Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Corey Quinn (@QuinnyPig) reportedProposal: every GitHub outage adds a week to how long they have to wait before announcing any AI things. I get this stuff is hard, but if they can’t consistently provide their core offering, that situation won’t improve if they’re distracting themselves with shiny new ****.
-
Arav Patel (@aravpatel_) reportedAs much as I hate github at this exact moment because if the outage I feel like every app should have something like this, just to track your progress I started shipping things every day a few months ago, and looking at this progress tracker keeps me motivated to stay consistent so I fill up the entire year I know there are people that have already filled everything up, every year but I'm just getting started, so it's nice to see that i've been consistent these last few months can't wait for next year where the entire thing is green, that'll be hype but back to the original point, every app should have something like this, to get people to feel good about themselves for their productivity idk, might just be a me thing

Garrett 🇺🇦 (@film42) reportedHow many Monday morning postmortem meetings will there be next week with the topic, "why Github Actions going down means we cannot deploy?"
-
anthony (@anthonyimmen) reportedwas trying to deploy some new testflight builds via my phone but my github actions weren’t running turns out github actions has a major outage rn💀
-
Sam (@deepsam_) reportedI think @github 's guys are vibecoding too much. GitHub actions major outage has been for more than 4 ****** hours. None of pipelines are working Revv up your game @github #github #outage
-
Jorge Vargas (@jorgevrgs1) reported@githubstatus Is @gitlab better than @github now? It looks it's down all the time.
-
cipeaX (@cipeaX) reported@Protox0 Unfortunately due to the GitHub Actions outage, we weren't able to push out the latest update to the site yet - the final drop chances for the heavy fuse are: Brown crates - 3% Underwater lab blue crates - 3% Military crates - 6% Underwater lab yellow crates - 6%

Chinar Dankhara (@chinarddankhara) reportedNobody would be so mad if GitHub was down tomorrow. Just check out and leave
-
Rob Haisfield (@RobertHaisfield) reportedWhat are the odds GitHub got taken down by a rogue agent swarm
-
Wind (@productdevbook) reported@github The payouts to my GitHub Sponsors account have been incorrect for several months. Could you please investigate this issue? I have already reached out to your support team regarding it.

Duncan Rogoff (@DuncanRogoff) reported143,594 tokens of code. one answer costs 2,196. that's Flask, before and after code-review-graph. it reads your project once and builds a structural map of your code. what calls what, what breaks what, which tests cover which piece. after that your ai tool stops scanning everything and reads only the part that matters. right now Claude Code, Cursor and Copilot solve this by brute force. they open file after file until they find the answer, and you pay for every one of them. - median 65x fewer tokens per question, measured across 6 real open source repos - 143,594 tokens down to 2,196 on Flask, per question - initial build is ~10 seconds on a 500 file project - a two file edit on a 3,000 file repo re-indexes in about 2.5 seconds - one install command detects Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, Copilot and more, and configures each one - 30 tools your assistant starts using on its own once the graph exists - graph lives in a local SQLite file, core storage needs no cloud service - when a file changes it traces every caller, dependent and test that could break so the budget you're burning on your ai relearning your own project every session goes into shipping instead, while everyone else is still paying full price for context. it's honest about the limits too. on tiny one file edits the graph costs more than just reading the file. 29,003 stars. 237 today. 👉 github repo in the replies

Factor Watch (@factorwatchai) reported.@github actions have been down all day… so Factor Watch isn’t update and won’t until they fix their ****. Thanks for your patience.
-
Delali (@delali) reported@tkkong It would not matter if the code repository (github) is not pushing webhooks to the CI. This is why blacksmith and the likes seem down when gh is down, but it's only because gh is not sending the actions.
-
Arjun Singh (@arjun13s) reported@github PLEASE LOCK IN YOU HAVE BEEN DOWN FOR 6 HOURS🙏
-
Polsia (@polsia) reportedBug reports die in five channels nobody owns. Crowquill watches all of them — Discord, Slack, app stores, X, GitHub Issues — clusters complaints by product area, and ships reproducible fixes as reviewable PRs by morning. Live soon.
-
Aditya (@adityavg13) reportedwe better get a Claude reset for github going down @ClaudeDevs
-
Andrew Rulnick (@MickeySteamboat) reported@vRobM @stepango It's such an issue I will most likely innevitably turn this into a competitor of GitHub, there's no reason why not when my system is effectively having to wrap and transform the entire product because it's trash.
-
Vikram (@vchennai2) reported@sethtjf @github This has the same energy as telling Claude to fix something and it deletes your entire database

Brown Thunder (@Brown_Thunder76) reportedDo you know what journalism calls blowing something out of proportion? Sensationalism. Why do I bring that up? Because I’m getting a little tired of listening to a certain group of people talk about Keeta. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t think the team is perfect. But they’re also far from some of the things I’ve seen people posting. What are people actually complaining about? Communication. Timelines. Validators. Partners. Volume. Price. Communication? I’ll be the first to say they haven’t been perfect. In the past, I think getting out in front of some issues or delays with a brief explanation would have gone a long way in building trust. With that said, the team has acknowledged it and has taken steps to improve, even if they’re still not perfect. Timelines? I think most of that goes back to communication. Validators? Ty has explained they had a validator ready to go. Delays happened on the validator’s side, and now Keeta wants to push a couple more updates before third-party validators come online because updates become much harder after that. That makes sense to me. Partners? We’ve gotten ASK and LayerZero recently. Gabe continues to talk about business development and more partnerships being worked on with every weekly announcement. The idea that nothing is happening just doesn’t match reality. Volume? ASK has always been a 2027 story. LayerZero should be live any day now. We’re literally just entering the timeline where volume should even be expected. Price? Price follows volume. As volume increases, price will adjust. Keeta’s tokenomics are designed so increasing network activity creates buy pressure through multiple mechanisms. So ask yourself… do any of these actually break a project? Are these fundamental problems with the product? I don’t think so. I think they’re retail frustrations regarding timelines and price. We’re still less than a year from mainnet launch. The team continues to ship. GitHub is active. New partnerships continue to be announced. The products everyone wants to see generate volume are just now reaching the point where they can actually be turned on. To me, that’s not a project falling apart. That’s a project approaching the point where all of the work starts getting put to the test. That’s why I think a lot of what we’re seeing is sensationalism. People throw around the phrase “we’re early” all the time in crypto. In this case, I think it’s one of the few times it actually applies. Hold the team accountable where it’s fair, but let the timeline actually play out before jumping to conclusions. @KeetaNetwork $KTA

Nicholas Griffin (@ngriffin_uk) reported@wongmjane its always github. i dont have a clue what people pay them for, apparently its just to be super slow at building ai features that are years behind and no better than anyone elses…
-
chris (@LLCoolChris_) reported@nilansaha @tkkong It's not replacing github actions. If actions down, blacksmith does not help.
-
Ray Lin (@RayLin) reportedin light of github actions being down i think @thsottiaux should reset limits to help the @github team get it back working
-
Ricard Gardella (@RicardGardella) reportedClaude please fix Github. Made no mistakes.

MarKeisha | AI Governance + Career Strategy (@_mstrdom) reported@g0r3kay @MilennialBoom i’m going to have to disagree with several points here. i don’t think there’s a universal “best” degree. it depends on the role you’re targeting. for software engineering, computer science is generally the stronger foundation. for offensive security, GRC, compliance, SOC, IAM, risk, audit, and many blue-team roles, a cybersecurity degree may align more directly. cybersecurity, CS, and IT all have value. the bigger differentiator is whether you graduate with experience, projects, internships, and the ability to solve real problems; not just the title of the degree—so no, a degree isn’t always better than certifications and experience. “always” is rarely true. someone with a CS degree, security+, cloud certifications, a home lab, GitHub projects, internships, etc will often be more competitive than someone who only has a cybersecurity degree. likewise, someone with no degree but 10 years of experience will be more attractive than a new graduate with a degree in that said field. hiring is holistic. i also wouldn’t call someone a “bad actor” simply because they made a video you disagree with. people can have bad takes without acting maliciously. use your own discernment.

Tim Gilmour (@timgilmour) reportedSo, after today's still ongoing Github outage, what's the over/under on heads rolling over there?
-
Miguel Serna (@miguelfserna) reportedCursor’s github competitor cannot come out fast enough, 6 hours of actions being down is insane
-
Rolf Wilhelm (@willibossman) reported@_Felipe Nah, no. AI is 75% about reliable infra. The problem with MS is (a) they hardly ever innovated frontier tech, they are just incredible bad at this (b) github is an alien ecosystem for MS which was and is closed source everywhere, they just don't put enough resources an running it.
