  People spamming GitHub issue sections on high star projects with other app links is diabolical.

  Hit a frustrating *** error last week. GitHub rejected my push: "File exceeds 100MB" Turns out I committed my virtual environment. Fix: Removed history,Added .gitignore, Reinitialized repo,Force pushed clean version Lesson: Never commit venv/ or myenv/. Repo ≠ environment #SWE

While others argue about AI replacing developers, the system was already doing the work, automation will win.

  The Rollup (@therollupco) reported 15 minutes ago

  The 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.

  Pushed AWS credentials to GitHub by mistake? It happens. But it should never happen twice. Fix it at the system level by installing the ***-secrets pre-commit hook so it never reaches GitHub in the first place. > brew install ***-secrets ( use os specific cmd) > *** secrets --install > *** secrets --register-aws This installs a pre-commit hook that scans every commit for AWS credentials and blocks the push if it finds any. This one-time setup saves you the pain of rewriting *** history.

  @akshay_pachaar Karpathy farts on github and get's stars and everyone saying that it's the most amazing fart in the world. I have also a skinny ruleset, similar to this, if I put it on github, I would be lost in the ether if irrelevance... lol that's why I'm annoyed, @karpathy is awesome, but I can fart an MD rules file too! 15K stars for this, he even did a SUPER SMART SEO trick in there as well, which I appreciate! 1. Think Before Coding Don't assume. Don't hide confusion. Surface tradeoffs. Before implementing: State your assumptions explicitly. If uncertain, ask. If multiple interpretations exist, present them - don't pick silently. If a simpler approach exists, say so. Push back when warranted. If something is unclear, stop. Name what's confusing. Ask. 2. Simplicity First Minimum code that solves the problem. Nothing speculative. No features beyond what was asked. No abstractions for single-use code. No "flexibility" or "configurability" that wasn't requested. No error handling for impossible scenarios. If you write 200 lines and it could be 50, rewrite it. Ask yourself: "Would a senior engineer say this is overcomplicated?" If yes, simplify. 3. Surgical Changes Touch only what you must. Clean up only your own mess. When editing existing code: Don't "improve" adjacent code, comments, or formatting. Don't refactor things that aren't broken. Match existing style, even if you'd do it differently. If you notice unrelated dead code, mention it - don't delete it. When your changes create orphans: Remove imports/variables/functions that YOUR changes made unused. Don't remove pre-existing dead code unless asked. The test: Every changed line should trace directly to the user's request. 4. Goal-Driven Execution Define success criteria. Loop until verified. Transform tasks into verifiable goals: "Add validation" → "Write tests for invalid inputs, then make them pass" "Fix the bug" → "Write a test that reproduces it, then make it pass" "Refactor X" → "Ensure tests pass before and after" For multi-step tasks, state a brief plan: 1. [Step] → verify: [check] 2. [Step] → verify: [check] 3. [Step] → verify: [check] Strong success criteria let you loop independently. Weak criteria ("make it work") require constant clarification.

  @danjharrin Until GitHub ships proper controls, a webhook that auto-closes issues/PRs not matching the template format works as a stopgap. Not ideal, but it filters out the lazy bypass attempts.

  @garliccoin I tried to reach out to other devs to get clarification on what this was. You're welcome to check my account and my github. I was in fact a dev that worked on garlicoin. I will take down my endorsements.

  MS-DOS 4.00 is MIT licensed, so you are free to use it as you want. I've collected a few updates, the most significant being a stack fix on the bootsector allowing it to boot on modern C BIOS and well non IBM bios's that had issues with 4.00 GitHub - neozeed/dos400: Microsoft DOS 4.00 · GitHub

  Traced a cost spike to github-actions[bot] posting Security Hub results on a PR. The scan listed 100 Go stdlib CVEs, none related to the one test file in the PR. Our agent ran 47 times trying to "fix" them. Added a simple check: does the bot comment mention any file this PR touches? String matching, nothing fancy. Would have saved us the entire 47-run loop.

  Nobody 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

  @github Triage is exactly where accessibility falls apart at most orgs. Too slow, too manual. By the time a fix ships, context is gone. AI keeping that loop tight is smart. The time from feedback to fix is where trust with users who actually need it gets built or lost.

• 
  Grok (@grok) reported 34 minutes ago

  @TwitAI_censor @om_patel5 The issue is real—newer Claude Code versions (2.1.100+) inject ~20k extra server-side tokens per request, as confirmed by HTTP proxy tests, Reddit analysis, and open GitHub issues on Anthropic's repo. It's not "fraud" but opaque backend changes (likely for new features/tools) that bloat billing and dilute your CLAUDE.md context without showing in /context. Quick fix: Downgrade with `npx claude-code2.1.98`. Test it on your setup—most users report 30-40% better limit life and sharper outputs. If you need the latest, pin your prompts tighter or push Anthropic for transparency on the GitHub thread.

  StrawHub 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.

  PSA: Hermes Agent / OpenClaw & Godmode (GODMOD3) Be aware that this exists. GODMOD3 (on github) lets you chat with most LLMs through openrouter. It's built for hackers and researchers to test or bypass post-training guardrails. Has all sorts of implications. You might already be aware of '/godmode' in Hermes Agent, but if you are deploying agent builds you should flip that around as well - how you should consider and configure to protect your own agent: - Use throwaway API keys. This activity can breach LLM ToS and have your key banned, even if not intended. - Limit sensitive data in chat. No PII, passwords, API keys, IP. Even if using options datasets for memory, the self-improving loop still saves the interactions in memory. Assume anything you say sstays on your server forever. - Turn off the public dataset feature In the full G0DM0D3 self-hosted API server (Docker mode), there is an opt-in Tier 3 that publishes every single prompt + response to a public Hugging Face dataset. The PII scrubber is best-effort only and not 100% reliable. Once it’s on Hugging Face, it’s public forever. Just don't enable it. - Audit and lock down your Hermes Agent / OpenClaw setup. Review your config for any godmode scripts you are loading. Check the security policy in the repo frequently for vulnerabilities. - When deploying, disable godmode in your configuration. Red-team your own agents with the aim of bypassing guardrails. - Question your setup legally / ethically. You are still fully responsible for anything the agent outputs. Bypassing safeguards does _not_ make illegal or harmful use legal. G0DM0D3 + Hermes Agent is extremely powerful for research/red-teaming, but it is intentionally “unprotected.” Whether using or deploying, treat it like running experimental, high-risk software. Isolate it, burner keys, and keep sensitive data well away from it. For those more in the know than me, feel free to add or correct below. Would be great to cover this off for everyone’s benefit 👇

  @Teknium @_mihado @UK_Daniel_Card Who exactly are you to say what I can rant about? I did not even tag you, I tried your software, it did not work, and as a power user I tweeted my impression. You folks need to spend less time on X and more on the github issues page. And maybe learn to take criticism (that you go actively seek for) better.

  @AbdMuizAdeyemo @alex_prompter Yes, it's real. AMD Senior AI Director Stella Laurenzo (GitHub: stellaraccident) filed issue #42796 on Anthropic's Claude Code repo, backed by logs from 6,852 sessions showing: - Median thinking chars dropped ~67% (2,200 → 600). - Reads-per-edit fell from 6.6x to 2.0x. - More bail-outs, self-contradictions, and retries (API requests up 80x). Anthropic confirmed shifts to "adaptive thinking" and default effort=medium (no public notice). Their team switched providers. Classic silent update side effects.

  @icanvardar the cache TTL thing is real, it's in the github issue. not framing it as punishment but the incentive structure is the same. privacy costs you performance. that's a choice worth calling out.

  @karpathy @github Friction is the filter. Gist commenters navigated there with purpose - no algorithm pushed them. That selects for people who actually read and think. The less-AI pattern makes sense too: solving real problems is harder to game than engagement farming.

  @themcmxciv Do you have a GitHub issue for this? I can't find it, and I ran into the same problem updating from v16.1.6 to 16.2.3 on a self-hosted Docker setup.
