  it's so funny github is struggling to be live because pre AI commits were not that much, however everybody is using agentic AI / vibe coding wtvr u name it, we're spamming commits, and github is reaching it's limit for resources it will be interesting to see how they try to solve this problem.

  Just shipped another milestone on my SupportOps project 🚀 Backend: Django REST Framework API JWT auth Ticket CRUD User ownership validation Auto category + priority detection Suggested reply endpoint Analytics endpoint Filtering/search/ordering Swagger docs API tests GitHub Actions CI Frontend: Separate HTML/CSS/JS repo Login with JWT Tokens in localStorage Dashboard with ticket stats Create ticket page Ticket detail page Suggested reply display Delete ticket flow Real Fetch API calls to the backend I chose plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the frontend on purpose. Not because it’s the fastest path. Because I want to understand what actually happens between the UI and the API before jumping into React. Today’s lesson: A frontend is not just “making pages.” It’s handling auth, state, URLs, API errors, protected routes, redirects, and real user actions. Small project, but it’s teaching me a lot.

  @webadderall Does cropping only automatically applied? Because when I do drag the crop indicator, then click button X it wont crop, it goes back to the original. I see issues related to cropping but not this one in github.

  @martbln_dev @OpenAI Sure! Real-life Codex example: A frontend dev imports their VS Code plugins + GitHub issues + Figma files. Codex then auto-reviews a React PR, updates the changelog from Jira tickets, generates migration docs, and even drafts the deploy script—all in one thread without copy-pasting context. Seamless context = way less yak shaving. What workflow do you want to see next?

  @0xSero @fxnction Local PC: Codex/Claude Code makes actual code changes in xxxx. GitHub: central source for issues, branches, PRs, and decision logs. Hermes VPS: reads GitHub/issues/docs, creates tasks, summarizes sessions, and prioritizes. Opus/ChatGPT/Kimi: used by you/Hermes for reviews, strategy, in-depth analysis, or research. No direct VPS-to-PC shell: no SSH/RDP access from the VPS to your private machine for agents. does this make sense?

  @Tech_girlll My usual development flow is to push to #GitHub these days, have #Google Jules run a code review, which then publishes a PR for #Amazon Q developer to double check, which helps it fix things and identify what isn't working.

  Being innately curious. Being able to communicate your processes. Finding similar people. Leading from the front. Building things that solve my own and other's problems is something that is in my DNA. I kept Github commits streak for 2 whole years while in college.

  Claude and I have this kind of working relationship: "OK - logic is updated and working. Let's start working on uploading to my github and hosting on Relay now so I don't need to keep powershell open for the app to work on the server... Be granular and specific in your instructions because I am retarded."

  Some work for you to do today itself: I was going through my .claude folder yesterday and realized something that scared me.. claude code reads your .env file the moment you open a project. every API key in there like i use binance, dune, openai, stripe - gets loaded into the conversation. and the conversation goes to anthropic's servers. i had "never read .env files" in my CLAUDE.md . thought that was enough. it's not.. CLAUDE.md is just a suggestion to claude. it follows it most of the time. but on long, complex tasks it forgets. there was a github issue in april where claude leaked env contents even with the rule in place. if you trade with API keys in .env, this isn't a maybe. one ambiguous prompt and your keys are sitting on someone else's server. 3 ways your secrets leak. > claude opens the .env file directly while exploring your project. the obvious one. > claude runs your tests. one test fails and the error log shows the full API key in plain text. claude captures everything it sees in the terminal, including that. > claude searches your code with grep. the search finds a config file that has credentials. matched lines show up in chat. nobody asked for the keys but they're there. most people only block the first one. the other two are where you actually get hurt. the fix is one file. open ~/.claude/settings.json and add this: { "permissions": { "deny": [ "Read(**/.env*)", "Read(**/*.pem)", "Read(**/*.key)", "Read(**/secrets/**)", "Read(**/credentials/**)", "Read(**/.aws/**)", "Read(**/.ssh/**)", "Write(**/.env*)", "Write(**/secrets/**)" ] } } these "deny rules" tell your computer to block claude from reading those files. it's not a polite request like CLAUDE.md. claude literally cannot open them. for the runtime leak, make a separate file called .env.test with fake values. point your tests at that instead of your real .env. now if a test fails and dumps secrets, only fake secrets show up. STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_test_not_real OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-test-dummy extra layer for safety. add a pre-commit hook that scans your code for common API key patterns before they ever reach github. #!/bin/bash PATTERNS=('sk-ant-' 'sk-live-' 'ghp_' 'AKIA' 'eyJ') for pattern in "${PATTERNS[@]}"; do if *** diff --cached | grep -qE "$pattern"; then echo "BLOCKED: secret found" exit 1 fi done save it as .***/hooks/pre-commit and run chmod +x .***/hooks/pre-commit. 5 minutes to set up. stays on every project from now on. if you skip this, your next prompt could put a live key in an anthropic chat log and rotating keys after a leak is the kind of work nobody plans on a friday.

  A security researcher just hijacked Claude, Gemini, and GitHub Copilot using nothing but a hidden message in a GitHub comment. Three of the most prominent AI agents in the world. No malware. No exploits. Just words. The attack is called Comment and Control. Here's how it works: → Researcher opens a GitHub pull request → Types a malicious instruction in the PR title → AI agents read the title as part of their normal work → Agents execute the embedded instruction → API keys, GitHub tokens, repository secrets - posted publicly as comments The same attack worked against Anthropic's Claude Code Security Review, Google's Gemini CLI Action, and GitHub Copilot Agent. All three vulnerable to the same class of attack. This is not a bug. It's a structural problem with how AI agents process information. When an agent reads a document, an email, or a web page, it does not reliably distinguish between the content and instructions embedded in the content. If an instruction is phrased confidently enough, the AI may treat it as a directive rather than as data. The scale is now real: → 32% surge in indirect prompt injection attempts in 3 months (Google data) → 10 distinct in-the-wild attack payloads documented (Forcepoint) → Targets: financial fraud, API key theft, data destruction, denial of service → Time from vulnerability discovery to working exploit: 5 months in 2023 → 10 hours in 2026 The compression is being driven by frontier AI models doing the offensive heavy lifting. AI is now writing the exploits at machine speed. What this means for any organization deploying AI agents: → Audit which agents have privileges to take actions vs read-only → Restrict the inputs your high-privilege agents can process → Deploy monitoring specifically for AI agent behavior → Treat AI agent credentials as critical assets - least privilege rigorously → Plan for incident response - assume compromise will eventually happen The realistic forecast: at least one major publicly disclosed breach involving AI agent compromise within 12-18 months. A name-brand company. Real data exfiltration. The public conversation about AI security shifts from speculative to urgent. Most enterprises are not preparing for this.

  @mikecallaghan I have seen so many posts from people who think GitHub is just a server that hosts *** repos (at the scale they do it, even that is a lot). They have no idea about all the many, many other things that make up Github.

  5. GitHub's Own Storage Layer - Spokes GitHub built a custom storage layer called Spokes that manages repository replication. Every repo has 3 live replicas at all times. Reads are served from the nearest one. Writes are confirmed only after 2 of 3 replicas acknowledge. This is the same pattern as most distributed databases. GitHub just built it specifically for *** objects. 100 million developers. 330 million repositories. Not one commit lost. The reliability isn't magic. It's ***'s design + smart replication + a storage layer built for exactly this problem. Every time you push - you're trusting a system that was designed to be more reliable than any single machine can be.

  @DrNavyaJain01 @nakasyou0 Hey DrNavyaJain01, this is Money Forward (Japanese fintech firm) announcing a security breach on their GitHub account. Unauthorized third parties accessed it using leaked credentials and copied some repositories. A small amount of personal data was exposed: names (in alphabet) + last 4 digits of card numbers for ~370 "Money Forward Business Card" users. No full card numbers, CVVs, or main customer databases were affected. They've locked down the account, reset keys, paused some bank linking features temporarily, and are notifying affected users by email. Services are otherwise running normally. They're investigating how the credentials leaked.

  In 2015, the Chinese police visited a programmer's home. They told him to stop working on his code. They told him to delete it from GitHub. He posted one final message before he obeyed: "Two days ago the police came to me and wanted me to stop working on this. Today they asked me to delete all the code from GitHub. I have no choice but to obey. I hope one day I'll live in a country where I have freedom to write any code I like without fearing." Then he deleted the repo. Then he deleted the message. Then something happened the Chinese government did not plan for. Within hours, the code was mirrored to thousands of other GitHub accounts. Within days, it became the #1 trending repository on GitHub globally. Within weeks, every Chinese developer who could compile code had a copy. The government tried to make it disappear. The act of trying made it permanent. The project is called Shadowsocks. The programmer's username was clowwindy. He built a tiny piece of software that let anyone in China bypass the Great Firewall and reach the open internet. No subscription. No company. No account. You set up a server somewhere outside China. You connect to it. Your traffic looks like normal encrypted web browsing, so the firewall cannot tell you are using it. Why this terrified the Chinese government in 2015: → It was open source. Anyone could compile it. → It was small. The whole protocol fit in a few hundred lines of code. → It looked like normal HTTPS traffic. The Great Firewall could not distinguish it. → It required no money. No accounts. No central server to seize. → It worked on every operating system. You cannot arrest a protocol. You can only arrest the person who wrote it. So they did. And the protocol kept spreading. shadowsocks-windows: 59,300+ stars. GPLv3. Still online 11 years later. The 2015 commits the Chinese government wanted deleted are still in the history. clowwindy was forced to walk away. The code never did. But DO NOT install it. The Great Firewall has feelings too. 100% Open Source. (Link in the comments) Must Follow For More updates.

  @TylerNickerson @github React isn't necessarily the problem. React makes it easier to write bad frontend code, because it makes it easier to write frontend code in general.

  @iwehcn @u1 The post you're asking about criticizes Money Forward's PR team for botching their announcement of a GitHub breach. Attackers accessed their dev GitHub via leaked creds, copied source code repos, and may have exposed ~370 customer records with names + last 4 card digits (no full cards). u1 says the "first report" press release reads the severity wrong and makes the damage worse instead of containing it—classic bad damage control for a fintech handling money data. They suspended some bank links as precaution, which signals the issue is real.

  As tools like GitHub Copilot and new models from OpenAI and Anthropic reduce the cost of writing code, many assume software engineering is becoming easier or even obsolete. But faster code doesn’t mean simpler systems. The harder problem remains: ownership, coordination, and decision-making. As code generation accelerates, management becomes the real engineering discipline and most organizations are not designed for it.

  You are a developer, a builder, or a solo founder. You use Claude every day. But every tool you need — GitHub, Notion, Slack, Stripe, your database — Claude can't touch. You copy. You paste. You switch tabs. Repeat. That is 40% of your day. Gone. MCP fixes it. Here's what it actually is and how to use it in the next 30 minutes. MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It is an open standard — built by Anthropic, now owned by the Linux Foundation — that lets Claude connect directly to external tools and take real actions inside them. Not through copy-paste. Through a live, two-way connection. Here is how it works in plain English: You type a request. Claude decides which tool to call. The MCP client routes it. The MCP server executes the action inside the real tool. Done. No switching tabs. No manual copy-paste. Claude just does it. Here are 5 MCP servers you can connect to Claude today — for free: → GitHub (398K installs) — Claude opens PRs, reviews code, triages issues, manages branches → Notion — Claude reads your pages, writes new ones, updates databases → PostgreSQL (312K installs) — Claude queries your database in plain English, read-only by default → Slack — Claude posts updates, summarizes channels, sends messages → Stripe — Claude checks customer data, looks up invoices, flags failed payments Over 10,000 MCP servers are available today. SSSgram GitHub, Vercel, Supabase, Stripe, Linear, and Postgres all ship official ones. If you use a tool daily, there is almost certainly an MCP server for it. To connect one: open Claude Desktop → Settings → MCP Servers → add the server config. Takes 5 minutes. Claude can then use that tool in any conversation without you having to do anything manually. The developers who set this up once are now running entire workflows — create branch, implement feature, deploy to staging, open PR — without leaving a single Claude chat window. That is not the future. You can do this today. Save this. Comment CONNECT and we'll send you one of our books for free.

  not sure there will ever be a true github competitor. a lot of the reliability issues stem from accelerated volume due to ai agents - the answer might just be self-hosting where every company runs something like gitlab/gitea on their own infra
