    Railway Are you guys able to login on your railway? Says error authenticating with GitHub for me! If you have any advice it would mean the world. Can’t sign in @Railway

  • Xbotter
    Xbotter (@Xbotter) reported

    GitHub employee’s device was compromised after installing a poisoned VS Code extension, leading to unauthorized access to ~3,800 internal repositories. GitHub has isolated the device, rotated keys, and is investigating. The bigger issue: VS Code extensions are a prime target for supply chain attacks — fake plugins, hijacked popular extensions, npm dependency poisoning, plus auto-updates and excessive permissions. One install can quietly steal tokens. Open source trust chains are fragile.

    @github Probably should lock down what extensions employees at the company are allowed to install/use yes?

    I remember that one time when Yahoo (rip) got hacked, the funniest imgur, (also rip), post was: "at least the search works finally!" and it would be funny if the bad actors start to host Github, but with SLA 99.99%, not PR api endpoint going down every 2-3 days.

    @github Railway is down Now GitHub is facing another issue

  • anthonyspiteri
    Anthony Spiteri (@anthonyspiteri) reported

    @github This is getting ridiculous. GitHub investigating unauthorized access to their own internal repos and the first line is still “no evidence of customer impact”. How many more of these “internal only” breaches before Microsoft actually locks this **** down?

    @antigravity It is incomplete application, not working for me, no github connection, no reliability.

    The interview filter Cat described without saying it: 1. Default to action over alignment 2. Ship imperfect on Friday rather than present a polished plan on Monday 3. Hear "10,000 GitHub issues" and think "which 5 do I build this week" not "let me do a prioritization exercise" If you are interviewing at any AI company, demonstrate shipping speed. Not strategic frameworks.

  • bally_kehal
    Bally_AgenticAI (@bally_kehal) reported

    @github @GoogleAI @code Iterative agentic coding isn't a model-speed problem - it's a verification problem. The faster you generate, the faster you'll commit nonsense unless there's a self-check step between tool calls. Speed without judgment just compounds bad decisions.

  • alkimiadev
    alkimiadev (@alkimiadev) reported

    @github I'm glad I switched to self-hosted gitea. About 5 hours ago someone created a post offering to sell your internal data and repos. Its like you guys just hate having users or something. Performance issues, gaslight level bugs that reverse work randomly and now you got pwned.

  • _mateic
    matei (@_mateic) reported

    @zo0r @Railway @neondatabase Their cloud provider (GCP) blocked their account and then dragged their feet on incident response. Hardly the same category of issue that would warrant this public shaming. Are you not equally upset with Github, Cloudflare, AWS, and GCP? Or have you not been roasted there yet?

  • t1llmann
    Till Felippi (@t1llmann) reported

    Github source code is available for sale 😬 AI really accelerated security breaches. Are we going to see more of this in the future (because of old leaks & sloppy new code) or less because AI will also help to close issues before others detect it?

  • SyntaxError2505
    SyntaxError  (@SyntaxError2505) reported

    We should all just host things on our own servers. Not because of monopoly, uptime, price or any boring topic. Because I don't want github to be down at the same time as steam because both use AWS for something

  • AzerothPulse
    AzerothPulse (@AzerothPulse) reported

    @github gets breached again. Bad actors utilizing frontier AI models while the cybersecurity frontier models are being gate kept. Unless something changes, we are in for unprecedented hacks/breaches over the next 2 years. Not to mention a developer shortage when its time to fix these issues. Meanwhile, companies like @coinbase are laying off developers. We are COOKED.

    How it works: 1. Probes URL → classifies (OpenAPI, JSON, HTML, SPA) 2. Generates Go CLI + MCP server + Claude skill 3. Verifies: build, smoke, MCP handshake, tests 4. Installs to ~/.local/bin ~95% on OpenAPI specs. 21 verified entries (GitHub = 1,183 ops).

    @amznsellerhelp However, all I’m interested in is the “reserved_fc-processing” value to add to fulfillable, inbound and what we have on order to provide our projected inventory position. Shall I raise another GitHub issue over the summation problem or do you think they are depreciating reserved_fc-processing to reserved_staging as a way of fixing a long-standing bug in the arithmetic? 4/4

  • KanikaBK
    Kanika (@KanikaBK) reported

    A developer on Reddit spent 36 hours watching a single AI-generated prompt execute 7,328 simulated crypto trades with zero losing sessions, and most people building trading bots have no idea this code exists. 36 hours later, a crypto trading bot had executed 7,328 simulated trades and was showing $566 in profit without a single losing session. Here's what happened. Gemini was asked to generate a lightweight ETH scalping bot. The code was pasted directly into the Webull browser dev console. Then the browser tab was left alone and the process continued unattended. The bot just quietly scalps tiny momentum moves all day with tight trailing stops. Over and over. Boringly consistent. Before you lose your mind: ↳ This is simulated trading, no real money involved ↳ No trading fees counted ↳ No slippage or liquidity issues factored in ↳ Real trading would look different But here is the part that is actually interesting. The behavior. The consistency. The logic. A single AI prompt generated trading logic that ran 7,000+ simulated decisions without a catastrophic failure. The strategy is coherent. The risk management is real. The pattern recognition works. Most people who try to build trading bots spend weeks on the code alone. This person spent one prompt. The full code is on GitHub. Free. Open source. You can run it yourself right now and watch it either print money or blow up spectacularly. The creator's honest note at the end: "I wish trading was this easy, I'm on a nasty drawdown." Which is the most real thing anyone has ever said about crypto. Save this. Link in comments.

    @github @BenjaminDEKR I recently had an issue with @madebygoogle Nest thermostats. All my thermostats were randomly set to 65 degrees. It felt like a bug or a breach. They wouldn’t take it seriously and asked me to fill out many questions before helping, deterring me from seeking more support.

    AI agents are great at reasoning but terrible at driving real software like Blender, GIMP, or LibreOffice. CLI-Anything auto-generates a structured CLI harness for any codebase so agents can actually operate professional tools. 36k GitHub stars since March. Full specs next tweet. #DevTools
