opdroid1234 (@opdroid1234) reported@HotAisle I do think making money on "github actions is too slow for agents" zeitgeist might be the same kind of side business for you that selling turbines is for boom supersonic

Victor Chidera Ugwu (@_VictorUgwu) reported2. Sharing only code, not insights A GitHub full of notebooks nobody reads = invisible. Businesses hire analysts to drive decisions, not to flex window functions. Fix: For every project, write a one-page summary in plain English. "We should raise prices on product X because..."

Sean Keenan (@sean9keenan) reported@brian_lovin Semi-relatedly: I’m back to VS Code from Cursor, autocomplete seems much better now! (Not that I’m crafting code by hand much) But importantly, the… basics seem much more stable (Cmd+f, and saving have been pretty broken in Cursor recently) Curious how GitHub Copilot feels!

Harry Tandy (@HarryTandy) reported> open Hermes for the first time > looks like another ai chat wrapper > close it after 20 minutes > think “why would anyone pay for this” > then plug in Firecrawl, Reddit, YouTube transcripts > suddenly the agent has eyes on the web, ears on forums, memory from 3-hour podcasts > ask it to research a sponsor > it scrapes the site, checks Reddit rage, pulls YouTube mentions > drops a one-page “take / don’t take” brief in Discord > add Browserbase > now it clicks through sites that block scrapers > add Bland > now it can call restaurants, vendors, support lines > add Stripe > now “why did this customer churn?” comes back with refunds, failed charges, receipts > plug in Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Sheets > now it lives where your work already lives > plug in GitHub > now it can triage issues and review PRs > plug in Obsidian, Readwise, Granola > now it remembers meetings, highlights, notes you forgot you wrote > wake up Monday > Hermes already pulled revenue, subs, refunds, churn, follower growth > posts the week-vs-last-week dashboard before coffee > realize the chatbot didn’t get smarter > you just gave it limbs

curio drome (@smashsharp) reported@horse_meds @michalmalewicz m very sincerely seeing those things as just amped up search engines. Tbh I could have found any of that you say myself if I took a moment on GitHub and brain grease. It just sped up the search and tbh I don’t like cleaning up AI’s errors

Vitor Cepeda Lopes (@TheAngryPit) reported@github @code Still waiting for your reply on an issue of you terminating my subscription account when you stop accepting new accounts. Even though I had subscribed a week prior to those news. Would love to have at least a reply on my message to support

nadya (@sosidudku) reportedRan Hermes Agent and OpenClaw on the same task: scrape GitHub star history for both tools, find what caused the growth spikes, build a live dashboard in the browser. Local model: Qwen 3.6 35B OpenClaw: 203k tokens, 12m 01s — wrote a bash script Hermes: 257k tokens, 33m 01s — wrote a SKILL.md OpenClaw: 203k tokens, 12m 01s — wrote a bash script Hermes: 257k tokens, 33m 01s — wrote a SKILL.md OpenClaw: hit GitHub API, got truncated responses, paginated through contributors, pulled star-history JSON, found a security incident in OpenClaw's history, fetched SVGs, fixed broken HTML from trimming, rewrote it clean. Hermes: parallel tool calls across GitHub API, web search, and browser. Hit Google rate limit, auto-switched to DuckDuckGo. Fetched article contents, mapped viral moments, then built the dashboard. Both shipped a live dashboard with star growth charts and spike annotations.

Hiren Thakkar (@thehirenthakkar) reportedMicrosoft's GitHub got a 400% increase in organic traffic. No new content. No link building. No redesign. They fixed cannibalization. Blog posts competing with marketing pages. Multiple pages fighting for the same keyword. None winning. Removed the mess. 400% increase. Check it today for free: → Screaming Frog: crawl your site, export titles + H1s + canonicals. Two pages targeting same keyword? One is killing the other. Missing canonicals? Even worse. → Detailed SEO Extension: free Chrome plugin. One click shows canonical, title, H1, H2s. → Google Search Console: filter by keyword → Pages tab. Multiple URLs? That's cannibalization. Fix: pick strongest page. Redirect or no-index the rest. Add missing canonicals. Sometimes you don't need more content. You need the basics done right. Try it this weekend and tell me what you find. (GitHub case study via Brain Labs.)

Yordis Prieto (@yordisprieto) reportedI just realized I was DDoS @github due to @warpdotdev and the Agent Toolbar. I was running into GraphQL Rate Limiting (fine it is not DDoS, still they have to deal with the traffic) and I couldn't tell why, so eventually I figured out the `agents.third_party.should_render_cli_agent_toolbar = false` would fix the issue. Trying to see if I can fix this myself now.

bestmark1 (@bestmark_one) reportedThis pattern repeats: AI setups often fail at edges—heartbeats, polling GitHub issues, error recovery—not the core models.

Tom (@T3metrics) reported@JasonLixfeld Yeah it's all docker. I'm not sure what you mean. I do have a GitHub runner on the server so once I push code it automatically rebuilds my debug container so I can test before pushing to full production.

Chandraprakash Darji (@chandra_7852) reported@raycast Feature Request: Bangs, like in alfred we can hit space and search something it will list only file. Something like thies we can set bangs for file search, clipboard, github issue serach. It is hard to set the shortcut for everything

Michał Piszczek (@cdiamond) reported@theinformation GitHub still owns the repo. the problem is Copilot assumed devs would never leave VSCode

Upwind Security MDR (@UpwindMDR) reported🚨 Critical- actions-cool/issues-helper Supply Chain Attack (May 2026) A critical supply chain attack has compromised the popular actions-cool/issues-helper GitHub Action. Similar to the notorious tj-actions breach pattern, attackers manipulated the repository to force all existing version tags (e.g., @v1, @v2, @v3) to point directly to an imposter commit. Workflows referencing this action via a mutable tag automatically pull malicious code designed to scrape running memory and exfiltrate highly privileged CI/CD credentials. 👉 Affected: actions-cool/issues-helper (All version tags) | Action - Pivot to full commit SHAs immediately and rotate compromised repo secrets

Arm8tron 🫡 (@Arm8tron) reported@grimcodes was checking it out and got an error when I opened the automations tab when opened without installing github app. iirc, the error was something along the lines of "couldn't read 'id' of null' . Didnt get this error after I gave repo access btw. Not a huge bug but just putting it out

Darnisha Patel (@Darnisha_patel) reported• Claude for coding. • GitHub for version control. • Vercel for deploying. • Clerk for auth. • Supabase for backend. • Stripe for payments. • Cloudflare for DNS. • Resend for emails. • Upstash for Redis. • Pinecone for vector DB. • Namecheap for domain. • Sentry for error tracking. • PostHog for analytics. You can literally ship a startup from your bedroom now. It’s not that deep bro.

Mr. Buzzoni (@polydao) reportedMartin Keen from IBM just explained the debate that's splitting Claude and AI agent developers in half CLI vs MCP - and the answer will save you thousands of tokens > GitHub MCP server loads 80 tools into context = 55,000 tokens before your agent does anything > CLI: agent already knows grep, cat, *** cold from training data > MCP wins when Claude needs to render a JavaScript page - curl can't do that, MCP browser server can in 250 tokens > MCP wins for Slack, Notion, databases - OAuth handled by the server, not the agent the rule: use CLI when commands map directly to the job, use MCP when the abstraction earns its cost full breakdown above
