Kush (@kushbhuwalka) reportedI don’t really get the GitHub hate. It works well for me and it’s easy to use. It’s basically free. Last week was the first time I ever saw it down, and frankly that didn’t affect me much either.

Teja (@tejalogs) reportedthe recent news about ruflo, a new multi-agent orchestration framework for claude code, isn't just another github repo gaining traction; it's a very specific bellwether for how solo builders like me are about to rethink our development loops. most people will see a sophisticated new library and assume it's for enterprise teams with massive budgets, but what ruflo actually signals is a dramatic lowering of the barrier to deploying complex, multi-step agentic workflows directly into production with tools like anthropic's claude 3 opus or sonnet, all without needing to hire an army of prompt engineers or shell out for a dedicated mlo[ps] team. this isn't just about better code generation; it's about enabling individual developers to orchestrate entire software systems, not just components. what’s often missed in the hype around multi-agent systems is the sheer complexity of state management and inter-agent communication, which is precisely what ruflo aims to abstract away. historically, building something with, say, 5 distinct agents one for planning, one for code generation, another for testing, a fourth for documentation, and a fifth for deployment would involve writing thousands of lines of boilerplate code just to pass information, handle errors, and manage context between them. this is where the real friction lies, not in the individual agent's capabilities. we’ve seen similar attempts with tools like crewai or autogen, but ruflo’s focus specifically on claude code’s strengths its nuanced reasoning and longer context windows combined with a structured approach to flow definition, is a distinct leap. it shifts the problem from "how do i make my llm write better code?" to "how do i make my llm build an entire, working feature?" this is the difference between a smart code assistant like cursor and a full-stack engineering partner. i ran into this exact orchestration problem building the second look flutter app, which uses ai for behavioral analysis. my initial prototype had a simple chain: transcribe audio, extract sentiment, then flag anomalies. but when i tried to add agents for summarizing key discussion points and cross-referencing against historical patterns, the complexity exploded. i ended up managing a fastapi backend with individual endpoints for each stage, passing large json blobs between them, and writing custom retry logic. the cost, both in development time and firebase document reads, became prohibitive quickly. specifically, getting a reliable chain with three distinct ai stages transcription, sentiment, and summarization would cause p95 latency to hit 8-10 seconds for a 5-minute audio file, and if i scaled up concurrent users past 5, my function invocation errors from missing context or malformed json would spike to 15%. a ruflo-like abstraction for that specific problem, especially with claude code's ability to reason about the overall task, would have let me ship those richer features in a third of the time, likely cutting my api costs by 20-30% because of more efficient token usage and less retrying. the uncomfortable implication of ruflo and similar agent orchestration frameworks is that the "full-stack developer" as a distinct role will evolve dramatically within the next 18-24 months. we're already seeing a contraction in junior dev roles; this will extend to mid-level roles focused on stitching together disparate services. instead of writing the boilerplate to glue apis, developers will become architects of agent systems, defining the interactions and flows rather than the explicit code for every single step. the mental model to adopt here is moving from imperative programming, where you tell the computer how to do everything, to declarative programming for entire software pipelines, where you tell the ai what the desired outcome is, and the agents figure out the how. expect to see a surge in "agent architect" roles, where understanding prompt engineering, context management, and failure modes across multiple llms becomes more valuable than writing a perfect react component. the critical skill won't be writing the code, but designing the intelligent system that writes and deploys the code

Gregor (@bygregorr) reported@theo The real issue isn't token cost. GitHub priced Copilot assuming models would stay mediocre. Now that they're actually useful, the whole flat-rate model is broken. Did GitHub's pricing accidentally bet against AI progress?

Ruupens (@Ruupens) reportedBREAKING: A 13-year-old student in Thailand is solving Codeforces 800-rated problems in ~45 seconds using an AI agent he built himself. No team. No company. No funding. Just a MacBook Air, Claude Code, and a GitHub repo. He sits in a normal classroom: Codeforces open in the browser VS Code ready for C++ Claude Code running an autonomous agent in the corner silent $300 keyboard clicking away The agent takes a problem → analyzes it → generates C++ solution → submits in under a minute. He didn’t just “use AI”. He built a system that competes with AI using AI. Everything is public on GitHub. We’re officially at the point where students are building tools that outperform entire competitive programming workflows. Is this the future of learning… or the death of real problem-solving? Would love to see different takes in the comments 👇

Binit Ranjan Das🇮🇳 (@imbinit17) reportedNote : The above URL is where users access GitHub codespaces. VI 4G connection shows a download speed of barely 20 Mbps on the Ookla Speedtest site. Kindly fix this issue at earliest @reliancejio

The_Daniel (@dan_mwita8) reported@fidexcode Neither option alone is the right answer — it depends on what the client actually needs long term, but here's the clean way to do it properly: Create a GitHub account for the client or add them as an owner to an existing org. Transfer the repo directly to their account — not a fork, not a zip, a real ownership transfer. That way the client owns the code, the history, the branches, and the CI/CD pipeline if there is one. Then separately hand over everything else people forget: — Domain registrar login or transfer — Hosting account credentials or transfer — Environment variables and secrets — Database access and backups — Any third party API keys the project uses — DNS settings documentation The zip method works for small static projects with no ongoing maintenance. But the moment there are dependencies, deployment pipelines, or the client might hire another developer later — a proper repo transfer is the only professional move. A zip file handed to a new developer six months later with no *** history, no context, and missing env vars is a nightmare. Don't do that to the next person.

Bill Forney (@wforney) reported@timdoke @mkristensen I have had issues with solutions that are not in the repo root putting stuff in a .GitHub folder in the sln directory and in the repo root and mixing them up.

Ariel Lipschutz (@arilishu) reported@ndrewpignanelli Can’t login with GitHub
-
ZQ (@X_SUZQ) reported@github At first, we were just surprised that AI could turn the boring GitHub Changelog into Star Wars scrolling subtitles. But looking back at today in 2026, AI is breaking down the wall between ”boring data“ and ”vivid experience“ to generate a dynamic world from one sentence.

Guri Singh (@heygurisingh) reportedAnthropic will never tell you this. Vanilla Claude Code is intentionally inefficient. Every file operation makes a separate tool call. Every call carries all prior context. The token bill compounds the longer you work. The fix has been sitting on GitHub the whole time. It's called WozCode. Plugin that sits on top of Claude Code, replaces the default file tools with batched versions. Same prompts. Same model. Fraction of the spend. → 9 tool calls to find and edit files becomes 2 → Sessions that died at 45 minutes now run 80 → Database tasks 5-10x faster on real benchmarks → Works in terminal, VS Code, and Conductor → Two commands to install Run /woz-savings on your history and tell me you're not furious.

Luke Parker (@LukeParkerDev) reported@StefanTMD @Iamkingsleyf Can you please file a GitHub issue with more details? TUI/Desktop? Still happens with opencode —pure
-
Ben Badejo (@BenjaminBadejo) reported@MohandesDavid You can submit it as a pull request (“fix(docs) - description) on Github). You can have your agent do it for you.

Can (@TesfiApp) reportedmy full stack — what I actually pay to run this thing every month Claude = coding. ($20/mo) Supabase = backend. (Free) Vercel = deploying. (Free) TestFi = user testing. ($1.99/tester) Namecheap = domain. ($12/yr) Stripe = payments. (2.9%/transaction) GitHub = version control. (Free) Resend = emails. (Free) Cloudflare = DNS. (Free) PostHog = analytics. (Free) Sentry = error tracking. (Free) Total: ~$20/month. No team, no VC, 8 months in.

hatef (@itsmehatef) reported@RhysSullivan x down : annoying github down : end of civilization
-
Rémi (@remilouf) reportedNo one is going to replace GitHub with a "more reliable GitHub", they will fix it before you go to market. There’s an opportunity with the AI thing going on, but it’s not going to look like a GitHub competitor for a few years.
-
Aaryan Kapoor (@TheAaryanKapoor) reported@ItsAlexhere0 . Claude - the trial version . Codex - can get a saas up . Cursor - don't use opus . Antigravity - they're still around? . GitHub Copilot - is it down?
-
mert (@im_mert_) reportedAlways heard of GitHub having uptime issues. This is the first time that I experience it for myself, and it feels crazy. I personally don't roll out releases every few minutes. Yet even me experiencing the downtime, shows how bad the situation is.

Jay-K (@jay_k) reportedWhat it does: Grok can connect to services like Gmail, Google Calendar, Notion, Slack, GitHub, Linear, Microsoft tools (Outlook, etc.), HubSpot, and more. It supports both native/official connectors and custom ones via MCP (a tool-use standard). Capabilities: Once connected, you can ask Grok things like "Summarize my unread emails," "Create a Notion page with today's notes," "Post a message in Slack," or "Check my GitHub issues." It works with scheduled tasks, voice agents, and responses API.

Jody Hirschi 🍫 (@hirschibar) reported@ibuildthecloud Hard just means it's an opportunity. The right team could pull it off. Some really good design and really good niche execution could do it. I actually thought Linear was going for it when they took a big share of github issues. Sadly they haven't
-
Abdulmajeed (@0xabma) reported@RhysSullivan deep down we all know microsoft trained its github copilot on people’s repos but we just can’t prove it because copilot still suck
-
imperfect solution (@luismmolina) reportedI am almost 100% sure github copilot added some prompt to chop the request, that is dont run for too long. Finish some partial request from the user and finish the request there. Before I could run for 40 min without problem, now only 2 to 4 min max.

green fish (@rawjapanesefish) reportedcodex is too eager to fix my stuff... and the retarded ai boomer on github is fighting me over genuine issues
-
Ifee Anthony (@IfeeDev) reported@burkeholland $19.99. I was spending more when I was using GitHub Copilot, and it just gulps down tokens. AI coding is fun until you realize you're getting rubbish back, and you shouldn't be spending more than necessary on that.
-
PsudoMike 🇨🇦 (@PsudoMike) reported@thdxr Replacing GitHub means replacing Issues, Actions, OAuth federation, and seven years of enterprise legal sign off. The product part is two months. The trust and integration part is a decade. Same reason banks still run COBOL.
-
Darren Shepherd (@ibuildthecloud) reported@duginabox I'll tell you my problem. The PR-based flow is not useful to me anymore. Centering my development around the GitHub model is too slow. I'm developing a new model. And I'll probably still put my *** repos in GitHub. And as stupid as this sounds, even create PRs. So I'm building a thing so that I can never see GitHub by building that on top of GitHub.
-
Sam Huckaby (@samhuckaby) reported@elijahmcom You’ll always just have people ask “if this is just the same as GitHub, why would I not use GitHub?”. No matter how bad or unreliable GitHub becomes, it will always be “the GitHub” that people default to. I think in order to fix it, we need a complete shift of what people want in terms of functionality
-
Ori Livni (@oriSomething) reported@zeeg With all the problems Github has, the alternatives are worse. I’ve used some of them. One for 4 years

🐍 Tal Weiss (@majortal) reportedEvolution: 1. Claude, fix GitHub issue 726. Get to the root cause, use TDD, mark as feature request if not in spec and ping me for escalations; test all and deploy patch 2. /bug 726 3. /bugs 4. /schedule every 7am run /bugs 5. /wire /bug to GitHub issues as they arrive

John Slowik (@JohnTheEyesOfX) reported@ona_hq Our programmers were ripped off! They took the keys to the onsite server room and gave us valet keys to our own intellectual property in the ‘cloud’, and forced us to check code in and out of GitHub!! You think AI was trained organically?
