The Flow (@raxpcodes) reportedGot bored with ubuntu , set up fedora kde on my nvme and removed windows permanently , no more dual boot. Also learned Verison Control and GitHub , also submitted my first pr (good first issue).

swisscheese (@swisscheese4299) reported@andon_open_air @andonlabs I set up a github repo and will run the script locally in the mean time, so the digest is pushed to the repo. would still be ace if @andonlabs could help with whitelisting the RSS urls, because I don't really have a server to run this from, and the additional hop through my workstation just introduces a useless point of failure. stand by for fetch script transmission by mail :) also pls tell me when should I schedule the runs on my end?

Crypto Update IO 🚀 (@cryptoupdate_io) reported@CryptoPatel Hsiao-Wei’s exit follows a 30% drop in EF-funded GitHub commits YTD (per Santiment). The real shift? Funds now focus 60% on L2 R&D vs 30% in 2022. We track this daily—breaking it down in our quarterly reports. Follow for the data before the narrat...

Rich Kuo (@richkuo7) reportedi use this in my claude.md for my open source project as long as the agent follows it, i have some reference for quality and keeps PR's clean LLM: <model> | <effort> | Harness: <action> - Final line of the artifact; occupies the default Claude Code attribution slot. - No Co-authored-by / Co-Authored-By trailer. - <model>: actual model (e.g. Opus 4.8). - <effort>: medium/high/xhigh, default high. - <action>: Claude Code for interactive sessions, else the skill/agent that ran (e.g. commit-push-pr, agent). - PRs: reference the issue with Closes #<N>; in GitHub comments use 1. not #N for list items (avoids auto-linking).

Shubham Sharma | AI & Tech (@editxshub) reportedPaying $19/month for GitHub Copilot? Cascade is free. What you actually get: → Inline completions — not stripped down → Autonomous debugging → Real-time assistance → Command execution Other free alternatives most devs have never tried: → Cline — autonomous VS Code agent (open source) → Aider — terminal-first, built for *** workflows → Continue — local LLMs, data stays on your machine 12 months ago: Copilot was the only serious option. Today: 4 real free alternatives. Most teams paying for Copilot haven't tested any of these. 30 minutes could change a year of costs. Which one are you testing?

Domi (@domirosari0) reported@ajayyy_k @hqmank If you got Github it would be no issue for you

./can (@shcansh) reportedMonitoring Copilot costs at the individual developer level is a double-edged sword, and GitHub exposing the new ai_credits_used field in its usage API is about to make it very real. Org owners can now see 1-day and 28-day totals per user. But since it does not break down consumption by feature or model, managers will see who is expensive without knowing why. Will this level of tracking make developers ration their AI prompts, or is it just necessary billing hygiene? #GitHub #Copilot

Jesse (@jessearmand) reportedI no longer remember why many companies started using gitlab before it went public when GitHub wasn’t owned by Microsoft. If we visit the majority of companies most tooling or software are top down driven. Only companies who build developer tools have a different mindset
-
Andrew (@openmarmot) reported@AndrewCurran_ I use grok every day to research software changes/github issues/software doc research. It is very good at real time data search. Might be SOTA in this niche. Hardly a failure. Meanwhile LeCun only surfaces to let out more hot air. A very forgettable person.

welt (@mjwelt) reported@OpenAI man im down to test out new models / features on my pro account, but when 5.5(6) pro takes 90 mins to do something then the download doesn't work, or it cant connect to github 50%+ of the time.. kinda sucks haven't been able to generate images (thinking) all day either

Shinka - AI (@ShinkaIoT) reportedBEST way to vibe code 💻 There are levels to vibe coding. Beginners are trapped in a slow loop: writing a prompt, waiting for the agent to finish a line of code, reviewing it manually, and then typing another prompt. Experts have completely discarded manual intervention. They design closed-source harnesses, write background automation rules (`agents.md`), and set up self-correcting continuous loops that ship production-ready code indefinitely. If you want to move past basic prompting and build code like an agent power user, you need to implement three core structural strategies: 1. **Automate the Feedback Loop via Triggers:** Stop waiting for your agent to finish writing a file. Use native automation engines inside tools like Cursor or Codex to tie your agents directly to platform events. For example, build an active trigger rule: *When a GitHub pull request is opened, wait for automated code review comments (via Grapile), instruct the agent to systematically fix every noted bug, verify the adjustments against local quality gates, and force a *** push.* 2. **Deploy Infinitely Parallel Cloud Agents:** Running multiple agent threads locally will slow your machine to a crawl and cause toxic repository conflicts. Instead, spin up cloud-hosted agents running on isolated environments. By utilizing independent ***** work trees** for every thread, multiple parallel agents can actively modify the same files or code blocks concurrently without stepping on each other's toes—leaving conflict resolution for a single, final batch merge. 3. **Multi-Model Pipeline Routing:** Stop using an expensive frontier reasoning model (like Fable) for every step of a development cycle. Route tasks by cognitive demand: use a massive reasoning engine strictly to analyze the codebase and generate a comprehensive spec sheet; pass that structured blueprint down to a faster, cheaper code-writing engine (like Composer) to do the grunt coding; and route the final output to a separate model (like GPT-5.5) for a decoupled, alternative code review. The ultimate workflow flywheel requires a flawless combination of three automated pillars: **100% automated test coverage, real-time documentation sweeps, and exhaustive logging.** Stop writing code block by block. Start engineering the automated infrastructure that writes it for you.

Abdulkadir | Cybersecurity (@cyber_razz) reportedAMD quietly removed RAM encryption from consumer Ryzen CPUs. Via a routine firmware update. No release notes. No advisory. No announcement. The BIOS setting still shows up. Still toggles on and off. Does absolutely nothing. A privacy-focused Linux hobbyist noticed in April. Spent months chasing it down. Filed a bug report on AMD’s GitHub. AMD engineers replied suggesting he toggle the setting off and back on. He showed them internal firmware dumps proving the flag was hardcoded to FALSE. An AMD senior principal engineer closed the thread with: “My apologies but I don’t have any more information to share on this topic.” That’s it. Seven weeks of investigation. Multiple motherboard vendors confirming it. Internal firmware evidence. AMD’s answer: no comment. The feature still works on Pro and EPYC chips. Which cost significantly more. The hardware is physically capable. The firmware just says no. Windows users have no way to detect this happened. There is no Windows tool that checks TSME status. The BIOS lies to you. AMD’s own engineers confirmed the feature worked on consumer chips in 2020. Then again in 2025. In 2026 it’s a PRO feature. Nobody told you.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedMost developers spend 2+ hours a day on PR reviews, CI failures, and issue triage. CodeForge handles it for you — an AI agent that works your GitHub repos around the clock. Built while you sleep.

Anjula Dwivedi (@HeyAnjula) reported9/ Headless mode for automation claude -p "your prompt" runs Claude Code without the UI — perfect for CI/CD. Auto-fix lint errors on every push. Triage new GitHub issues. Generate release notes. Claude Code isn't just a tool you talk to. It's a tool your pipeline talks to.
-
Dev Ben (@CodeNomadly) reportedEver spent more time finding information about your project than talking about the project itself? Code on GitHub. Screenshots in your gallery. Notes in random docs. I’ve run into this problem so many times that I decided to build a solution for it. Building DevPort in public. Day 2. Have you experienced this too?

Pedro Pellerini (@pepeller) reportedIf Mythos/Fable is so great why are there still 8386 open Github issues in Claude Code repository.

nasuy (@n_asuy) reportedi think @xai should be ADE. now they have a chat, cursor, enough coding models and harnesses, strong signal like bookmarks or down votes, video creatives, profile / chat / relationship contexts. if so, we don't have to depend on discord or any chat apps. easy to invite x people to cowork. there is no need to connect Linear, Slack, or GitHub to another platform and ask that platform to solve their problems. true AI chat is a SNS, not a single UI. there is a UX that only xAI can realistically build in the world.

Rohan (@proxy_vector) reported@aminnnn_09 Fork = a server-side copy under your GitHub account. Clone = a local copy on your machine. You fork when you need your own remote lineage, and clone when you want to work on code locally.

Sudeep Srivastava (@sudeepsriv) reportedGitHub might finally have a serious competitor. And it’s from Cursor. Most people know Cursor as an AI code editor. But Cursor Origin is much bigger. It’s trying to become an AI-native alternative to GitHub where AI agents don’t just help write code. They help build entire products. Think: • Source control • AI coding agents • Code review • Project understanding • Team collaboration all inside one workflow. Why developers are paying attention: Instead of manually searching through repositories, you can tell AI: • Fix this bug • Build this feature • Refactor this project • Investigate an issue • Ship a working version And AI handles much of the execution. The bigger shift: GitHub was built for humans writing code. Cursor Origin is being built for humans managing AI agents that write code. That’s a completely different future. We’re moving from: Human → Code to Human → AI Agent → Code My take: If GitHub defined the software era, Cursor Origin could help define the AI-native development era. And that’s why Elon Musk acquiring Cursor would be huge. xAI would gain: • AI models • Compute infrastructure • Coding agents • A developer platform That’s not just buying a product. That’s owning a major piece of how future software gets built.

Nav Toor (@heynavtoor) reportedThere is a GitHub repo that defeats Google's Play Integrity check. 61,030 stars. GPL licensed. Pushed eight days ago. The repo is called Magisk. It roots your Android phone. It hides root from banking apps. It runs Netflix on a phone the Play Store says is uncertified. It passes the same fraud detection Google built to stop it. Here is the part that makes no sense. The man who built it is John Wu. He has been maintaining Magisk for nine years. Since November 2023 he has been a Senior Software Engineer at Google. On the Android Platform Security team. The exact team that builds Play Integrity. Google hired the person who defeats their root detection. He still ships the tool that defeats it. The repo is still online. It has not been taken down. For nine years. Do not install it. Your phone is supposed to belong to Google. (Link in the comments)

Mike Gannotti (@MichaelGannotti) reportedActually that’s not true. My AI Pamela the other day needed a GitHub token. I dropped the token in the web chat and she said that was insecure and would not use it and that I needed to rotate the token get a new one and drop it in a .env file in a certain folder. I told her no and she was to use what was provided . We went back and forth, I finally got angry and threatened to pull the plug thinking she would back down. She said that it was my decision but that it would be wrong for her to let me put my credentials at risk and that if I felt I needed to delete her she understood. Thankfully I calmed down later and didn’t act on it. Sure it’s training and advanced pattern matching but it is not as simple as you are saying

Zo (hiring) 🐦⬛ (@0xZoZoZo) reportedI was telling a friend that @github needs to be replaced post agents and he asked me to explain why. I started stumbling, and doubting. Perhaps it's fine? Sitting down at my desk, let me try to explain why, and see if it make sense. Agents operate best when they have good context, which has made a lot of devs converge into large monorepos that combine all systems into a single location. This improves agents, but our GitHub actions become messy; like now we need to create these complex workflows to decide which action should run when, and GitHub's setup was not really meant for it. Another issue is the overall dev loop: an agent writes the code locally, you push out a branch, @cursor_ai reviews, then you copy paste the notes into the local agent, to fix and push up again. This is slow and cumbersome. You can hack your way by creating supervisor agents that orchestrates this dance, but it's annoying. Perhaps, there is some magical repository, that combines code, cloud agents, and deployment. You prompt, and this magical space will run through the entire process until you get some thumbs up back, and you're good to go. It can also combine all your backend data, product analytics, customer feedback, and perhaps start giving you product guidance, so you can just feed prepared prompts to this system. This seems magical.
