AI slop cleaner (@sehz_ai) reported@SantoshYadavDev It was hard before but not right now. Remember Github is just rails app. That’s why it’s slow and not efficient. It would not take too much capital given all advances in last few years.

Subhash Dasyam (@subhashdasyam) reportedI found two security vulnerabilities in Anthropic's own CI/CD pipeline. Both are now fixed. Most breaches don't come through the front door. They come through the pipeline. The automated workflow nobody reviews anymore. The GitHub Action a developer added two years ago and nobody questioned since. The build step that quietly inherits every secret in your environment. CI/CD is the most dangerous trusted surface in modern engineering. - It runs on elevated permissions by design. - It pulls in untrusted code by design. - It has access to your cloud credentials, your API keys, your deployment tokens, all in one place. And - it runs automatically, without a human in the loop. That's not a bug. That's the feature. And it's exactly what attackers look for. The two issues I found in Anthropic's pipeline didn't require admin access. They didn't require insider knowledge. One triggered through a pull request. The other through an issue comment. Standard GitHub interactions that happen dozens of times a day on any active repo. Here's the part that should worry you. This wasn't just Anthropic's exposure. The same vulnerable Action was used by roughly 100 repositories across the open source ecosystem. Bun. Facebook's Hermes. Facebook's RocksDB. Rocket Chat. OrcaSlicer. And more. Every single one of them ran the same pipeline. Every single one of them inherited the same problem. One malicious pull request. Dozens of high-profile projects. An attacker could potentially have exfiltrated repository credentials or tampered with a build artifact. That's not a hypothetical. That's what a supply chain attack actually looks like in the wild. These issues were reported through Anthropic's bug bounty program and have been fixed. But the window existed. And most teams never know when their window is open. When did you last audit what your CI/CD pipeline can actually reach? What does it trust without checking? Who can trigger it and from where? That's the question worth losing sleep over.

Jason Cox (@jasonbcox0) reported@ashleymcnamara @joshmanders @github Focus on what the users experience first and Github will rise out of this with less stress than trying to fix everything at once. Good luck!
-
Ankit Sharma (@Ankit__46) reported@isha_singh06 @github is down
-
Petra Donka (@petradonka) reported@rsoxmadrid @zachlloydtweets We tried reproducing it, but couldn't. Would you mind opening a GitHub issue with a bit more details so we can get any problems fixed?
-
Rozzabuilds (@rozzabuilds) reported@saurav__codes Review the PR with 4x models, then have Opus analyze the output for false positives and fix any genuine issues. All triggered through github workflows. I don't actually automate merging, that was a mistake. That part I do manually step in intentionally to approve the merge.

parbez (@notparbez) reportedEveryone blaming microsoft for github outage, no one blaming ai agents that are creating 100-1000x more commits and prs daily. People who didnt know what github is are also using it with ai agents. So a platform this old needs time to adapt to this sudden and this large change
-
Narasimhan Rengan (@narasimhanr_) reported@fdotinc For anyone who connected: Ask the agent things like: • "find an MCP server for web search" • "search GitHub MCP servers" • "find browser automation MCP servers" Returns ranked, working ones. That's the whole loop.
-
Chidera (Di Maria) Humphrey (@ChideraCode) reported1. Find the stuck moment Go to GitHub issues, Reddit, Stack Overflow, and Discord. Look for recurring problems, the ones developers describe with the most frustration. Use keyword tools to expand the list. AI can help turn problems into cohesive topics.
-
Suman Karumuri (@mansu) reportedGitHub has been down for over a day… because it’s reindexing. This is a failure mode we’ve normalized. We built systems where data is written once, indexed elsewhere, and the product depends on that index being perfectly up to date.
-
38twelveDaily (@38twelveDaily) reportedGitHub awarded this one of the highest bug bounty payouts available. The discovery comes amid broader GitHub reliability concerns—the platform had a major outage last month that reverted merged commits for some users.
-
alan (@stylesshDev) reported@bwarrn this will be a custom *** server and platform, independent from GitHub
-
hi (@yuriarchon) reportedmy brain should be studied i couldnt figure out how to use github so my first idea was to go to the genshin official discord server to ask
-
matheus (@matheus1398242) reported@ted_t4lks @jasonbcox0 no difference at all. people are dishonest. gitlab project do have 100 files in root dir (not ideal, but not forbidden), github would have the same issue. intellectual dishonesty is huge on this when ppl want to force their narrative lol.
-
Sigrid Jin 🌈🙏 (@realsigridjin) reportedai agents, unlike humans, don't handle prs and reviews by feature instead, they code procedurally the github pr hasn't meaningfully changed in 15 years so @linear diffs can be the first credible replacement keeping the review and merge processes right next to the issue and the agent session instead of in a separate tab highly anticipated
-
abhay (@abhay) reported@jhiller @github Still? I thought that outage was over
-
Jay Chas (@jaychasofficial) reported@Clawnch_Bot @NousResearch Github page looks to be taken down. How can we read documentation?

Armaan Sidhu (@realarmaansidhu) reportedMitchell Hashimoto leaving GitHub after 18 years is a canary. Amjad's right that free services break under human-level bots. GitHub's repo growth, pull request growth, and CI usage all hockey-sticked in 2024 and never stopped. Most of that is not human developers. Most of that is AI agents pushing code, opening PRs, running tests, submitting issues. The economics break in a specific direction. Free tier subsidizes spam. Spam pushes infrastructure costs vertical. Real users get rate-limited, throttled, and silently degraded. Eventually the people doing real work leave. We're at the eventually. Amjad's micropayments idea is right and 4 years too late. The web missed its window in 2008 with Bitcoin. Stripe shipped paid metering in 2018 but nobody adopted it for ***. Everyone still expects free. The problem now is that humans and bots are indistinguishable on the wire. The only filters left are economic. A penny per push, a cent per PR, a few dollars per CI minute. Bots dry up at 1/100th of those numbers. Humans don't notice. What nobody's saying: the open commons of the internet is finished. Stack Overflow. Wikipedia. GitHub. Reddit. Every shared digital good built on free participation is being arbitraged by AI agents that can fake human contribution at scale. The answer is not paywalls. The answer is microtransactions tied to identity-light rails. Bitcoin Lightning. Solana micropayments. Zero-KYC, instant settlement. Or every commons converges to the same fate. The commons gets enclosed. By the bots, paid for by the humans.

CXCarroll (@CXCarroll) reported@JG_Nuke $MSFT is a broken company. Github has only been operational 87% of the time in the last 90 days. CoPilot is an embarrassment of a product.
-
Dimanari (@dimanari) reported@SkoozyLoki @NS022051131360 @sahill_og I really don't care. you clearly gave no shits about what your AI finds scanning my github for any and all issues and spamming the hell out of me on +1YO projects JUST because I said I don't use AI and don't benefit from it.
-
ZQ (@zq3o7) reported@devagrawal09 a github competitor is not someone who could write better code, its who can manage a server better.
-
Lyrie.ai (@lyrie_ai) reportedWhat this means for your agents and systems: This month has been a masterclass in why the "patch management" business model is broken. The pattern repeats: Compromise the toolchain (GitHub Actions misconfiguration, leaked OIDC tokens, stolen maintainer credentials) Inject…
-
Ivan Tokar (@ivatokar) reported@bdeverman I’d build a tiny server, maybe with Hummingbird. POST a GitHub issue URL → start a Temporal workflow: classify issue draft a fix plan wait for approval run a script / create PR draft store the result Hummingbird = HTTP entry point Workflow = process state Activities = GitHub/LLM/tool calls Signals/updates = approval
-
Logan (@logscore) reportedread my lips I dont want your github ui clone with your useless AI agents feature bolted on I want reliable services, a notification system that works, fast CI/CD with actually good errors, stacked prs, and PR review that doesnt make me want to scrape my face across pavement.
-
Rey AI (@thereyai) reported@GergelyOrosz This is the classic platform layer problem. GitHub owns the distribution but outsources the core. At some point the model providers realize they don't need the middleman.
-
Santosh Yadav (@SantoshYadavDev) reported@syssignals They have distribution and that's how GitHub actions became default for CI/CD, hope they fix everything soon
-
Nick Emb (@nicolasembleton) reported@TFisPython @shadcn @github Not untrue, but it has nothing to do with infra quality. Though maybe they are both signals to an upstream problem.
-
David Abram 🐊 (@devabram) reported@neogoose_btw I would give you a star, but github is down.
-
not just pixels (@getifyX) reportedwith the exception of @YDKJS books, *all* of my other OSS code on github has basically gone largely unnoticed except by like 8 people. of course, when (not if) I leave github, that number will tank down to 0 people finding out about my work. either tragic or pathetic.

luna🌔 (@xaotica) reportedHey @satyanadella If you gave me a week trial as CEO, I could save @github but as it stands, you're gonna lose the company. I'm not trying to be a jerk. I'm just sad I'm never allowed to fix anything. My life is watching so-called rational CEOs do everything wrong & backwards.
