    @ideologix @WatcherGuru Sure. Genuine crypto projects usually show: 1. Transparent team with real identities and proven track record. 2. Clear whitepaper solving an actual problem with working tech. 3. Audited smart contracts by reputable firms. 4. Active development on GitHub and engaged community. 5. Sensible tokenomics without huge insider dumps. 6. On-chain transparency and some regulatory steps. Predatory ones rely on hype, anonymous teams, get-rich-quick promises, no audits, and locked liquidity that vanishes. Always verify on-chain data yourself.

    I think GitHub is handling the load just fine. From what I see, what’s breaking them are bugs. A bunch of random HTTP 500 error pages, UI breaking because async api requests fail, and things that should happen just silently not happening. GitHub is not slow in my experience. It’s buggy.

    @DIGI__Byte I'd probably recommend giving Resonite another (genuine) try - it sounds like you tried it long ago at a bad spot to me. If you have feedback for improvements, we also have open GitHub (we have "friction point" type of issue for things too), that would help!

    @github Hi @github , my primary GitHub account xunxun2001 is flagged and I can’t submit the official appeal because SMS verification lacks +86/+852. Ticket #4343546 was opened from another account. Please route this verification-blocking issue to the right team. Thanks.

    @News_Arena_ I didn't you Termux to create the first agent i used GitHub so how is it possible to use Termux to verify because it's not working for me

    @futabooo Login friction is a real blocker. → We run as a GitHub App, install once, fires on every push. Nothing to log into, nothing to stay logged out of.

    @johncrickett I think issue with Github issue sudden surge of data ingress which wasn't planned/designed for agentic era. Nonetheless they are trying and scaling. Please give them some time.

    @phouses_s @warpdotdev Hey Paco, I'm sorry that you are experiencing this. Can you file a github issue and tag @kevinchevalier ? I will need some more information about your setup and how you are using Warp.

    @tanishqk File an issue on the GitHub project page and I will make the footer configurable. Don't forget to check out the "pi-jarvis" project if you need to have a side conversation while the main agent is busy.

    @BLUECOW009 Oh my god I actually just read this, like 83,3333 mark down files? No wonder @Forloopscode context+ repo on GitHub took off so hard and is still great to use.

    @vladchatware @mkristensen I'm struggling with SKILLS to create GitHub issues via the 'gh' cli. An Issue needs a correct Milestone. I want a very cheap Model for this. It often fails and takes way too long. I guess I have more success when I put this Milestone pick logic in an Mcp Server Tool.

    HashiCorp's co-founder says GitHub is no longer a place for serious work. I get it. Pull requests sit for weeks. Discussions go nowhere. Issues pile up. But the alternative isn't obvious. What platform actually lets you ship faster?

    Why Developers are Leaving GitHub Again Developers are increasingly dissatisfied with GitHub's reliability amid ongoing outages and leadership changes. Notable figures in the development community, like Mitchell Hashimoto, are leaving GitHub, signalling broader discontent. Concerns now focus on whether GitHub can effectively serve its users rather than philosophical issues. Users are questioning how much unreliability they can tolerate before seeking alternatives to GitHub

    My feed: - @github sucks, I am leaving - @claudeai sucks, I am leaving - Codex sucks, I am leaving Can you all explain something to me. Were you even developers before AI? If not, sit down, you do not get to complain. If so, do you remember what writing code actually is?

    I know its in-vogue to **** on github right now, but sometimes I run into issues in the github app that make me think the engineers there must not use the product. like githubs monorepo is in tortoiseSVN or bitbucket or something, that's the only way I could hit these issues

  • imsaif71

    Exactly, it’s like people with thousands of slop repo freely hosted on #github , crying for GitHub outage. Ask your slop agent “how to get a life and be grateful”

    @sudoingX The Github Copilot Pro Plus runs will be sorely missed. Have been full timing fine tuning my Hermes setup since. Context and project level focus and are often more important than bench scores. It's a constant dance as you know but have enjoyed the challenge of maxing out a Ryzen 9 6900x w AMD 680m 32 GB GPU LPDDR5. The idea is to have a backpackable, low power consumption agent that can run off of external batteries on low power settings. I have the 3.6 27b q4 KXL running really well offline but i often use my swarming/QMD 3.5 9b often too, does really well. GTT opened up the rest of my GPU for LLM inference recently so it opened the door the the XL Q4. I run the q4 as oracle when my 9b agents (Trinity and Morpheus) need assistance. They do a automatized handoff of ports so that the models dont run at same time and leave GPU optimal. The handoff lets them call up Oracle at will and then Oracle passes back to them and shuts herself down after she updates the passdown with her conclusions. This system lets me run everything offline on my mini pc, no external gpu.

    The underlying problem is the scale at which Vibe-coded software gets uploaded. I would say that vibe coding has increased the demand on the infrastructure, and apparently, GitHub struggles to keep up. Probably every service has suffered from this, and probably hosting your own service is the best way to mitigate it. As I am based in Europe, I was already thinking about moving due to privacy and sovereignty concerns.

    @booletgopew @planefag The problem with github is it's not consistent where the download option is. It tends to be wherever the developer themself puts it and they all have different ideas on where it should go.

    @SantoshYadavDev Gitea is already there.. With 2 prompts, one can set it up locally within WSL. Why are guys defending Github as if it is an Alien Tech? Its a set of services that can run in any server, local or otherwise. If guys haven't tried setting up?
