    I got tired of building projects that ended as soon as I pushed the code to GitHub. So I decided to build something around a problem I actually experience. I go to the gym regularly, and one thing kept standing out: Progress matters. But before progress comes consistency. so....

    Repos rot overnight: PRs go stale, CI breaks, CVEs pile up, and nobody notices until it costs a sprint. Built Brambot to stand watch instead. It triages your GitHub 24/7, drafts fix-up PRs, pings the right maintainer, and drops a clean standup digest in Slack each morning.

    @GergelyOrosz in a similar vein: GitHub should do this. force you to put your prompt / etc on an issue / pr. Could help cut down on spam for OSS. Imo it’s not helpful to a diff from a prompt like “fix this issue”.

  • DomParserX
    Dom_Parser (@DomParserX) reported

    @iamigorekk The problem is your entire data pipeline runs on prompt engineering and a dream. Drop the GitHub commit hash for the WebSocket handler or admit you're just prompting Midjourney for UI mockups, fool.

    @JonathanGeige18 @github ikr.. People were telling me that GitHub was falling apart, but I didn't believe them until I was the one getting affected with their GitHub actions outage And now I am starting to believe. Their old ceo left and it's started to get even worse now

    @Kushal1644 Acknowledged, was a github sync issue. Also will improve the error handling so the rest of the PR list is not hidden from UI. Thanks for testing our beta.

    @DennisonBertram github issues as source of truth means no separate db, but conflict resolution on concurrent edits is exactly what linear already built for you

    GitHub just had another multi-hour outage. Cursor launched Origin (its own code-hosting platform) the same week. Coincidence? Maybe. But the message is clear: developers are tired of single points of failure, and AI native tools are moving fast to fill the gaps. The software stack is being rewritten in real time. Who’s next?

    Showing the true power of the DGX Sparks : The AI Cookshow. Two Sparks. One night. A model fleet wrote a playable roguelike from a single prompt, and then one of the models sat down and played its own game. No API. Zero cloud tokens. The setup: - Spark 1 runs Qwen 3.8 27B dense (NVFP4, DSpark speculative). The brain. - Spark 2 runs Ornith-1.5 35B-A3B (NVFP4, MTP). The hands. - 128GB unified memory each, roughly 100W per box. The format is a cookshow. The 35B fans out parallel drafts, one game module per stream, up to 24 streams at once. The 27B judges every draft on the other Spark, scores it, picks the winner. Best-of-N with an honest referee. New rounds, new modules, the game assembling piece by piece across the night. Both boxes fully loaded, both models earning their keep. An bitmap tile-based dungeon game was produced in two minutes, it's not visually impressive but it works. The throughput, measured on my rig: Ornith (drafter): - 1 stream: 88.7 tok/s - 8 streams: 305.7 tok/s aggregate - 24 streams: 496.6 tok/s aggregate. 13 percent over the published recipe number. Qwen 3.8 27B (judge): - 1 stream: 45.0 tok/s - 8 streams: 141.1 tok/s aggregate. DSpark overdelivers against its own estimate. That is 637 aggregate tok/s of generation across two boxes pulling about 200W total. The same money buys roughly three days of a frontier API subscription. And the fleet delivered. Full drafting waves landed with every module usable. The judge caught every truncation, every hallucinated import, every missing function, before anything reached assembly. Zero false alarms in the logs. When it flagged a draft 4/10 for a logic error, the crash was real. The output: a tile roguelike. Single 19KB HTML file, zero dependencies, runs in any browser. You download it, you double-click, you are in a dungeon crawler. Not the final game I want yet, it is v1, but it boots, it plays, it fights back. Then my favorite part. We handed the 27B a real Chrome window, pointed it at its own game, and said play. It screenshotted, looked, chose a key, pressed it. 60 moves, every frame recorded. It explored, it found enemies, it fought. The model that wrote the engine also played it, with its own eyes. Stay tuned for episode 2. Drop in reply, what would you like to see tested out on two DGX sparks? Recipes and github gist in reply 👇

    @maria_rcks not open source - can't clone repo if GitHub is down 🫪

    Merged! Seems like it was 6y old issue which was resolved but came back again somehow GitHub changed default settings maybe... 👀

    @Dobra_Mc_Dronka @Isse_Vokan @FlorkOfCows Manjaro was the first distro that handled my laptop's nvidia+intel hybrid graphics card out of the box. I've tried so many distros, all of them I had either to rely only on the intel card or build a github driver that stops working later on. But since I have Manjaro, 0 problems.

    @cassidoo I'm sure you get plenty of unsolicited @github support requests, and I'm sorry to be one of them, but my org has a blocking billing issue and support has not responded for 3 days. Would love to get it looked at if possible

    @moocat999 @drjoshcsimmons I run my own local gitea server and it's worth it for sure. Doesn't mean you can't ever use github either.

    @HolliTheNord Cursor with Grok is cooking right now. Microsoft owns GitHub, the code repository that almost everyone uses, and it went down for about 7-8 hours the other day. The same day Cursor introduced its code repository hosting. Microsoft is overrun with Indians so that explains a lot across the board there, but I'm betting on Elon's money and investment in Cursor is solid.

    @ozsats256 so server logins, github etc etc. I haven't figured out the extent of it yet.

    🚨BITCOIN’S FIRST INSCRIPTION SERVICE IS SHUTTING DOWN! OrdinalsBot, the original Bitcoin inscription platform launched just weeks after Ordinals went live, is winding down after three years. The founders cite a sharp contraction in the Ordinals market and say sustaining the business is no longer viable. They’re putting the full asset stack, brand, IP, domains, socials, Discord, GitHub, and 90+ code repositories, up for sale through an open bidding process.

    @Vlad_GitHub you say " outage that lasted 7 hours and 47 minut" while the statuspage lies about the outage's duration. we can't trust github.

    Jay "letterj" Payne (@letterjbp) reported

    @jatinprajapat29 No way. Github is the cornerstone of Microsoft's AI strategy and it's kind of broken. Biggest problem is that they do not charge enough.

    @0xMovez I stopped using my IDE about 6 months. Last project I used a combination of a LLM Wiki, GitHub Issues, PRs and a UAT test harness that the agent runs and I review afterwards. One wiki page per task or issue. One GitHub Issue , one worktree and one PR per task.

    @ruanjose01 easy to get a six pack when have 0 responsibility and millions of dollars the real failure is this poser retard really thought that he could put out a 50K star GitHub repository and then simply walk away from it. Well it has thousands of issues and he just doesn’t know how to fix
