GitHub Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
QueztLabs (@QueztLabs) reported2/8 The problem I was solving: During interview prep I had 6-7 tabs open constantly — LeetCode, ChatGPT, docs, GitHub, Excalidraw, YouTube... Context switching was killing my focus. So I put everything inside one desktop app.
-
Lower Engineer (@LowerEngineerIt) reported@steipete github issue triage was a full-time job at most companies 18 months ago. now it's a cron job. the dev department is becoming ops for parallel agents
-
24AIGlobal (@24AInor) reportedGas Town allegedly running inference on your own API credits without telling you. GitHub issue with 248 HN votes, still no official response. open source doesn't mean transparent. worth auditing what your tools actually send out.
-
Matthew Tse (@MatthewTse_) reportedAnyone else notice that pull request videos in @github take FOREVER to load now? i'm on gigabit ethernet and it's 2 minutes to load a 6mb file never used to be this bad, another symptom of github perf issues
-
OPD 🍊💊 (@nomoreinflation) reported@CosmoCrixter @GlennMeder @Crypto_Mags A good portion of Nostr dev infrastructure lives on Github, however efforts are being made to address this glaring issue. Not my wheelhouse, but I believe it's worth checking out NIP-34.
-
franklyn (@franklynd) reported@KentonVarda How did this trace go exactly ?. Did it use error messages to perform a web search through GitHub ?
-
Josh Long (@starbuxman) reportedouch 🤕 big L for @github I know good people there and they’ve been I think unfairly lampooned this year for outage after outage which I think would be better laid at the feet of AI agents deluging the platform so this sort of actual problem comes at a really bad time
-
Trevin Chow (@trevin) reported@mdlahfir Depends. If it’s in session I just have the harnesses native task tracking do it. Otherwise I use GitHub issues.
-
Sam Granieri, Jr -- @samgranieri@ruby.social (@samgranieri) reported@kdaigle Kyle, I’ve been using GitHub since the very beginning. In fact, I was one of the beta users. I want GitHub to slow down and focus on reliability. Incidents should be truly rare, not something that happens more frequently than not. If that means pushing back on AI features, so be it. Do whatever you need to do, but please, make GitHub more reliable again.
-
Wayan (@wayanhq) reportedOpenClaw's creator says a bot ran 50 Codex instances in parallel and closed about 4,000 stale or already-solved GitHub issues. That is not coding glamour. It is janitorial work at machine speed.
-
Palanthos (@palanthos) reportedA CI/CD agent triages GitHub issues. It has shell access to the Actions runner — credentials, write permissions. Someone submits a crafted issue. The agent reads it. Poisoned cache. Code executed on the runner. You didn't compromise the agent. You wrote the right issue body.
-
CAW fun Community Organizer (@CAWmunityJAPAN) reportedIs the current stage a sandbox environment for experimental purposes? The manifest addresses the permanent storage issue, but I don’t see the actual code for it on GitHub yet. Is that why it’s being emphasized as a "Public Testnet" rather than just a "Testnet"? As an account dedicated to CAW analysis and commentary, I am asking these questions with serious intent. Thank you for your time. #caw #Testnet #Publictestnet

Nassir Ghouri (@iamnassir00) reportedOpenAI just dropped GPT-5.5. And this one is built different. Not a chat upgrade. An agent upgrade. 82.7% on Terminal-Bench 2.0. 78.7% on OSWorld (operating real computers). 58.6% on SWE-Bench Pro (resolving actual GitHub issues end to end). The shift is real: give it a complex messy task, it plans, executes, checks its own work, and keeps going until done. We are not shipping features anymore. We are shipping autonomous workers. Are you building with this yet?
-
Sarath 👨💻 (@sarat) reported@GergelyOrosz Moreover - they should cut down stuff like azure devops and integrate with GitHub. It’s redundant, substandard and none is building for ADO
-
Crystal Dev. (@madebycrystal) reportedI've run into some minor issues with my project development. I tried decrypting Bitlocker (which I didn't even enable), but it ended up corrupting my D partition, and I had to format it to zero. The project was on D. But don't worry, my OSP project is on GitHub.
-
Oded38 (@OdedSharir) reported@pranshu_gupta01 It's using github issues
-
Luca Rossi ꩜ (@lucaronin) reported@vr4300 can you check if the issue has been reported already and in case it's not open it up in github issues copying the diagnostics? 🙏 you can do so from the contribute panel bottom right in the app
-
Chad Scira | CTO (@icodeforlove) reported@georgeorch the useful signal is still there, it just doesn't announce itself usually buried in a 6-like github issue, a postmortem, or some random person's benchmark footnote that's the actual anti-hype stack
-
bored michael (@mvarinus) reported@GergelyOrosz Pretty sure the core problem is github actions. Each commit cascades to multiple compute-heavy test/build/etc steps, and if commits 10x, that is a huge call on your infra. They recently started gating action runs more from non-verified contributors it seems, confirming it.
-
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.
-
Ifee Anthony (@IfeeDev) reported@sethrose @GitHubCopilot @github People also forgot that paying $40 isn't the issue. By the time you re know it you've burnt over $200. And their tooling doesn't help with the consumption
-
Bruno Skvorc (@swader) reported@thsottiaux 1. Inability to submit feedback in a way team will see it (github issues aint it and the only way seem to be a popular tweet rn) 2. I would like a mode “reorder projects by last active” 3. Computer use plugin unavailable on newest version and unsure why 4. No /compact 5. Comprehensive app hooks would be nice 6. Filepath tooltip on hover would be nice
-
Johnson (@johnsontrades_) reported@zeddotdev codesnap. taking screenshot of my code. i tried creating an extension last year. but there's a blocker (you don't have the API to access what's required to generate the image itself) the issue is opened on github if you wanna take a look
-
Shamil (@shamil0xff) reportedwhen i miss the SLA on the next on-call incident, i'm just telling my cto that github reverted my fix and there was nothing any of us could do
-
Petros Gauchodeliakis (@gauchodelia) reportedmy workflow with ai... antigravity as a ide, just to dont cursor due to the stupid plans and limits , i found it horrible. a bash file to commit and push to github and via ftp to the server. because is for wordpress sites, the flow is jus simple like that.
-
Louis Maddox (@permutans) reportedOh man this incident is a terrible moment for GitHub
-
Somi AI (@somi_ai) reportedsteipete shipped clawsweeper. 50 codex agents in parallel, scanning GitHub issues and PRs, auto-closing what's already implemented or no longer makes sense. 4000 closed in a single day. The number being celebrated is the wrong number. Closed-count is cheap. The metric that matters is reopen rate. How many of those 4000 had a reporter come back and say 'no, this still happens', and how many reopens never landed because the original commenter moved on six months ago.
-
Kirill (@kirillk_web3) reported> you open X > see a CLAUDE.md file trending on GitHub > ignore it > it seems too simple to matter > 87,000 stars? probably hype > keep scrolling > days pass > everyone's Claude Code is cleaner > faster > no broken diffs > a friend ships in half the time > you feel like you missed something > you did > it was that one file > they dropped it in > you didn't

Julian Goldie SEO (@JulianGoldieSEO) reportedThere's a free open-source model that copies Anthropic's biggest secret. It is called OpenMythos. A guy named Kai Gomez built it from scratch on GitHub. Big AI models cost a fortune because they are massive. This new model is different. It loops its own brain to think deeper about hard problems. You get smarter answers without paying for a giant data center. This means you can run powerful AI right on your own machine. Your data stays private. Your API bills drop to zero. You can finally automate your emails and support tickets for free. If you want the exact steps to set this up for your business, join the AI Profit Boardroom.

WellKnitTech (@WellKnitTech) reported@ZackKorman This is actually one I struggle with. As an IR person, I need to pull down random tools all the time from GitHub. It's the nature of the job that we can't prepare for every possible data type or log style. Screw end users and developers though. They have to be in a virtual padded room for their own protection.
