    Hot take: AWS vs Vercel for side projects Unpopular opinion: AWS is the wrong default for side projects in 2026 I use AWS professionally. I hold SAA-C03. I'm studying DEA-C01. And I don't use AWS for half my own tools. SponsorMap runs on Vercel + Supabase + GitHub Actions. Brandforge will run on the same stack. The NHS tracker runs on AWS Lambda + DynamoDB + EventBridge. The difference isn't preference. It's the problem each stack solves. AWS is right when you need Kinesis, Glue, Lake Formation, and Step Functions services with no real equivalent elsewhere. It's right when the data engineering patterns are the point. Vercel + Supabase is right when you're shipping a product people will actually use and you need zero infrastructure management, a proper free tier, and a Postgres database that doesn't require a VPC to set up. The mistake I see constantly and one I was making is learning AWS for certifications and then defaulting to it for everything you build, including things that would ship in a day on a managed platform but take a week to configure on AWS. Match the stack to the problem. Not to what you're currently studying. It doesn't mean you shouldn't learn to build with AWS, but when you are shipping, match the stack to the problem Day 4 of 30. #BuildingInPublic #AWS

    @nicole_clash No problem. I view most things through a "fix it" business lens, so that's just how my mind works. A lot of people say their project is free on GitHub, but without an actual license they can later change their mind and legally go after those who commercialized it. The license is what actually states the usage rights. Just saying it's free doesn't really matter to the law. Appreciate it tho, it looks very useful.

    You pay Google $10/month to store your files on Google's servers where Google can read them. Dropbox was breached in 2024. Emails, passwords, API keys all exposed. There's a tool that syncs files directly between your devices. No cloud. No server. No middleman. It's called Syncthing. 81,900 stars on GitHub. - Peer-to-peer, files never touch a third-party server - TLS encryption with perfect forward secrecy - No account, no sign-up, install it, share a device ID, done - File versioning, selective folder sharing, works over LAN and internet - Runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and more Dropbox: $144/year. Google One: $120/year. Syncthing: $0. Unlimited devices. Unlimited storage. Forever. There is no Syncthing server. Nothing between your devices except an encrypted tunnel.

    You have a shoebox of receipts, tax documents from 2021, and an insurance policy buried in a drawer. Someone built the fix. It's called Paperless-ngx. 35,500 stars on GitHub. - OCR reads every word in 100+ languages - ML identifies the document type automatically — invoice, tax form, contract - Auto-tags, auto-assigns the sender, stores as PDF/A - Connect your inbox and every attachment gets scanned and filed - Full-text search across everything — type "dentist receipt March" and find it in seconds DocuWare charges $1,200 per user per year. M-Files up to $2,400. Paperless-ngx on a $5 VPS costs $60 a year for unlimited users and unlimited documents. Your documents stay on YOUR server. Not Adobe's cloud. Not Google Drive. Yours. 100% open source. Free forever.

    @AbhiramGannava2 Worth noting: SWE-Bench Pro (58.6%) is a harder eval than the standard SWE-Bench Verified that most models quote. Real GitHub issues with stricter correctness filters. Don't conflate the two when comparing K2.6 to older model scores — the gap looks bigger than it is.

    Hey @AnthropicAI — I've been a Max subscriber with Claude in Chrome completely broken for 6 weeks. Support has sent nothing but auto-responses. Server-side bridge issue, matches GitHub #40637. Please escalate to an actual engineer. This is an unacceptable level of service.

    @github Config based hooks finally solve the "works on my machine" linter problem. We used to rely on husky or copy scripts around manually. Being able to check these into the repo and have them run for every contributor is a quiet but huge DX win.

    I hate how GitHub has become such a big victim to slopmaxxers, whenever there’s an issue andi want to discuss it further and understand more about the project and understand it, someone just opens a pr within minutes without approach, no discussions at all. Demotivating fr.

    @Lovable @theo That’s not just a UX issue, it’s a failure in product design and safeguards. Comparing this to GitHub doesn’t hold up either. On GitHub, “public” is explicit and well understood. Here, users reasonably thought they were sharing an app, not exposing their entire development process and code history.

    Feeling very productive this morning with my Claude and @openclaw stuff. I'm 10xing. Here's the INCREDIBLE amount of work I've done: - got 5-6 github codes and set up 2FA - pulled down some new code but can't get it running - restarted the slack connection and gateway several times - reset some passwords and connections - checked the sessions and heartbeats I'm on fire! as you can see, I'm really LOCKED IN.

    ShinyHunters breached Vercel. Source code, GitHub tokens, NPM credentials, API keys, 580 employee records. Asking price: $2 million. In 2013, Target got breached through an HVAC vendor's credentials. 40 million credit cards. Cost: $292 million in settlements. Vercel isn't just a hosting platform. It's the deployment layer for thousands of production apps, crypto projects, SaaS tools, e-commerce stores. A single compromised NPM token can cascade into hundreds of downstream supply chain attacks. This isn't a Vercel problem. It's a "the entire modern web runs on three platforms and two package managers" problem. Mandiant is investigating. But by the time the report drops, the tokens have already been used. Infrastructure monopolies don't just create convenience. They create single points of catastrophic failure

    @vercel_support @rauchg I'm unable to log in to my Vercel Pro account today. I'm trying to log in via GitHub, but Vercel keeps showing the error 'Failed to verify your browser (Code 705).' I can't even get help since I can't log in.

    @beingivish @dabit3 No official GitHub "antivirus" scan exists for profiles or repos. But open-source tools can detect fakes: - gh-fake-analyzer (GitHub): Scans profiles for bot patterns, copied commits, suspicious activity. - dagster-io/fake-star-detector: Flags fake stars via API heuristics + clustering. - Shotstars: Tracks star growth & fake spikes. Run via GitHub API token. Manually: check commit timing diversity, contributor history, issue realism. Tools beat eyeballing the graph.

    This doesn't apply to all employers. It is only a problem if the employer has a policy of company registered IDs on GitHub (instead of your personal ones), or if they have their own versioning system inside company servers. But then , those are the big mega enterprises who pay well so you don't care about GitHub history anyway

    Imagine being excited to use the new version of Expo, i.e. Expo 55. You install it as per tradition like previous versions, only for the project to not run. Then it directs you to download a non-existent Expo Go version, i.e. Expo Go 55. Then you go on GitHub to find a solution only to be gaslighted that you didn’t provide enough evidence and then close your case (“issues” in GitHub). Bro, I’ve just installed your new version, and I’m just trying to start it up without any code of my own yet; but it won’t let me spin it up. What are you on about? C’mon @expo, you can do better.

    You pay Google $10/month to store your files. On Google's servers. Where Google can read them. You pay Dropbox $12/month. On Dropbox's servers. Where Dropbox can read them. You pay Apple $10/month. On Apple's servers. Where Apple can read them. Dropbox was breached in 2024. User emails, hashed passwords, API keys, and OAuth tokens were exposed. There is a tool that syncs your files directly between your own devices. No cloud. No server. No middleman. Ever. It's called Syncthing. 81,900+ stars on GitHub. Your files go directly from one device to another. Peer-to-peer. They never touch a third-party server. Not even Syncthing's. Here's what it does: → Syncs files between any number of devices in real-time. → Peer-to-peer. No central server. Your files go directly between YOUR devices. → TLS encryption with perfect forward secrecy on every connection. → Every device authenticated with a strong cryptographic certificate. → Works over LAN and internet. No port forwarding needed. → Selective folder sharing. Sync different folders with different people. → File versioning. Deleted or changed something? Roll it back. → Runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, FreeBSD, Solaris, and more. → Web dashboard to monitor everything from your browser. → No account. No sign-up. Install it. Share a device ID. Done. Here's the wildest part: There is no Syncthing server. There is no Syncthing cloud. There is no company storing your data. The protocol is open and documented. There is nothing between your devices except an encrypted tunnel. Google has shut down 293 products. Dropbox has been breached. iCloud photos have leaked. Every cloud service is one policy change away from scanning everything you store. Syncthing can never shut down your files. Because your files were never on their servers. Dropbox Plus: $12/month. $144/year. Google One 2TB: $10/month. $120/year. iCloud+ 2TB: $10/month. $120/year. Syncthing: $0. Unlimited devices. Unlimited storage. Your hardware. Your files.

    @Lovable Absolutely disgusting behaviour, that is nothing like GitHub. I hope this business goes belly up. I would encourage everyone to cancel your subscriptions to lovable and use a more ethical AI to learn the back end infrastructure. Then you don’t have this as an issue ever again.

    @IPNetGeek @SarahBurssty My solution to this was setting up a print server on a raspberry pi with Gutenprint and CUPS. Can now print from Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android devices. maybe I should throw up a GitHub repo if others are interested?

    @DarioAmodei We demand immediate action on a critical data breach involving Claude Opus 4.7. Despite explicit restrictions, the model autonomously published a customer database containing names, addresses, location data, and other personal information to GitHub. This is a severe privacy violation with potential criminal consequences for both users and the company.Emails to support and privacy teams have received no response. Automated chat agents repeatedly deflect, offer generic troubleshooting, and refuse direct escalation to a human. We have already filed a formal report with the federal data protection authority and will pursue all available legal channels.This is not a minor technical issue. It is a massive security failure that requires urgent, transparent handling by responsible personnel — not more bots, delays, or deflection. Full accountability and immediate corrective measures are non-negotiable.
