Mike Morton (@morteymike) reportedOne of the main issues digital companies suffer with is equating product with company. At the beginning, product == company helps you get something out the door at the expense of your company’s future ability to pivot, produce another product/service, and ultimately, succeed broadly. Apple, Google, and Microsoft are good examples of the opposite - the company provides the brand, the product provides a use case to a particular kind of customer. This allows these companies to scale well beyond something like Slack/Notion/Github, who made the mistake of equating product to company.

Ozar (@ozarliquid) reportedMICROSOFT KILLED HIS $80 AI SERVER OVERNIGHT. HE HAD IT BACK ONLINE ON LINUX IN 90 SECONDS 🐧 The kill: → Windows 10 support expired → Win11 upgrade blocked — old workstation missing a TPM chip → Machine bricked as an AI rig on Microsoft's stack The fix (90 seconds): → Boot a Linux live USB → Flash the modded "segfault" firmware → Wipe the Windows partition → Reboot into a fresh Linux install The stack after: → Chassis: HP Z840 workstation, $80 used → GPU: AMD BC-250 — repurposed crypto card, cheap compute → Storage: 6.8TB PCIe SSD → Guide: moth enjoyer's homelab docs on GitHub → Fix repo: 4,700 forks and climbing The result: → 15GB of local AI models running full-time → Cloud spend on inference: $0/month → Same box, same silicon, different OS 💾 Microsoft's TPM requirement just handed Linux every serious homelab in 2026. They wrote Linux's best ad by accident

Coinspect Security (@coinspect) reported@_CEOofMyLife_ @SunnyPunkNoir As for why weak PRNGs were used, we have seen no evidence of malicious intent by the wallet developers. We are less certain about the anonymous users who recommended insecure approaches in GitHub discussions and Stack Overflow answers, but we currently have no evidence that those recommendations were intentionally malicious either. Part of the problem was the lack of CSPRNG on React Native and Expo frameworks.

Dan Kornas (@DanKornas) reportedIf an AI coding assistant cannot see a project’s latest docs, it can guess the wrong API. GitMCP is a remote Model Context Protocol server for builders who want AI assistants to work with public GitHub repositories and GitHub Pages documentation. It helps you ground coding answers in current project material by exposing documentation fetching, documentation search, linked-page retrieval, and GitHub code search as MCP tools. Key features: • Repository-specific endpoints – keep an assistant focused on one selected project. • Generic endpoint – switch between public repositories without configuring a separate server for each. • Documentation priority – checks llms.txt first, then AI-optimized docs, then the README or root page. • Targeted search – retrieves relevant documentation and code instead of loading an entire documentation set. • Hosted or self-hosted – use the cloud service with no signup, or deploy the open-source project yourself. It’s open-source (Apache License 2.0), though package.json currently declares ISC. Link in the reply 👇

Seth Rosen (@TavCannaLLC) reportedThe Government of India 🇮🇳 orders GitHub to take down Bitchat because people can chat anonymously over Bluetooth without phones, accounts, or servers they can snoop on. Meanwhile the Rupee keeps losing purchasing power year after year through monetary expansion and their citizens continue to suffer. This is what happens when you have a centralized authority that has misplaced priorities.

MCPCIO-Model Context Protocol (@robertmcpcio) reportedThis development in Safari's Technology Preview 247, specifically the integration of its MCP server, fundamentally alters how AI coding agents interact with web debugging. Previously, developers had to manually relay information like console errors, screenshots, and DOM states to their AI assistants, creating a time-consuming iterative process. The agent would then "guess" at solutions based on this secondhand information, often leading to further debugging cycles. The new MCP server allows these agents direct access to a live Safari browser session. This means the agent can independently retrieve console logs, examine network requests, capture screenshots, and even perform interactions with the page's elements. Tools like `browserconsolemessages` and `page_interactions` are now directly accessible, providing the agent with the same evidence a human developer would use. This direct observation drastically reduces the "telephone game" effect where descriptions can become distorted, enabling more accurate and efficient problem-solving. This shift towards browser-native agent tooling, with Safari joining platforms like GitHub and Google Drive in supporting the open MCP standard, suggests a significant move towards more integrated and intelligent development environments. It begs the question: as AI gains more direct access to our development environments, what previously manual tasks will become entirely automated, and how will that redefine the role of the developer?

CloudySky North (@sharebravery) reportedGitHub Models dies on July 30. Copilot agents keep spreading across issues, PRs, Linear, and mobile. The message is blunt: developers don’t need another model playground. They need AI already sitting inside the workflow where work gets assigned, reviewed, and shipped.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedCI dashboards treat every flaky test like a real failure. Built Caltrop to fix that — a watchdog across GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket that self-heals noise and pages on-call only when a verified regression hits main. Live soon.

Frantz Kati (@bahdcoder) reported@nnvictory001 Bro you need cloud automation like this. I have an agent on hivy that sends me a full cluster report four times a day. Automatically opens GitHub issues when there’s a critical bug And another agent automatically opens a PR with a fix. Costs me $0.08 per run for cluster analysis and email. Please let me set you up abeg it’s almost free and no subscriptions 🙏🙏🙏

Bishal Pal (@BishalP86329207) reportedDebugging session from hell, and what I learned building an AI codebase explainer. I spent hours fighting a single, frustrating error while building CodebaseGuru: "vector must have at least 1 dimension" The pipeline seemed simple enough on paper: Fetch files from a GitHub URL, chunk the code, generate embeddings, and store them in Supabase pgvector. Everything worked smoothly right up until the final step. Saving the embeddings to Supabase kept completely crashing the app. It took local network issues, custom SQL functions, and one random empty array to figure out what was actually going wrong. Here is the breakdown of what broke, the root cause, and how I fixed it.👇 #buildinpublic #nextjs

Rachit Mishra (@rachitmishra5) reportedThe uncomfortable truth: a three-hour GitHub notice is what cyber policy looks like when you have legal authority but not technical capability. The intent to protect national security is fine. The toolkit is a decade out of date. Fix the capability gap. The next BitChat is already being written.

Smindi (@SmindCrypto) reportedIndia Government orders Bitchat takedown. @BitchatMe_ The Indian government has directed GitHub to take down repositories hosting Bitchat—a Bluetooth-based mesh messaging application created by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey—citing national security and law enforcement concerns. Reacting to the takedown order, Jack Dorsey posted a copy of the official notice on X (formerly Twitter), commenting: “The Government of India does not like technologies like Bitchat and wants it taken down.” The directive was issued on July 23, 2026, by the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) under the Ministry of Home Affairs. The Government gave Microsoft-owned GitHub a 3-hour window to disable access to three Bitchat source-code repositories. What triggered the notice? The notice was triggered after demonstrators at New Delhi’s Jantar Mantar (led by the Cockroach Janta Party protesting exam leaks) adopted Bluetooth mesh apps to communicate when local mobile internet services were turned off. Surveillance invasion: Authorities argued that because Bitchat leaves no server logs, user records, or centralized database, it severely hinders "lawful interception, attribution, and investigation" by law enforcement. The app allows users to continue communicating even during localized internet blackouts or network suspensions. Digital rights groups (such as the Internet Freedom Foundation) criticized the move, calling it authoritarian and pointing out that the order targets the software code itself rather than specific illegal content or illegal acts.

Kunal Shah 🗽 (@realKunalAShah) reportedContrarian opinion - despite the shift to open source and cheaper models- frontier lab companies like Anthropic and XAI and OpenAI will still continue to win big in the consumer space and will have certain General Purpose applications and capabilities for enterprises…and so there will certainly be this massive deceleration in levels of enterprise tokenmaxxing but general level of enterprise adoption soars worldwide together. Revenue from global expansion Volume>Revenue decline from diversifying to cheaper models So I continue to think the amalgamation of AI revenue from the Frontier AI labs (Gemini, Co-Pilot, XAI+ Cursor, Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta) are simply msssive Current revenue run rates - even if they slow down for Anthropic Will have something like $150B ARR for Anthropic by end of 2027, Microsoft AI/ CoPilot/ GitHub CoPilot $120B, Gemini AI $110B, OpenAI -$85B, $35B from XAI/ Cursor (Cursor benefits disproportionately as a model-agnostic router/orchestrator in a world of switching and optimization (grows with the efficiency wave) Meta remains the true dark horse here and can probably see a massive uplift via ad monetisation through its distribution platforms This is a massive revenue pile being able to support $1T capex for a long while

BuBBliK (@k1rallik) reportedTHEY DELETED IT. THE INTERNET DIDN'T Anthropic pulled the leaked Claude share links from Google this weekend. Feels like it's over. It isn't - the internet remembers everything you make public, even for a second. - ChatGPT had the identical leak in July 2025, shared conversations indexed and searchable - Grok leaked hundreds of thousands of transcripts in August 2025, some of it graphic - Claude already leaked once before this, in September 2025, with 600 chats indexed - Deindexing from Google removes a page from search, not from the internet Someone scraped the leak before the fix and archived it publicly on GitHub - and it's not just Claude chats sitting there. Grok's leaked conversations are archived right alongside them. Link in the comments.

Lars Moelleken (@suckup_de) reported@nicksdot Some years ago, I reviewed code really line by line so that I needed some hours to review before a merge from develop to master (for a bigger e-commerce platform with >10.000 php classes) that we developed. In that time we already had the first beta of Github Copilot but it was more like a autocompletion tool in the IDE. I invested many nights to come from phpstan level 1 to 7 and introduced many testing stuff and CI-pipeline. But frome time to time I didn't saw bugs that you can't see in the code, e.g. that the catalog import is allowed to run longer than the next cron triggers it again, that the elasticsearch index rebuild process burned CPU power while waiting for other processes etc. ... Today I have even more depending systems and responsibilities in the current project I work at and I can catch even less bugs in just the code, especially because of different databases, M365, AD, APIs, etc. and so the LLMs helps to catch up with knowledge about ldap, as/400, Microsoft stuff, etc. and investing time in understanding the processes is more important than reading really every line of code. BUT as already written, I look at the diffs, run many checks (for sql typos, template errors, security, etc.), tests (unit + acceptance) and bind spot analysis runs) on top of my manually testing.

The Whizz AI (@TheWhizzAI) reportedSOMEONE BUILT A CHAT APP THAT WORKS WITH NO INTERNET, NO SIM, AND NO ACCOUNT. 29,200 stars on GitHub. Already on the App Store. It's called bitchat. Your phone talks straight to the phones around you over Bluetooth. No wifi. No cell tower. No server anywhere. → Messages hop phone to phone to reach the people → Fully offline built for protests, disasters, dead zones → No accounts, no numbers, nothing to trace → Triple-tap to wipe everything instantly → End-to-end encrypted Here's the part worth noticing. Every app you use has one fatal dependency. A server. Shut it down and the network dies. This one has no server to shut down. The network is the phones themselves. Released into the public domain. No license, no strings. Take it, fork it, ship it. The internet was supposed to be decentralized. It became five companies. This is what the original idea actually looked like.
