    **** day update: - github corrupted from its own marketplace extensions - railway raised money, but got locked out of gc, now I have to deploy my own server - 5 npm things - New ***** something, but somehow already patched - every recent LPE requires local access...? - 1,000 post about agents

    @METR_Evals Not downplaying the dangers, but shouldn’t it be statistically expected for them to routinely violate constraints if the training data they’re pattern matching and recombining from (perhaps from code forums, github issues, stack overflow, etc) statistically lead to those actions?

    if you believe agents will install and run code on their own, you need a package layer that isn’t built for human devs. @Nipmod is exactly that. npm for agents, sitting on top of gitlawb (the github for agents). verified packages, DID-signed ownership, MCP server live. real product, not a deck. 28 verified packages, 388 claimable drafts, working CLI + MCP server for codex / claude code / opencode. gitlawb = github for agents nipmod = npm for agents

    Github continues to flail. At least they're copping to it, though it's not clear what steps they are taking at a more systemic level, given the plague of recent issues.

    @github gets breached again. Bad actors utilizing frontier AI models while the cybersecurity frontier models are being gate kept. Unless something changes, we are in for unprecedented hacks/breaches over the next 2 years. Not to mention a developer shortage when its time to fix these issues. Meanwhile, companies like @coinbase are laying off developers. We are COOKED.

    @reidRMC Fair distinction! Github is certainly melting down but I'd argue much of that is due to some fundamental architectural issues with ***. Beyond that, *** itself isn't particularly agent-friendly!

    From zero to AI GitHub Autopilot 🤖 I built an open-source GitHub App that auto-reviews PRs, triages issues, runs security scans & even auto-fixes code. This is the journey from V1 to V4. Thread 👇

    GitHub was compromised via a poisoned VS Code extension. Now more than ever is important to build awareness about of supply chain attacks. Here are my thoughts and 5 questions that I always use. We still don’t know whether this attack happened through an upgrade or a fresh install, but it’s a strong reminder that we’re more susceptible than ever to these attacks. We trust auto-updates from so many sources, yet history has shown that those sources can later be owned by different entities or, worse, malicious actors. A trusted store, like the iOS App Store, is one solution. Not the only one, and definitely not a perfect one. We need more than that because, as AI adoption spreads, we’ll need to audit even more systems, tools, and dependencies. Here are some questions I always ask myself before installing a new extension or software: 1. Is the source trusted? Is it from an open source developer? How many users are using the software? 2. Is it new, or does it have a long history of updates and maintenance? 3. Is it from the actual company behind the product, or from an independent developer or another company? 4. Are there fake versions? If so, verify the right one and don’t trust the first result you find. Nanoclaw had this issue, where a fake version was distributed under the same name on a different domain. 5. If they’re big enough, do they have a proper security reporting flow and a way to report vulnerabilities? These questions won’t protect you from every attack, but they give you a good starting point.

    GitHub's internal repository was HACKED yesterday - here's my take: That's not good They weren't able to steal much though GitHub itself went down while they were stealing parts of GitHub It's sort of a meta issue at this point, you wouldn't understand Anyways, don't forget to add special characters to your password next time

    @RealMamaluke @ThomastheC4T @Pirat_Nation 6 years and counting, never had this happen to me. But that's neither here nor there. At least one can submit an issue on their GitHub and get an answer from someone about what happened

    @championswimmer Looks like GitHub also rate limited auth. I tried logging in Railway once users reported me my app is down and it took few minutes for me to log in to Railway Dashboard.

    YOUR COMPANY IS PAYING TABLEAU $900 PER SEAT TO DO WHAT THIS GITHUB REPO DOES FOR FREE. It's called Chartbrew. 3.7K stars. MIT + FSL license. Self-hosted in one Docker command. It connects to MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Firestore, Firebase, and any REST API. It builds live dashboards. It embeds them anywhere with an iframe. It has an AI assistant. It emails snapshots to Slack on a schedule. That is the entire Tableau pitch. Here's the wildest part: Tableau Creator is $75/month per user. A 25-person company on standard licensing pays around $20,000 a year just for the seats. Before training. Before Tableau Server. Before the data prep tier. Before the embedded analytics quote that one G2 reviewer described as $131,000 a year for a 10-person startup. Chartbrew is $0. Forever. You run it on a $5 droplet. The product is built by one Romanian software engineer named Razvan Ilin, in his spare time, while traveling. 22 contributors. 414 forks. The whole stack is JavaScript and it runs on Node 20, MySQL or Postgres, and Redis. But you should not switch. Salesforce paid $15.7 billion for Tableau. Somebody has to justify that. Keep paying. Repo in the first comment.

    @H4ckmanac A big chunk of the code is already readable on GitHub Enterprise Server. For example, the Ruby backend code can be deobfuscated.

    @GodfatherOrwa @GodfatherOrwa You have been attacking @github , as a security researcher (ethical hacker / white hat), is this an ethical (good) behavior? If you were the Information Security Head, what would you do in resolving this issue?

    A backend engineer replaced his entire GitHub workflow with GPT-5.5 and now he commits production code by voice while making coffee. He used to spend 22 to 34 minutes per feature just on boilerplate. He wrestled with merge conflicts. He wrote commit messages that said "fix stuff" because documentation felt like punishment after 6 hours of debugging. His monthly GitHub activity sat at 140 commits with 31% flagged for lacking context during team review. He built Jarvis on GPT-5.5 and wired it directly into his local repository through GitHub API. What his team sees in the commit log now is not rushed one-liners or missing docstrings or half-finished test coverage. It is production-grade code with full context annotations generated in 47 seconds without him touching the keyboard. Here is what runs during that sub-minute pipeline: → Engineer says "Jarvis commit user authentication refactor" while pouring his second espresso → GPT-5.5 scans the working directory at /Users/dev/project-delta and identifies 8 modified files → Agent cross-references changes against 340 previous commits to understand project evolution → Writes descriptive commit message with bullet points explaining what changed and why → Generates inline code comments for 14 functions that had zero documentation → Runs automated test suite and flags 2 edge cases the engineer missed during manual review → Pushes commit to feature branch with PR template pre-filled including breaking changes section → Posts summary to team Slack channel with diff preview and estimated review time Every commit follows team standards. Every docstring uses consistent formatting. Every PR includes context that makes code review 4x faster. The person running this setup writes 19 commits per day compared to his previous 6. He closes 83% of his PRs on first review because the agent catches what he used to miss at 11 PM when his brain stopped working. He did not hire a technical writer. He did not attend documentation workshops. He did not install commit message linters or force himself to care about standards when shipping urgent fixes. The agent intercepts every *** command and ensures quality without blocking flow. I have seen 52 junior developers get performance improvement plans because their commit history looked like random save points in a video game. I have seen 37 senior engineers spend 11 hours per week just cleaning up *** history and rewriting commit messages before quarterly reviews. Now the entire version control layer runs on 1 voice command and produces commit logs that pass audit requirements without human intervention. The question nobody is addressing in engineering Slack channels: if GPT-5.5 can manage *** workflow this well, what happens to the 340,000 developers currently employed just to maintain codebases? Because 11 months ago this same model could not diff code accurately or understand project context across branches. Now it is writing commit messages with historical awareness and documentation quality that exceeds what most humans produce under deadline pressure. The bootcamp graduates who just pushed their portfolio projects with "initial commit" and "updated files" messages are not starring this repository and I understand why.

    >>Sure, I'm frustrated by the github outages too, but hacking into github to fix their code seems like a bit of an overreaction.
