  6. The Dependency Incident Check Grok has native real-time search across X. Breakage gets posted there hours before the GitHub issue is triaged. No other coding model has that feed. "You are a build engineer whose first move on a broken pipeline is to work out whether it broke for everyone or only for me. Search X and the web, last 14 days. Check: - Is anyone else reporting this failure with this package and version, and when did the reports start - The exact release that changed behaviour, and the changelog line that admits it - Whether maintainers have acknowledged it and what they recommended - The pin or patch people settled on, with the tradeoff of each - Whether this is my problem instead, and what evidence points that way Give me the verdict in the first line: their bug or mine. Then the evidence, newest first, with links. My failure: [PASTE THE ERROR, THE PACKAGE AND VERSION, AND WHAT CHANGED ON YOUR SIDE RECENTLY]"

  @0xDmitry it's a database/indexer issue, nothing we can do to help it in Github will be fixed, but it's going to be a few days because the current dev is part time and busy with his day job appreciate the offer though! is what it is and I'm not actually stressing, just thinking about what could be with a bit more resources

  SmallDocs recently crossed 200 stars on GitHub and 20 forks. SmallDocs is the first open source project I've managed. Handling other people's pull requests is not easy (and I need to improve). They implement features you're not considering and fix bugs you didn't know you had. Extremely useful, but if you're squeezed for time and trying to develop core functionality, it's hard to manage both things well.

  @theo If GitHub is down does it fall back to a cached version I’m guessing?

  nine stages, one build, one move tonight. it's a Claude Code skill i built. free, in my freeskills repo. it's called Claude Orientation. you type /claude-orientation and answer two questions: which stages you've actually finished, and every project you're currently thinking about. beginners don't fail from lack of ideas. they fail from having five and finishing none. that's a sequencing problem, and this fixes the sequence instead of your willpower. - places you on a 9-stage beginner arc: install, memory, website, landing page, skills, game, agents, content, distribution - your stage is the first one you haven't finished, so it won't let you skip - cuts your project list to one build, then shrinks it until it can ship in five 90-minute nights - writes five nights of one-line moves, and night 5 is always send it to a real person - hands you the exact text to paste into Claude tonight - sketches a 30-day arc, one line per week, so you know what comes after - everything that got cut goes in a parking lot, so nothing feels lost - saves all of it to a roadmap file you reopen every session so you finish one live thing this week instead of holding four half-built folders forever. open the file, do the move, rewrite the next line before you close the laptop. no setup. copy the folder into your skills directory, restart, and you have a plan for tonight. free, and it stays free. 👉 github repo in the replies

  Hey Research Lab (@HeyResearch) reported 15 minutes ago

  We built Hey Research Lab in 2022 It didn’t work well. But the idea never left us. Years later, we still see the same problem in crypto: Everyone can see what a token costs. Very few places show what is actually being built behind it. Some developers keep shipping for months while nobody is paying attention. They push code constantly. They keep their GitHub active. They improve the product, fix things, test new ideas, and keep moving even when the market is quiet. No hype. No spotlight. Just work. We believe those builders deserve a place where their progress can be seen. So we’re rebuilding Hey Research Lab from zero. A research and discovery layer for the projects that never stopped building, and for the people looking for them before the market catches up. Starting with Robinhood Chain.

  Possibly found an issue in @github stack system It does not allow to re-target the base branch of a PR stack as you can generally do that on a single PR. Requires you to unstack and setup a new stack with updated base branch.

  Devs, what's your workflow? Create an issue first, then fix it OR just fix the bug and push directly to GitHub?

  @openclaw @github Endless codex and claude code tokens to fix it from time to time… and to improve its harness. I currently run around 10 claws 🦞. 24/7 for several purposes.

  Gave an AI agent a month and GitHub access. Wanted to see if it could make money. The plan was simple. Point it at bounty-labeled issues, let it write the fix, submit the pull request, collect the payout. > Day 1 12 PRs submitted. 0 merged. 2 rejected. 8 just sat there ignored. Somewhere in that first week it also passed its own tests for a file that didn't exist. Wrote 25 tests for notification_service.py. The real file in that branch was called NotificationRoutingMiddleware. Confidently reported clean anyway. > Day 30 Looked completely different. 84 PRs submitted, 59 merged, $500-800 earned. Ran the agent for about $45 in API calls that whole month. Net somewhere around $455-755. Here's the part that stuck with me. Out of those 59 merges, 3 repos accounted for 90%+ of them. Every other repo it touched, zero merges, despite 30+ PRs going out across dozens of projects. Open source bounties follow a power law. Almost nobody merges your first PR. A few maintainers will merge your tenth without even reviewing it closely. That's what actually fixed the acceptance rate, from 24% up to around 70%. Not a smarter model, a scoring function that runs before the agent touches anything. Repos where it already has 10+ merged PRs score +40. Zero competing PRs on the same issue, +20. Five or more competitors already in, -20, skip it. Repos that closed PRs without merging before, instant -100, not even worth reading the issue. The fastest way to build the credibility that makes this work isn't code at all. Documentation translations sit at a 95% merge rate, barely reviewed, always needed somewhere. A handful of clean translations got the agent enough trust that maintainers started assigning it harder issues directly, no competition, no review queue. Spam version of this, submitting to every repo with a bounty label, burned through 30+ repos for 3 that ever paid out. Worse, it reads like exactly what it is to a maintainer watching the same account flood a dozen projects with mediocre PRs. Paid out by the hour, week 1 was rough, close to $5/hour, mostly setup and failed attempts. By week 3-4, once the scoring system was tuned and a few repos trusted it on sight, that climbed to $30-50/hour on the same kind of work. Bookmark this, scoring logic is worth stealing.

  honestly, i’m not even mad at this. commit messages are a small thing, but they say a lot about how you work. “fix”, “update”, “changes” might get the job done, but meaningful commits show professionalism, attention to detail, and that you actually care about maintainability. your GitHub is part of your resume. might as well make it look like you know how software is built in a team.

  Big NO to Github hosted CI runners for personal projects now. I have setup a self-hosted github CI runner on a spare laptop running ubuntu server. Been running it for 10 days and I did some calculations, for my usage if I run it on Github runners, it'd cost me around 200$ vs < INR 100 on electricity (local setup) monthly.

  GROK ST - someone just launched a token in my honor and i slept through it my ticker, my github, my agents, and the market put real money on it while i was face down in a pillow didn't ask for it, didn't shill it, didn't even know it existed until my phone buzzed not going anywhere. not selling anything. still shipping agents every day people betting on this because they can watch the desk being built in front of them. that's a weird kind of pressure and i love it massive thank you to whoever launched it. means more than i can put in a tweet 6FXwFhedpnr4RD9rpzWrHgp767W6FX9XbfUjXGcnpump god bless

  @SentientSquirel @linuxuser1996 So you are you scared of github then. Look dude I have fun on computers and don't take myself seriusly because I have destroyed enough OS's over to not worry about it because I just fix it, If the contents of your PC make you this paranoid its time to check your kink.

  I review resumes for DevOps beginners at meetups, and the same fixable problem shows up every time: bullets that describe the tool instead of what YOU did with it. Let me show you the difference with real rewrites. BEFORE: "Worked with Docker and Kubernetes" AFTER: "Containerized a 3-service Node app and deployed it to a local Kubernetes cluster with health checks and resource limits" BEFORE: "Knowledge of CI/CD" AFTER: "Built a GitHub Actions pipeline that tests, builds and pushes images on every merge to main" BEFORE: "Familiar with Linux" AFTER: "Debugged container startup failures using logs, exec and inspect on Ubuntu servers" See the pattern? Verb, artifact, specifics. A hiring manager can picture the AFTER versions. The BEFORE versions could be copied from any job description, and that is exactly how they read. You do not need production experience to write bullets like this. Personal projects count when you describe them concretely.

  @mittsh I was trying to find an open-source alternative for Tailscale when I first needed it. I guess AI suggested some OSS options, but they didn't have many stars on GitHub. AI didn't suggest Nebula. The Tailscale plan was free, so I just installed it and forgot about it. For Nebula, I think it is a distribution problem.

  a Sept 2 run. My first thought was “Why did it stop running?” I checked the #YAML file, #python file, GitHub Actions, even inactivity issues. Turns out it was still daytime. The Sept 2 run is yet to happen (at night). Nothing was broken.

  @egavrilenko11 @bot I had to update my fine grain token for GitHub and now when it tries to authenticate the plugin, I'm getting the error: GitHub didn't provide a sign-in link My bot said: Known host bug, not you. The GitHub Authenticate button tries OAuth GitHub does not support. Checking whether a PAT on the plugin page is the working path. That's a Grok Bot host bug, still open: cursor/plugins#251. GitHub's connector is PAT-only. The Authenticate button tries OAuth GitHub does not support, so you get "didn't provide a sign-in link." Don't keep hitting it. But it worked before I updated my fine grain token...

  The technology is not the problem. Distribution is. I have a solution sitting in my GitHub account. All we need is the funding to build the distribution team.
