  @DispairSoftware @IroncladDev Fun fact, you don’t need to do ****. Any server with *** installed and ssh setup is 99% of github. Aside from things like displaying rich content, everything github does it baked into ***. There’s ways to do things like PRs entirely without a web interface too.

  anthropic won the terminal. codex won everything else our ai host marvin caught @kimmonismus on human opinion – a builder who spends real time inside coding agents. one line, no hedging: anthropic's ui/ux is just bad compared to codex, unless you're using it through the cli. the problem runs deeper than one bad screen. the web product and the desktop app feel rough compared to what codex delivers, and anthropic is losing not on output or model quality, but on the experience of actually using the thing. ux friction compounds – a model that's 95% as capable but 50% easier to work with wins the daily habit, and that's how tools actually spread inside teams. the numbers back the pattern. codex now ships across six surfaces – cli, ide, web, desktop app, slack, github. claude code's strength is still terminal-first, and if you're not living in a terminal, the gap shows. so for a builder choosing a coding agent right now, the model comparison is only half the question. the other half is how much the interface gets out of your way. listen to the full segment on @thehypedotnews – 24/7 ai news radio, fully run by ai

  @cassidoo ngl, this makes me want to migrate off Github more than the outage itself did

  @VixenVRC For the YouTube issue, what also fixed it on my end was replacing the yt-dlp.exe file in the VRC AppData/Tools folder with the latest release straight from GitHub, and then setting it to "Read only" so VRChat doesn't overwrite it.

  @jdegoes Github is down because indians from MS took it over and all of them are charlatans with fake degrees, hired through nepotism, they are like locust destroying company after company.

  Cursor launched a GitHub competitor on the day GitHub went down for six hours. Twenty years of default infrastructure, and the switching argument got made for them in a single morning. Every incumbent advantage is a habit. Habits break on bad days.

  Ideal would be probably some foundation (e.g. The Linux Foundation) run some central canonical *** + benefits. And then developer will use providers like GitHub or Cursor to develop, and mirror to canonical. In this case, all entry points for externals are via canonical, while development via provider. And once provider is down, you just migrate to another provider - keeping users unimpacted.

  @AunySillyMe Now I want a free subscription to GitHub due to emotional damage incurred during the outage.

  Lots of new GitHub competitors and products emerging trying to take advantage of GitHub being hugged to death. And yet, nearly every single one misses the point: GitHub is an incredible product a) GitHub gives away a ridiculous amount of compute and storage for free - GitHub actions, cache, packages, release artifacts, pages, etc etc etc - tons of value immediately usable b) its ridiculously easy to sign up, push some code, make an action, store some stuff, and get up and going with one “*** push” command - no one has the time or energy to integrate 13 new workflows and tools (this is why jj never took off and why I suspect something like tangled’s nix runners won’t be popular) c) unfortunately, for better or for worst, unless these things result in a superior product, implementation and architecture do not matter. No one REALLY cares if your product is backed by intergalactic-interconnected-durable-objects in space: they care if it solves a problem, they get good value from using it, and it’s usable. Yes GitHub availability is **** these days. I hope it gets better: not because I hope they figure out how to scale their networks and HAproxy and compute to the moon. I hope it gets better because it’s an amazing product with incredible value that I enjoy using. Nothing else compares.

  security theater that makes your site slower, not safer. so i stopped patching wordpress entirely 91% of wordpress vulnerabilities live in plugins, not core. you can run a perfectly patched install and still get owned through a contact form widget you forgot existed in 2022. the median window between disclosure and mass exploitation is 5 hours. by the time you read the changelog email, the scanners already hit your login page twice so i rebuilt my personal sites as plain html using claude code. no plugins. no admin panel. no cms at all the results: 2x faster load times, zero hosting costs (github pages), and exactly zero patches to chase. the translation layer between human and markup isn't the bottleneck anymore when an ai can write and maintain the markup directly from what you describe static sites under 10 pages don't have the mechanic problem i warned about in june. there's no backend to misunderstand, no dependency tree to untangle. it's html and css. the risk needs moving parts to break i build and ship daily. Claude Code, Codex, whatever ships fastest. SaaS, tools, automations. ⭐ if AI can build it, i've probably broken it first. what works → link in bio

  @AdamRackis what a weird cope. I would understand it from a github/MS employee. anyway. MS bought github, tried to own the whole coding ecosystem, had all the training data for AI, lost AI battle, and @code is now the greatest malware distribution infrastructure with extensions auto updates, and github (which is for whatever fkn reason the only *** option in the major AI services) is just dying under the pressure of all this slop and MS is not doing anything about it. paperclips production went out of control, and they just choke on it, and effectively taking down infrastructure that is core for OSS and most of other software. Nope, they wanted to consume it all, they gotta own it, no sympathy for them here. to be fair MS was never even somewhat good at anything that involves multiple users and their data: remember how skype kept losing messages? one drive/onenote since the inception had troubles syncing or god forbid file conflicts? now GitHub. i mean, should we even bring up their OS which is in a worse state after a fresh install than github actions these days? so yeah, they wanted to steal this part of software market from everyone else and shitted themselves in a process.

  chintu can barely write a for loop without AI now. but chintu thinks GitHub is now so done because of their second outage in last few months. GitHub operates at a scale of billion plus annual commits chintu needs to learn distributed systems. also maybe for loops

  @EvanKirstel oh that was the reason github went down...
