the hood it is codex, just faster and free. you are paying $200 for the paid skin of a tool now sitting on github the license · apache-2.0, un-revocable -> free to use, free to fork, free to ship inside your own product with zero strings -> openai cannot pull it back. musk made sure the license is the kind that never expires the switch · one line, no new tools -> point it at any openai-compatible or claude-compatible endpoint, including an $8 kimi backend -> same terminal, same workflow, gpt-5.6 and opus 5 just quietly lose the seat the bill · $400 down to $8 -> chatgpt pro plus claude max is $400 a month. the free agent plus an $8 kimi key does the same daily work -> that is a 98% cut, built out of openai's own source code, handed to you by the guy suing them here is the part they will fight me on: openai did not lose this to a better model, they lost it to their own license and an enemy with a weekend free. the $200 was never the tool, it was the toll, and musk just put openai's own logo on the road around it drop your $400/mo ai stack to $8. the run above is openai's own agent, rewritten free, doing the job it bills $200 a month for. the full breakdown is in the article below

    @SweetHeartKnows Dude, that sounds more like you got an axe to grind. Sure there are issues, but you're being a bit extreme. We've been making a lot of imprints to these, that have been helping. If you got any suggestions, our GitHub is open.

    @michaelbushe Often when github actions are down the remote runners don't work either. They also charge you to run your own runners. I'm starting to think local racks are the future.

    The @quipnetwork's testnet isn't asking users to trust that quantum computing works for blockchain. It's letting anyone test that claim directly. Launched back in April, the testnet runs quantum and classical hardware side by side, real annealing quantum computers alongside regular CPUs and GPUs, so researchers can submit proof-of-work problems and see for themselves whether quantum actually adds anything over classical computing for that task. More than 13,000 people signed up, with six research teams already running experiments on it. The architecture solves a problem most cross-chain projects create for themselves. You don't move your funds to a new blockchain to participate. Quantum-resistant wallets already run natively on Ethereum and Solana, with Bitcoin support layered on separately through Arch Network. Your assets stay where they are; the protection comes to you instead of asking you to migrate first. Underneath all of it is a trustless marketplace: quantum operators contribute spare compute time, classical nodes verify what comes back, and the entire codebase is open source on GitHub for anyone to check rather than take on faith. Most projects in this space ask you to believe quantum computing matters for blockchain security. Quip built the testing ground and just handed you the keys. Would you trust a claim about quantum computing more if you could run the test yourself instead of reading about someone else's results?

    github was down 7 hours 47 minutes on aug 17. second serious incident this month. not a bad deploy: a central us component missed a traffic peak, then copilot clients retried it into a worse hole since april, monthly commits went from 1.4B to 2.9B they blamed capacity, not agents. the commit line still doubled in four months
