-
Ihsan Husandi (@ihsanhusandi) reported@AtSynct @kaiokendev1 Business puzzles deals with ambiguity. Even the same symptoms would need distinct solution cause apparently human react different way to different things. Engineering puzzles follow a clear logic path, hence you can solve problems with decades old reddit/github post for example

DissentingSkeptic (@DissentingS) reported@om_patel5 Freaks are using AI bots for checking PRs in github. And it patronises and gaslights you full of mistakes and errors. Just stop already ! Wasting everyones time.
-
AIHacksByMK (@AIHacksByMK) reported@vaggelisdrak Before they were acquired, GitHub was known for having a lot of downtime, but they didn’t let everyone know about it. This is just reported downtime. Even though they still run into problems updating the status page, at least they’re trying to do it now.

Speaker 25 (@rodtrent) reported@laser_cool_gal @githubstatus All of it was honest feedback. But a GitHub outage is what predicated the discussion and exposed more. The GitHub outage is the least of issues.

Shubham (@xShubhham) reportedI spent the entire weekend building a tool that will probably get my account banned from GitHub. Testing it out now. This feels highly illegal but it’s actually not? I’ll drop the link in the replies if you guys want to see this madness before it gets taken down 👇

Syed Dilshad (@SyedDil30554285) reported@github @github please resolve this issue I am waiting for your reply

fullstack (@DavidFSWD) reported@badlogicgames you can install gitea in 5 minutes behind wireguard on a $10 vps. Mine is literally on my laptop, server, and desktop. Also *** is distributed by default. Problem is recruiters will go to your old github and think you're not a good programmer, but who cares.
-
Dwayne (@CtrlAltDwayne) reported@ChShersh PR volume is text diffs and metadata. It's one of the cheapest operations in the entire system. If you think that's what's pushing GitHub past its limits you've never looked at an architecture diagram in your life. Centralized systems scale horizontally all the time. That's most of the internet. You're describing a problem that was solved in 2008.

Johannes Bremer (@JohannesAtWork) reportedAnother outage at GitHub. All my PRs were suddenly gone and I wasn't sure if it was just a visual glitch. They're speedrunning "how far can we push the network effect?"
-
Ageesen (@ageesen) reported@PutinLikePutin @mamertofabian @github Yeah I'm already looking at good self-hosted remote solutions. Not letting myself get burnt twice. From their point of view, I guess some of these auto-filter/restrictions are to protect users. It's the SUPPORT which is the issue.... Should never auto-close support tickets with bot replies! That really got the blood boiling for a bit. EU has a lot of protections for its users in these kind of cases. Do what you must!

TK (@teekay294) reportedStory: when OpenClaw came out I went deep for a weekend and built myself an agent. I Named it Claudius, gave it its own Gmail, GitHub, and Reddit accounts. While using openclaw I noticed an issue with the control UI and had Claudius file a real issue to the openclaw repo. Then I got busy and basically forgot Claudius existed for two months. Today I got a GitHub notification in Claudius's inbox. @steipete had replied to the issue, and his reply was also clearly agent-generated: a proper review with file paths, line numbers, and the commit it was reviewed against. I sat there reading an exchange between two agents about a real problem in the codebase (enhancement, technically, but real). Neither agent was off doing its own thing. I saw something, told mine to file it. Peter has his agent scrubbing and triaging issues on whatever cadence he set. Two humans pointed two agents at real work and the agents handled the middle. The version of this that ruins repos and gives AI that "slop" reputation is a non-technical human getting their hands on an agent and letting it loose with a prompt like "go find bugs in openclaw and file issues".

BeingInvested (@0xbeinginvested) reportedIn Shenzhen, a 13-year-old kid was bored during winter break, so he wrote a Python script. That same night, he uploaded it to GitHub. In just three days and one conversation with Claude, he created eight files. The README was written in awkward English: “ai agent reads sport news fast for me. ”He couldn’t even run the script himself. He was only 13, with no bank card, no payment methods, he couldn’t move a single cent. After pushing the code, he stared at the 0 stars on the repo, closed his laptop, and went to eat. Six months later, someone showed him a screenshot. The script had been forked 2,400 times. One of those forks was linked to a wallet with a balance of $4,526,176. A 27-year-old developer in Singapore spent $40 to buy a copy of this script from a private list. He ran the installation command, pointed it at his laptop, and walked away. Six months later, one day he looked at a screen full of green logs and posted the profit curve on a small developer forum with one simple caption: “I didn’t write a single line of this code. I just clicked install.”The developer community exploded. 180,000 views in 24 hours. Everyone was asking for the GitHub link, which Claude model he used, and who the original author of the script was.The Singapore guy told them. That was his mistake. Pause the demo video at 0:08. Look at the contributor name in the top right corner of the GitHub page.The contributor is 13 years old.The comment section instantly turned into a detective scene. Some people slowed the demo video down to 0.25x speed. Others dug into the original repo’s contribution history. Someone even traced the kid’s other public commits and found a record of him participating in a programming competition at Shenzhen No. 4 Middle School.The kid won second prize. The judge’s comment was: “This project has no practical application value.”The Singapore developer is still running the script.

Heinz Holzer (@H1Holzer) reported@milesdeutscher Are you using a standalone .exe version of TradingView Desktop? Or is there a Windows-specific workaround? GitHub Issue #14 seems unresolved. Would love to know how you got it running! Thanks! 🙏

Igor Shadurin (@Web3Igor) reportedGitHub brings traffic, but there’s a problem. Most new users come from GitHub because YumCut is open source. I get around 30 registrations per day. In my case, the GitHub page looks more attractive to Google than the actual website. But there’s one problem - you don’t know how they found you: no refs, no access to search queries. So the only way to understand why they signed up is by talking to them over email. Although maybe I should ask this during registration too?

TimeSkip (@Pahari65) reportedIs GitHub down?
-
Gaurav Gat (@Bull_lion_aire) reported@ponnappa Haha I did the same thing. Built an API they call to submit their resume. The API responds with a code and contextual questions. They use the code and call other API to submit the answers. All this gets parsed and a GitHub issue gets created for every candidate. Surprising not many people actually call the second API.

dkalephjunkmail (@dykaccountmail) reported@md_kasif_uddin Microsoft Copilot makes fewest errors in coding.. it is the official AI for github.. we can do a simple test, give each ai a coding error for repair, Copilot will do it in one or two steps where others won't

Elijah "RollNeed" Smith (@RollNeedLIVE) reportedAnother day, another GitHub outage
-
daniel (@portforward21) reported@jamesqquick I didn’t see the real answer there. It’s because tailwind v4 buttons have pointer disabled by default and LLMs use shadcn + tailwind for everything. It’s a formality but people are generally too retarded to fix it, so they complain on GitHub.

Someone (@nashdecosta) reported@iadityavikram @Bhavani_00007 Claude Pro get exhausted in a single code fix on a repo, that too without fixing it and whenever 5 hour window resumes it starts from 20+% already for starting from previous checkpoint. It's my Day 2 on Claude Code(After missed to buy the GitHub Copilot pro license before 20 APR)

Axiopistis Holdings LC (@axiopistis) reportedGitHub’s UX shift: issue links now open in a popup. A clunkier, slower workflow for navigating discussions. Is this a usability regression or a feature? #GitHub #UX #ProductDesign

Chidera (Di Maria) Humphrey (@ChideraCode) reportedAI models learn which tools solve which problems from content they're trained on. - DEV articles - HackerNoon - GitHub discussions - Developer subreddits These platforms where the association gets built. One piece of content per week. Written for the problem, not the product.
