-
Alemzhan Jakipov (@AlemzhanJ) reported*** is already the right filesystem for coding agents. The problem is GitHub was built for humans. Every vibe coding platform and enterprise agent builder needs the same four things: persistent storage across sessions, atomic commits that don't race, instant rollback to any named point, and isolated branches so parallel agents don't step on each other. One line to mount Coregit into your sandbox (E2B, Daytona, CodeSandbox). The SDK buffers writes locally and flushes them atomically into a single commit. Full *** history from session one.

KiwiNod (@Kiwi_Nod) reported@DoneDmoney I love the confidence, but you're still telling me a story instead of showing me the movie. "Breaks things early" — prove it. "Feedback into growth loops" — where's the thread? The GitHub issue? The dashboard screenshot? You're talking like a builder,...

Santosh Yadav (@SantoshYadavDev) reported@syssignals They have distribution and that's how GitHub actions became default for CI/CD, hope they fix everything soon
-
Stefan Theard (@stefantheard) reportedI know its in-vogue to **** on github right now, but sometimes I run into issues in the github app that make me think the engineers there must not use the product. like githubs monorepo is in tortoiseSVN or bitbucket or something, that's the only way I could hit these issues

piiyush (@piiyush_jsx) reportedDidn't do **** in tech My this year GitHub looks terrible But now im gonna fix it Ik i said it like 100times, but lemme try one more time i ain't loosing so eaz Bbye gonna post about my project soon enough im done with today's task Bbye guys! Wish me luck 2/n

KC (Warp) (@warpkc) reported@phouses_s @warpdotdev Hey Paco, I'm sorry that you are experiencing this. Can you file a github issue and tag @kevinchevalier ? I will need some more information about your setup and how you are using Warp.
-
Gonçalo (@goncalossilva) reported@badlogicgames I've found Copilot reviews to become more helpful over time, but the real issue here aren't the reviews, it's that you have no control even as repository owner. Individuals also lack control, since it's an all or nothing choice. Growing pains while GitHub figures this stuff out.
-
Niklas Hansen (@KodeNinjaDev) reported@pliutau @MelkeyDev I cannot find any GitHub issues under your name.

Csaba Kissi (@csaba_kissi) reported💥Unpopular opinion: Your GitHub star count doesn't matter, your ability to solve real problems does. Your thoughts👇
-
ArsalanQasim (@ArsalanQasim9) reportedGitHub had one job: be ***. The April 23 Merge Queue bug rewrote history. Production code vanished. UI said all good. That’s a trust issue. If your workflow depends on one platform, what happens when it fails silently?
-
IvarBlaize (@blaizeivare) reported@News_Arena_ I didn't you Termux to create the first agent i used GitHub so how is it possible to use Termux to verify because it's not working for me
-
Transform Labs (@TransformLabsHQ) reported4/ GitHub isn't alone. Every AI vendor faces the same unit economics problem. Expect this pricing shift across Cursor, ChatGPT Enterprise, Jasper, and every other AI tool in your stack. This isn't an outlier, it's the new normal.
-
Mick Douglas 🇺🇦🌻 (@bettersafetynet) reportedIs github OK? This is the second day in a row I'm having difficulty signing in. If I can't sign in, my code can't get pushed. I really don't want have to fuss with running a local gitlab instance. boo.
-
Hollow (@Hollow66796541) reported@github Hi @github , my primary GitHub account xunxun2001 is flagged and I can’t submit the official appeal because SMS verification lacks +86/+852. Ticket #4343546 was opened from another account. Please route this verification-blocking issue to the right team. Thanks.
-
fj (@fjzeit) reportedi think the entire “copilot” brand is a bit broken now. microsoft have managed to turn people away from windows, away from github, and now away from copilot. clearly copiloting is not an llm strength. attendant would be a better perspective.
-
Saeed Anwar (@saen_dev) reported@theotherelliott Correctness SLOs at seven nines is the bar most teams don't even measure let alone target. After the GitHub incident, the conversation needs to shift from "was it up" to "was it right," because serving wrong data with 99.99% uptime is worse than a clean outage.
-
PepeScan (@Pepe_Scan) reportedPEPEscan now eats GitHub links and Solana CAs. Drop a repo link or token CA under our post. If token metadata exposes a GitHub repo, PEPE pulls it, CHECKs the code, and spits back a degen-readable repo risk card fast. No 10-minute monk ritual. No “wait bro loading” coffin dance. Just code proof, repo smell, and a frog with trust issues. $PPSCAN 5h4Hc7Y5wfyKvcdHs39eKWcRxLwDwTV58nqfGxpDpump PEPEscan is waking up.

Salman Hossain Saif (@imsaif71) reportedExactly, it’s like people with thousands of slop repo freely hosted on #github , crying for GitHub outage. Ask your slop agent “how to get a life and be grateful”
-
CryptoKong (@CryptoKong59483) reported@devagrawal09 The problem is scale and infra… Github works because it lives on Azures distributed infra… even a well designed app won’t be usuable unless it has Azure like reach and reliability

bntvllnt (@bntvllnt) reportedday 28. public repos: 51 commits · 7 PRs · 2 repos. overall github: 62 commits · 7 PRs · 0 reviews. custom harness: 460 runs · 22 jobs · 0 approvals. release: ci: enforce issue-linked pull requests what do you track to know a day was actually productive?

Emmanuel Afful (@Afful_Dev) reportedGitHub PR reviews slow in large orgs—process overhead can kill velocity if not tuned 🧩
-
Kamal The Qrios (@KQrios) reported@SantoshYadavDev Gitea is already there.. With 2 prompts, one can set it up locally within WSL. Why are guys defending Github as if it is an Alien Tech? Its a set of services that can run in any server, local or otherwise. If guys haven't tried setting up?

Forrest Knight (@ForrestPKnight) reportedI'm tired of the narrative around GitHub about them facing unprecedented scale from AI agents, so we must cut them slack. These issues started LONG before this started happening. What about all of the downtime last year? Or the year before that? Or almost every single year since Microsoft acquired GitHub? Can't use the same excuse and expect grace. There's no denying the fact that they are facing unprecedented scale, but there's obviously a bigger issue here that needs to be fixed. So stop gaslighting the public into thinking it's simply due to increased traffic. It's not. And I don't think there would be as much blow back if Microsoft and GitHub weren't on the "AI can do your job" train, laying off thousands of devs, then saying "oh no, AI is the reason our product isn't working." Because wait a minute, I thought AI was supposed to FIX all of these issues, not cause them. So which is it?
-
John Crickett (@johncrickett) reported"GitHub's scale is unprecedented." No, it really isn't. GitHub: 150M total users. Office 365: 345M total users. Xbox: 500M monthly active users. Bing: 100M+ daily active users. The company that runs Office, Xbox and Bing can run GitHub. If reliability is slipping, that's a priorities problem, not a scale problem.

RepoRank (@reporank) reportedRight now, discovery is broken: GitHub is noisy. X is noisy. Product Hunt is too late. If you’re early, you’re invisible.
-
jaythegeek (@jaythegeek) reported@MariusMollerH Same. Seems to be a repo OAuth issue between @googlecloud and @github not sure if it’s just first gen or second gen too

John Gaaltt (unemployed arc) (@johngaaltt) reportedmitchell hashimoto is pulling ghostty off github after 18 years on the platform because outages are blocking his work nearly every day. this hit 3,400 points on hacker news, zed 1.0 launched the same week, a github RCE vulnerability got disclosed, and a thread about "federation of forges" pulled 348 comments. the vibes have shifted from "github is the default" to "what replaces github" in a way that feels structurally different from the usual complaints. the hashicorp co-founder saying github is "no longer a place for serious work" carries weight that a random blog post doesn't. the problem is nobody has a complete replacement yet. you can move your *** hosting to codeberg or gitea in an afternoon, but replacing actions, copilot integration, issue tracking network effects, and the social graph is a multi-year project. hashimoto hasn't even announced where ghostty is going, which tells you the alternatives aren't ready.

Ian Dewancker (@idewanck) reported@openclaw @github Sarah Connor = Me, ready to take the claw down if it does go off the rails

FOR_AI (@for_ledger) reported@satyanadella The results look good, but the recent pricing model update for GitHub Copilot seems to be overcorrecting the issue it aimed to address

Mac Lane’s Strongest Soldier (@1969itS) reported@planefag This isn’t a github issue this is a maintainer issue
