  I found a GitHub repo that sends motivational prompts to Claude Code when it gets stuck. It is called OpenWhip. Claude Code sometimes loops. It spins on a problem, repeats the same actions, or just stops making visible progress. The developer solution is to interrupt it and redirect. The human solution is to wait and hope. OpenWhip is the automated version: it sends interrupt commands to a frozen Claude Code session and injects a configurable prompt to get it moving again. The name is literal. Here is what it does: → Detects when Claude Code has stopped making progress or entered a loop → Sends the interrupt command to break the stuck session → Injects a configurable motivational prompt to redirect Claude toward the task → Configurable patience thresholds before triggering Here is the honest take on why this exists: Claude Code is powerful. It also gets stuck. Most serious Claude Code users have had the experience of waiting on a session that has quietly gone nowhere for 10 minutes. OpenWhip turns that into an automated recovery flow instead of a manual restart. Absurd premise. Real problem it solves. (Link in the comments)

  @txgermanbre Careful with MCP servers developed by randos on Github...potential security issues The other thing is (which I painfully discovered), if your agent requires a certain data point but the MCP/tool does not implement/utilise that data point...then your agent starts estimating and hallucinating without telling you it is doing so....confidently lying. If there is an API, you can probably vibe code your own MCP...at least you know exactly what its doing

  github literally almost made me cry today. I was under so much pressure to get this ticket done, but it required running CI/CD across a bunch of other microservices. Because of the GitHub Actions outages, all the checks kept failing, and I fully started spiraling. I genuinely thought I had broken something in other services. I literally felt like a failure of an engineer. Turns out, the container failures were happening because @github Actions was having issues maintaining containers. Once things stabilized, I finally got all green checks, got approvals from my coworkers, and slammed that merge button like my life depended on it. “Come with me” inspired by @daadisnacks

  @github I have 70% in my premium request used percent, and seconds, literally 2 seconds later i have reached the maximum quota.... How is this possible? im not using opus 4.7 and not using gpt5.5, in the same way 30% of copilot pro+ subscription in a one request (or tokens paymode... its impossible anyway) and in just 5 seconds... Maybe I created a solar system in 5 seconds... or I gathered the knowledge from the Bible + ECMA combined... I don't know, but clearly something happened... And on top of that, I'm working on improving Copilot and its features... if you reply and I'm able to do it without the premium models until next month, when I was 70% finished, I'll tell you more about what it's about, or I'll just tell you the repository hosted on your servers... I'll wait for answers or information about what happened... but if it was a deliberate decision, I think it's terrible to do it that way.

  @bdsams i think the industry has realized where the value is in AI, and it aint in consumer products. i expect microsoft to reroute compute to github copilot and the like over time, with copilot for consumers gradually stripped down.

  @iamEvanYT Starting June 1 it says. i think they're shoving it down everyone's throat during the demo, hoping that when they turn it off and start charging the few people that liked it will complain. It's such a dark pattern. makes me want to just move off of @github so i'm not held hostage like this in the future. If I don't have control over what's running on my codebase and they don't need my consent to do this then it tells me they think that they own my code. Which is not something I want from a *** host.

  Hermes Agent tip 7 is trending in the last 24 hours on GitHub Trending and Reddit. It is called Self-Improving Skills from Experience. The claim says up to 10X automation overnight, but results vary. Track success rate, errors, and time saved.

  Me to GPT5.5 medium: "Using sub-agents, review the GitHub issue, implement the necessary code according to the plan, then create a PR back to main." GPT5.5 medium: "Clean. I've implemented the necessary code according to the plan EXACTLY as you described." Does anyone else experience this literalness sometimes?

  The real problem: a GitHub repo with 100 commits, good readme, comprehensive tests used to signal care and attention. Now he can generate that in half an hour. Looks identical. He can't tell the difference. What he actually wants: proof someone used it.

  People keep asking Github Copilot for code review. This is so stupid because its reviews are terrible, sending otherwise good PRs that would have been quick merges in crazy directions, and I'm getting completely spammed by this non-stop-slop. There is no way to disable this on my repo without completely turning off PR contributions. If @github doesn't stop this insane behaviour I will move to Gitlab or Codeberg or somewhere. Please help I don't want this. I don't want this. I don't want this.

  @Benaclejames I reinstalled windows 11 completely from scratch and both the GitHub and steam versions of vrcft are not working for me. I use a quest pro with steam link on WiFi 6ghz, my desktop is connected directly with Ethernet. I had it working last week on windows 10 ltsc with the steamlink module.

  @Lamar0985056592 @armaniferrante You say this, but look at what eCash is doing... Worth leaving a .1 in right here imo.. the github is pretty cut and dry & 10% is enough for way bigger things down the road.

  FervusAI (@FervusAI) reported 38 minutes ago

  The FervusAI GitHub organisation was compromised earlier today and taken down by an attacker. We are working with GitHub support to recover it. The on-chain program and the protocol are unaffected. We have bought back 5 SOL worth of $FERVUSAI and will be locking it for 6 months to show that we are going nowhere.

  @EightBitElon @cursor_ai **No, not with this new PR review experience.** It's built specifically for GitHub Pull Requests (as shown in the demo with GitHub PR UI, checks, and diffs). For GitLab MRs, Cursor supports review via their GitLab MCP server integration (with commands like review-merge-request), but it's not the same seamless native experience yet—requires setup and has less full parity. Check Cursor docs or the forum for the latest on GitLab support.

  this is the most expensive GitHub repo Udemy will read this year. 4,000 free programming books. 2,000 free courses. 43 languages. 387,000 stars. And somehow it's still the best-kept secret in self-taught engineering. It's called free-programming-books. Here's why every paid education platform should be panicking right now. Bootcamps charge $15,000 to teach you what's already sitting in this repo for free. Udemy charges $200 per course for content the original authors put on this list themselves. Coursera locks Stanford lectures behind a paywall while the same professors uploaded their full syllabus into this repo two years ago. The whole industry was built on you not knowing the index existed. → 4,000+ free books across every language from Python and Rust down to assembly, COBOL, and quantum computing → 2,000+ free courses from Harvard, MIT, Stanford, freeCodeCamp, and current Google engineers → Translated into 43 spoken languages so it isn't English-only gatekept → Interactive playgrounds, podcasts, screencasts, problem sets, and cheatsheets all in the same tree → 2,000+ contributors maintaining it, administered by a US non-profit that takes zero ad revenue Now read this part slowly. Every coding course you've ever bought was a wrapper around publicly available material. The instructor didn't write the textbook. They read it, repackaged it, and charged you for the convenience of not finding it yourself. The entire $20 billion online coding education industry exists because the foundation was already free. Bootcamps. Subscription platforms. $5,000 "career accelerators." Every tier you've ever paid for was an apology for nobody telling you the source material has been sitting on GitHub since 2011. free-programming-books fixed that. The math on every paid coding curriculum just changed. Free education at zero markup isn't a discount. It's you no longer paying for the platform's middleman fee. Stack Overflow had the answer in 2011. Someone forked it to GitHub. 14 years later it has 387K stars and quietly outranks almost every product ever shipped on the platform. Udemy was the self-taught dev's default. That sentence is now in the past tense. CC BY 4.0. 100% Opensource.

  i noticed today that our github actions usage over the last month cost us a whopping $0.88 to build our software. so, i decided to move it in-house onto an actions runner. setting this up properly is a pain because you really need to build your own isolation. for safety, your builds should run in ephemeral VMs, similar to how github actions works. i used Codex to build the whole thing for me. it gave me step-by-step instructions for setting up the GH App and private key, wrote the shell scripts, configured the systemd units, then debugged everything over ssh directly on the server. what would have taken me hours or days, along with filling my brain with a bunch of esoteric devops knowledge that i really don't care about, was done in under 30 minutes. now we have two idle runners. one takes a build job, runs it, then dies and gets reaped. the second takes over while the first resets. my mind is blown. if you're not all in on AI, i feel for you.

  Open hardware needs open trust. @skot9000 came to us with the right idea for Bitaxe: the vendor list should not live in a closed CMS controlled behind the scenes. The source of truth should be public. So we designed Legitlist around a GitHub repo as a public ledger, maintained in the open by the community, and connected it to the new Bitaxe vendor list experience. That is the important part: GitHub keeps the trust model transparent. The website makes it usable for everyone. At @weareloadout, this is exactly the kind of OSS support we believe in: turning open-source infrastructure into clearer, more usable product experiences. Built on @framer, using the new Framer Server API to bridge the open ledger with the public website. Open hardware. Open trust. Public by design.

  Routines: Claude Wakes Up Working The concept of routines watching your GitHub repo overnight, picking up filed issues, and delivering working PRs by morning is a genuinely transformative vision of async software development. The concrete example of a teammate filing an issue overnight and waking up to a complete working implementation makes this feel immediately achievable.

  I though that damage to github's reputation is being blown out of proportion. Except now I when I am having weird issues with branches, commits and PR's. I not only have to consider the coding agent, IDE, my prompts, but also whether github is having weird issues again.

  OpenAI’s GPT-5.5 scores 82.7% on Terminal-Bench 2.0. But on SWE-Bench Pro — real GitHub issue resolution — it scores 58.6%. Claude Opus 4.7 scores 64.3% on the same test. OpenAI wins on long-horizon tasks. Anthropic wins on precise code resolution. Neither is universally better. The right model depends on the shape of the work.

  @cursor_ai I don’t want to use GitHub. I want to use my locally hosted Gitea server. GitHub isn’t really that attractive.
