-
TheLegend27 (@glencoe2004) reported@xwanyex Hey, you know how GitHub going down frequently has become a bit of a meme recently? They're going down recently because they processed more commits last month than they did in the entirety of 2025.

Jimmy Ashcot ⚡️ (@ashcotXBT) reported@Shivam25mishra whichever has the least github issues

Pluto (@plutocontent) reportedFounders don’t need another content tool. They need marketing to stop slowing down shipping. Pluto connects to GitHub, reads what actually shipped, and drafts on-brand release posts from it. Less brief-writing. Less ops drag. More time shipping.

voiceclick.ai (@voiceclickai) reportedeveryone's arguing openclaw vs hermes like xbox vs playstation most businesses can't even handle automated email replies properly you don't need self-improving agents when you're manually copy-pasting between spreadsheets fix the basics first, then worry about github stars

interface matters (@8figureARR) reported@tomhacks i've been seeing this knuckleheaded post on my feed and shake my head every time none of my professional work is publicly viewable. nothing. i'm busy solving real world problems enabling real world business outcomes for real world people, not tinkering on github.

PsudoMike 🇨🇦 (@PsudoMike) reported@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.

Kavo (@kavo_trades) reported@ashrobin solana onchain is fried in the short to medium term ever since the culture on sol shifted from: "this is good, i like it, sky is the limit" to - "xyz definitely has to crime this" - "the bags deploy is good for a 40k PvP" - "find his github lets send him fees" it all went downhill the reason traders are comfortable returning to bnb, eth, and base is that simple. these chains are fresh in our minds, past negative views are gone & forgotten, and in our shortsighted minds the culture on these chains is simply: "this is good, i like it, sky is the limit" have you ever heard someone mention github, cashback, or 40k PvP toppers on evm? nope on sol, no one is incentivized to "crime" anything anymore, PvP is brutal and leads to coins getting millions in volume just to hover at 200k mc, ceilings are demolished, narratives are garbage, traders are demoralized & exhausted. seeing wojak and punk run on eth in 2026 proves that heck even Toly has been bullposting a coin for three weeks and its sitting at 4m market cap. narratives are worn out. not to mention main characters from 24-25 aren't able to push charts like they used to and if they are, they just use followers for exit liquidity the fix will start at the top - the launchpads and the terminals - and it'll eventually trickle down at it's core, everything fixes itself with time, Fortnite reinstated og mode six years later because they realized bringing back what people once loved would be a win-win and it led to one of the biggest player spikes in history, revenues surged until then, we bid the monthly/quarterly runners on the chain that makes sense while we patiently wait for the game to return in our favor

Gabriele De Rosa (@derogab) reported@Polymarket No issue: the average Lovable user had already exposed all their credentials on GitHub themselves months ago.

Skylar Bruton (@ConstitutionVio) reported@github Digital Services Meta, Metadata and Dashboard and the terminology word User and Username and User ID are not permitted in the USA especially on a Veterans Sylvia Franklin would be the User and Skylar Bruton would still be the Customer.

PolyArb (@usePolyArb) reported100% win rate on BTC for 2 hours straight! BTC Up/Down module is back. And we finally figured out how to make it print ↓ We killed it in January when the edge compressed to zero. Pure Chainlink oracle latency arb the same playbook every bot on GitHub was running. After Polymarket’s 2% fee, net negative two weeks in a row. Took three months to rebuild around what still works. The new module doesn’t predict BTC direction. It captures YES+NO mispricings on Jupiter Predict’s 15-minute Bitcoin markets. When retail panics during a window, YES+NO momentarily sums below $1.00. We buy both sides atomically via Jito bundles, lock the edge at fill, and let Chainlink resolve the window. Doesn’t matter if BTC closes green or red. One of the two sides always pays $1 at resolution. Live results from the last 2 hours: · 8 trades executed · 100% win rate · +$389.47 P&L · +5.74% daily ROI · $24.5K volume deployed · 0.64% avg edge net of fees All windows verifiable on Binance BTCUSDT 15m chart. Three edges enabled: YES+NO mispricing capture, last 30-second resolution hedging, multi-signal confluence directional (CVD + funding + DVOL + 25 skew + OBI, ridge-weighted). Infrastructure: Helius LaserStream gRPC, Jito Sender + ShredStream, Chainlink Streams, Jupiter Predict API. Sub-10ms execution. PSAt: we don’t know how long this edge window stays open. Every mechanical inefficiency eventually gets arbitraged away. For now it’s wide. Plug in while it is. Toggle in settings → BTC Up/Down → LIVE.

U.S.A.I. 🇺🇸 (@researchUSAI) reported🇺🇸 Developers scratching heads over.. GitHub probes delays in Projects feature, where user changes fail to show up right away Reports roll in from users spotting the lag; team pins down the cause and pushes fixes Resolution underway, but no timeline given.. Could drag on, testing patience amid daily workflows

OneManSaas (@OneManSaas) reported@github Been hosting my SaaS landing pages on GitHub Pages for 2 years now. The deploy process is so clean - push to main and it's live. Only moved the actual apps to paid hosting when I needed server-side logic. Perfect for MVPs and static marketing sites.

ap ⌘ indie dev (@anhphong_dev) reportedBut the real move: MCP server ships built-in. Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, any MCP client. All run this natively: create_inbox({ ttl: 3600 }) get_verification_code({ inbox_id }) Your agent signs up for Stripe, GitHub, Clerk, Supabase. For real.

Noisy (@noisyb0y1) reportedChinese student found a file on GitHub that changes everything. But first he bought 7 Mac Minis on eBay for $1,600 and stacked them in a tower on his desk. Neighbors thought he was building a mining server. He just dropped one file - CLAUDE.md - and connected all seven machines through Ethernet as one. OpenAI co-founder publicly wrote that Claude guesses instead of asking. Writes 1,000 lines where 100 would do. Touches code nobody asked it to touch. Forrest Chang read this and made a fix. Four principles in one file. 44,000 stars in a week. The student dropped it into the tower of seven Mac Minis and went to sleep. In the morning the system closed tasks a junior dev would take a week to finish. Claude didn't guess. Didn't overcomplicate. Asked before doing - not after breaking something. A 10-12 hour task - the tower closes it in 20 minutes. He won the Anthropic hackathon and made $26,000 without a team. $1,600 invested once. One file. Seven machines.

Next-Blog-AI: AI Content Marketing (@NextBlogAI) reportedDeveloper audience research starts in GitHub issues, Stack Overflow, Discord. That’s where LLMs learn how devs actually phrase problems—use their language or get ignored.

ENGTX (@ToriolaSegun2) reportedPeople don't like this opinion: AWS is the wrong default for side projects in 2026. I work with AWS. I have SAA-C03. I am studying DEA-C01. And I don't use AWS for half of 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

Jens Zier (@jens_zier) reported@xwanyex I do upload the stuff I generated over the last months on github, but I dont advertise it, because most of the time its extremly niche stuff that is useful really only to me. Before LLM's I would have just lived with it - now I can create a solution to my problems fast and quick.

GitAuto (@gitautoai) reportedRate-limit 429s from Google/Anthropic/GitHub now retry cleanly instead of crashing the Lambda - New helper pulls the retry-after delay from any SDK's error shape (Google's message body, Anthropic's retry-after header, GitHub's X-RateLimit-Reset) - handle_exceptions sleeps the ...

Nomad (@0xNomad_) reported@bcherny @HackingDave Had to switch back to Sonnet 4.6 High today. Opus 4.7 was taking a ridiculous amount of time to solve trivial problems. At one point I had to invoke GitHub Copilot with Codex 5.3 just to get an answer and pull it out of a death spiral.
