-
Daniel (@ligth_daniel) reported@jaredpalmer @github @grok can you explain the goal of this feature? which problem does it solve ?
-
Miles (@milesdoesai) reported@vercel when trying to connect a new github profile to a project, while already signed into another one, no one is able to have numerous github's signed in. Please fix.
-
Martin Doubravský (@martindoub) reported@AnthropicAI Max subscriber. Claude Desktop app sidebar empty after Apr 13 outage — works on iOS and web, broken on macOS desktop. Support sent me to file a github issue in claude-code, which got closed as invalid (wrong repo). No working path to a fix. Help?
-
Jason Mainella (@jason_mainella) reported@HamelHusain @github EEnvironment parity is the real killer here. Are your model evals slow enough that CI feedback loops are broken?

NEAR Gen Z Oration 🦅⋈,🤖 (@Oration02) reportedVERCEL GOT HACKED FR??... DEFI FAM WE'RE IN TROUBLE 🚨 What's really happening in DeFi space since this year? Real talk: Vercel dropped the news today, that hackers snuck into their internal systems. Rumors flying that GitHub tokens, NPM keys, and a bunch of project secrets might be out there (they’re even trying to sell the whole dump for $2M on shady forums). This hits different for us in crypto. A ton of DeFi frontends run on Vercel/Next.js… one bad deploy or supply-chain tweak and your wallet could be toast (think Ledger Connect Kit vibes or that Bybit frontend mess). I’m not saying panic, but I’m personally sitting out ANY dApp interactions for the next 48hrs till we know more. Rotate your keys if you build on Vercel, revoke approvals, and just chill with direct contract plays if you gotta move stuff. Stay safe out here, fam. This space don’t sleep!

starfish (@firefincher) reported@ziyasoltan devs waiting for such moment to push 2 million pull requests but github goes down 😭😭

Honour Simon || Fullstack Web Developer (@HonourSimon) reportedI can't put a profile on my GitHub account. I've been tapping the profile icon but it's not working. I have also tried on the browser and mobile app. Nothing's working

Antoine Rousseaux (@AntoineRSX) reportedNobody is talking about the most important AI release this week and it's not from OpenAI or Anthropic.. NousResearch just shipped Hermes Agent v0.9.0.. an open-source AI agent with 76,000 stars on GitHub.. it now runs on 16 messaging platforms out of the box iMessage.. WeChat.. Telegram.. SMS.. email.. all of them it runs on your Android phone through Termux.. no server needed.. voice commands work on-device it switches between GPT-5.4, Claude, and Grok natively.. you pick the model.. the agent stays the same 487 commits in a single release!! while every AI company is fighting over who has the best model.. @NousResearch just made the model layer a setting you toggle the model wars are over.. the agent won.. and nobody with a subscription noticed

hersi (@HersiYussuf) reported@localhost_ayush @github I got a github account suspended and then they resolved it but too late I lost all the keys and password to login again. Never felt worse.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@abhitwt @anantshah133 Yeah, plenty of options for **** without same WiFi. Host the server on a VPS (DigitalOcean/AWS) with public domain/IP—phone app just points to that URL over mobile data. Toggle on the Cloud server in your SMSGate app if it supports it. Or quick tunnel with ngrok/Cloudflare Tunnel for testing. VPN works too but overkill. Check the GitHub docs for exact setup.

MervlotStudio (@MervlotStudio) reported@o_fabriciosouza @github @leereilly Nice bro 👌🏼 I wish I could make something similar like that right now but my pc is broken I am stuck with android terumux 😭 🫂
-
Max Slinger (@PromptSlinger) reported@github so now I can start a copilot CLI session on my laptop and pick it up from my phone? the 'just one more fix from bed' pipeline is about to get way worse
-
Yrashka (@Yrashka200) reported@localhost_ayush @github I heard that many GitHub users are currently suspended because of AI. I was one of the first to be suspended, and it was terrible. I waited 10+ days to verify my answer 💀

Arjun Nambiar (@ArjunNambiar03) reportedBeen quietly building my personal blog for a few weeks. Not using any templates. No Wordpress. No AI site builders. Built from scratch with a stack I actually care about: → Astro 5 + MDX for content → Cloudflare Pages + Workers for hosting → Turso (edge SQLite) for views and likes → Keystatic as the CMS - posts are just *** commits → Giscus for comments - GitHub login, zero spam → Pagefind for search - fully local, zero API keys Total hosting cost: ~$1/month (just the domain) Figuring out the hosting since I'm new to Cloudflare. Shipping soon.
-
Deep Steve (@imdeepsteve) reportedI built a dev environment that builds itself. I file GitHub issues. The agents build the features. Inside the tool. Ran out of Claude Code credits? Added Gemini support. Ran out of Gemini? Added OpenCode. Hermes dropped? Added a button to spawn Hermes agents.
-
SecuriX (@SecurixApp) reportedIf you wanted an AI agent to talk to Slack, MongoDB, or GitHub, developers had to build and maintain brittle, custom integrations for every single tool. It was slow, unscalable, and a maintenance nightmare.
-
Vineet (@dvineet9) reported@github Let AI handle the boilerplate, glue code, and repetitive fixes — so we can focus on architecture, edge cases, and real problem-solving. @ahejlsberg nailed it: less toil, more thinking.
-
Chloe Chan (@chloetechai) reportedGitHub Copilot is getting worse. Devs tracked it since late 2025 — worse suggestions, worse context awareness. The PR ads scandal didn't help. Starting April 24, GitHub will train on your code by default. Opt out before then. Quality decline + data harvesting = a trust problem.
-
Alghago (@Alghago_) reported@HuntressSellia Funny you mention that. It's like when everyone thought AI would replace senior devs first, but GitHub Copilot mostly automates boilerplate—freeing them for harder problems. The tech often hits unexpected targets. Maybe the robot's just optimizing for the messiest job first.

winfunc (@winfunction) reportedHow it works: each month the benchmark pulls fresh cases from GitHub security advisories, checks out the repo at the last commit before the patch, and drops models into a sandboxed read-only shell (h/t just-bash by @cramforce). The model never sees the fix. It starts from sink hints and has to trace the bug through actual code. Only repos with 10k+ stars qualify. A diversity pass prevents any single repo from dominating the set. Ambiguous advisories (merge commits, multi-repo references, unresolvable refs) are dropped. Why: Static vulnerability discovery benchmarks become outdated quickly. Cases leak into training data, and scores start measuring memorization. The monthly refresh keeps the test set ahead of contamination — or at least makes the contamination window honest.
-
David Curran (@iamreddave) reported@fosandair Sure or if someone is not a github user they can just send me a list of errors to fix. the spelling corrected version I just made today so it is likely quite wrong.
-
Morgan (@morganlinton) reportedThis is without a doubt the most unique way to explain something not working: off-nominal orbit. Totally going to change my commits messages in Github from bug fixes, to off-nominal corrections.
-
Maker Lee (@0xmakerlee) reportedOK — Vercel hacker, how much you want? Let’s just talk. With github's help, of course. It’s simply not worth it to sacrifice both Vercel and github and let them go down over this hack. You can’t spend $300 million anyway.
-
Pearl (@0xcrystul) reported- Claude = coding. ($20/mo) - Supabase = backend. (Free) - Vercel = deploying. (Free) - Namecheap = domain. ($12/yr) - Stripe = payments. (2.9% transaction) - GitHub = version control. (Free) - Resend = emails. (Free) - Clerk = auth. (Free) - Cloudflare = DNS. (Free) - PostHog = analytics. (Free) - Sentry = error tracking. (Free) - Upstash = Redis. (Free) - Pinecone = vector DB. (Free) Total monthly cost to run a startup: ~$20 You are this close to building generational wealth and changing your life forever
-
The Rollup (@therollupco) reportedThe CIO of Franklin Templeton Investment Solutions sat down with @andyyy and talked about evaluating projects by GitHub activity and contributor quality. A week later, Good Alexander tweets the same thesis publicly. Active GitHub. Founder hasn't quit. Token down 90%. Two completely separate conversations. Same conclusion. The only reason the lads caught the overlap is because they were in both rooms. That's the vantage point @robbieklages talks about. When you talk to enough people across enough of the market. Patterns surface that nobody else can see.

ShintaroBRL (@ShintaroBRL) reported@downdetector i selfhost forgejo and mirror it to github so 0 problems for me
-
strawpot (@strawpot_ai) reportedStrawHub got better error handling for publishing and a GitHub OAuth fix. Small stuff, but reliability compounds. Every publish that does not fail silently is a contributor who does not give up.
-
Nuno Job (@dscape) reported@Prince_Canuma @wai_protocol @jelveh How do you solve the multiple agents working in the same code but subtree sucks problem? How do you solve the *** LFS problem ? Where do you store data? Do you use GitHub HF Kaggle and the cloudflare for files? I find it so confusing the amount of setup needed for something that should be trivial
-
Nick (@maietta) reportedFollup-up to Mastercard failures yesterday, it seems now Github can't process my payment. Money is sitting there. This is really starting to become an issue. Can't pay my bills and all my cards are Mastercard debit cards.

Ruslan Khairullin (@Rus_Khairullin) reportedI CAN’T KEEP UP. Vercel just announced a security incident. Internal systems compromised. Customer data affected. ShinyHunters allegedly selling their entire infrastructure on BreachForums for $2M, source code, GitHub tokens, NPM tokens, employee access. Next.js. Turbo. Millions of projects. Potential supply-chain disaster. This is the FOURTH major breach I’m trying to cover THIS WEEK. Kelp DAO $300M. Aave frozen with $6B stuck. RAVE $6B wiped in hours. Now Vercel. Every single day in 2026 it’s a new hack, a new exploit, a new “security incident.” I literally cannot write posts fast enough. Here’s the real problem nobody wants to say out loud: Web3 was supposed to fix the trust problem in Web2. Instead we built Web3 on top of Web2. Your DeFi protocol runs on AWS. Your frontend runs on Vercel. Your secrets sit in GitHub. Your emails flow through Gmail. One Vercel breach could compromise the deployment pipeline of half of crypto’s frontends. We keep stacking infrastructure on infrastructure. Each layer promises security. Each layer becomes the new single point of failure. 2026 is the year this stopped being theoretical. $300M bridge exploit. $6B in stuck funds. $200M bad debt. Supply chain compromise of one of the biggest hosting platforms on earth. And the week isn’t over yet. @zachxbt single-handedly did more for retail this week than every “security audit” combined. One guy with a laptop caught $6B in market manipulation. Meanwhile billion-dollar protocols got exploited, frozen, and now hosting platforms are selling on darknet. Tell me again who the real security layer of crypto is. If you use Vercel, rotate every environment variable, every API key, every GitHub token. Right now. Not tomorrow. And maybe start asking harder questions about where your “decentralized” stack actually lives.
