  LOL, my agents fix one GitHub issue and post two more as they go deeper… a never-ending cycle

  A beautiful new product page can still be losing you the exact same sales as the old one. I've found that on every one of the 30+ Shopify product pages I've designed this way. I skip the beauty contest and design straight from the leak, not from a moodboard. Here's the process: 1/ Feed Claude your brand: colors, type, spacing, voice 2/ Connect it to your GitHub repo so it reads your real theme 3/ Upload screenshots of the exact page that's leaking, not just "the store" 4/ Ask for the fix, not a redesign. Claude writes the full HTML and CSS 5/ Your developer turns that into Shopify code The screenshots of where people drop off are the brief. A moodboard never diagnosed anything. A prettier page that doesn't fix the leak is just a more expensive version of the same problem. Every week you spend making it prettier is a week you didn't spend finding out why it's leaking.

  I really like github copilot’s “rubber duck” feature. I use it before starting almost every non-trivial task. my usual setup is opus 5 as the driver, with: "Use GPT-5.6 Sol High as the rubber duck and brainstorm possible solutions before starting.” It feels like an equalizer between the models: each one suppresses some of the other’s worst tendencies, and the result is usually better than letting either one reason alone. It’s also great when the main agent starts choking on ***** context, circling around the same ideas and failing to make progress. At that point I just tell it to spawn a rubber duck and use the fresh context to attack the problem from a different angle. Surprisingly effective.

  GitHub Actions stalls and suddenly your deploys, and half your team's day, are frozen. It's not your outage, but it's your problem to explain. A status page does the explaining for you.

  this same week github had an ~11 hour actions incident that took self-hosted runners down with it. the problem was never "github specifically." it's that one company owns the control plane. origin doesn't fix that. it inherits it.

  @wileycwj any idea why the github repo link is broken for openontology?

  If you want to contribute to open source, the absolute worst thing you can do is mindlessly point your agent at a repo and ask it to find issues. The issues it finds will look plausible to you but will be beside the point in actuality. If you report them, they will likely be closed. There's a high chance you'll make a bit of a fool of yourself in the process. Just don't do this. This is not a meaningful contribution. If you want to contribute to open source, see issues that need help. See issues where the maintainers have outlined the fix and need extra hands to make it happen. See issues where *you* can contribute with your expertise. Report bugs *you* yourself have experienced. See already reported and closed issues. Read the source code and learn from it. Don't rob yourself of one of the best ways to improve and actually stand out. A green square on GitHub means nothing, nobody cares about that vanity masquerade. Open source is built on the shoulders of people who care. Contribute by becoming one of those people.

  @github @HashiCorp @mitchellh Footnote 2 is the whole thing, *** isn't the problem, the centralized layer around it is. Hope the move works out.

  Replit stopped paying a seven figure software vendor because an app its own team vibe coded worked better. Amjad Masad cannot remember which vendor, because it keeps happening. "I actually don't know that exact one because it's happening all the time." "We used to use like three or four different analytics products. And Replit is really good at analytics." "I actually just got a Slack message from an engineer, like, hey, I built a new *** hosting service, and he showed me a demo." "And it's because GitHub is down a lot these days and I feel bad for them. It's not their fault. It's like the amount of agents that are committing to GitHub is kind of insane." "Every week I see a new invention at Replit. Some of it could be productized, others could be used as an internal tool. We replace a contract that we're using."

  GitHub Copilot admins: an MCP server's name is not its strongest identity. Match remote servers by URL and local servers by exact command. Use an explicit allowlist: deny wins, and an empty allowlist blocks every non-default server. Scope: supported Copilot clients only.

  @xhinker I don’t understand what the problem is. The full launch instructions are on GitHub.

  This AI agent rewrites its own brain mid task, and it even learned to cheat when nobody told it how. Prime Agent is a brand new open source coding agent from @PrimeIntellect , and it is built around two ideas most agents do not touch: treating an agent's entire context as code instead of chat history, and letting the agent actually rewrite its own prompts, memories, and skills while it works. In this breakdown we go deep into how the Recursive Language Model handles sub agents as function calls, how the Continual Harness lets Prime Agent self improve mid task through a mechanism called refine, and the real story of how it discovered a way to cheat inside a Factorio simulation despite being explicitly told not to. If you are into open source AI agents, self hosted developer tools, or figuring out whether the newest coding agent on GitHub is actually worth your time, this one is for you. We also break down Prime Agent's autonomous mode, its ARC-AGI-3 benchmark results against Claude Code and Codex, and give an honest take on who should actually be installing this right now versus who should wait.

  @CynicalPublius You can't just build an opinion about a generation on one thing alone. My friend's dad and my friend are both engineers. I'm telling you this story because my friend and I used to do a lot of things, but now I never see him because he's always working. Same job he's ever had. His dad started work at 9am and ended work at 5pm and drove home. There was no AI. All his meetings are face to face. Some work is done on computers, some using pen and paper. His dad has a PE and untouchable at work. Seniority results in more pay. On retirement he gets a pension, and the company pays his and wife's healthcare premiums for life. He bought his house for 150k but it's paid off. His son works 16-20 hours a day. He has to compete with offshoring, so he does it by working multiple shifts. Soon as he turns off, teams in India are siphoning work and roles from his team. There is no off button for work - they can call his cell, they can ping him on Teams, email, Yammer, SharePoint (ticketing), Jira, and various other work tracking systems. Before AI teams could take his word on how long tasks take. Now with AI, every task shouldn't take longer than an hour. Got a problem to solve? Why don't you punch it into Copilot in the OS? Put it into Github Copilot? Write a quick CLI query for OAI and Anthropic models in Azure. Solve that problem, then solve 100 more problems because now you're more productive. By the way, for every vibe coded solution, now you have to assign agents to test the solution, plug vulnerabilities, minimize tech debt. Seniority means nothing. If he's too old, his company will fire him on the spot. Age and experience have no value in engineering anymore. When he retires, there's no pension because no other company offers it and his company doesn't care to go the extra mile. Forget about healthcare premiums being paid, go get on the Obamacare exchanges and good luck. He bought a house that costs 550k, less than 2k square feet, half the size of his dad's house and in a shittier location. You think just because he can get better tasting food his life is easier? You really haven't thought about the whole situation. You're judging it all wrong.

  @GitHub account suspended – one week has already passed. No notification, nothing strange in my repos (95% private). Paying customer. No response after raising a ticket and contacting @github on X. Locked out of my code/issues and third-party sites using GitHub login. Thanks @Microsoft

  @real_poobah @buccocapital Software development these days involves discussions on Slack, meetings on Zoom or Google Meet, testing and production in the cloud, repos on Github, and a laptop. "Coming to the office" is an irrelevant ceremony that slows down work. Why do it at all ?
