GitHub Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Pablo Pablo (@navtechai) reported@rohanpaul_ai Using original tasks instead of public GitHub issues the model already saw. What a concept.
-
Oleksandr Nikitin (@oleksandr_now) reportedoh nice, github loses edits to the issue text (and you end up with discontinuous edits, ie deltas which would've been impossible to apply in order)
-
Luis Soares (@luishsoares) reportedLayerZero blamed Kelp for ignoring multi-DVN best practice. Kelp's rebuttal was brutal: LayerZero's OWN quickstart + default GitHub config pointed to the 1/1 setup. A LayerZero rep approved it in writing: "No problem on using defaults either…"

Vini B |「 thecoding 」 (@vinibarbosabr) reportedTL;DR on SUI's outage today (speculation based on github activity) the problem was a technical mix-up in how the system handles gas fees and an internal account balance tracker called the accumulator. + some users paid gas using a newer “pay from your address balance” feature + one (or more) of those transactions ran into an error early + because of a bug, the system still recorded a small withdrawal from the user’s balance — even though the transaction was failing + this made the internal balance tracker go negative for some accounts (which is never allowed) + when Sui tried to “settle” everything at the end of the checkpoint, it hit a hard stop and crashed all the validators more on that below ↓

Greg Bergé (@gregberge_) reportedGitHub is the shittiest software we are all obliged to use. When you have outage almost every day for a year you are just bad at engineering. Can’t wait for a replacement to pop.

whatsHotapp_DotCom (@WALLA_MAJIC) reported@mitsuhiko @nkohari That’s horrible lmaoooo luckily when I hit up top GitHub repositories they do reply back especially when you leave something on issues . These are the ones that have 10 -15 maintainers.

DataJuggler (@DataJuggler007) reportedTwo things I can't understand. Visual Studio has Feedback. They don't send you an email 'Hey, we replied'. Also, GitHub Issues expect you to check more than a hundred repos 1 at a time for issues. It seems they would notify you.

Prityush bansal (@Prityush) reportedI will hire a person with proof of work anyday over someone who shows me they have done 500 lc problems, this doesnt mean copied github projects or doing something for the cv, it gets figured out in the first 10 mins of interviewing, those who have a knack for it can solve these problems or point it in the right direction. One of my quriky hiring challenge is to see if they can play a souls game (sekiro, bloodborne, the types), or if they have played rts games, can you guess what skills are common in that and solving for software engineering? Not saying lc is bad, we still look into that when we are hiring someone for a very particular role, but that playbook went out the window with ai becoming good, I really dont care whether you can remember syntax or how to solve a binary tree, I do care if you have experience with terminal, hardware, orchestrating jobs on gpu's, schedulers and a 1000 different other things that are not present in lc

Extella Research (@extellaresearch) reportedat 48% context, claude told a user it wasn't being effective anymore. recommended starting a fresh session. less than halfway through a 1M context window. github issue #34685, anthropic's own repo. extella runs the other direction. each session builds on the last.

Juan Montesinos (@jfmontgar) reported@rauchg Why would then the quality of GitHub get worse over time? In my company we faced two severe bugs where our devs would face restricted access and did not even appear in the logs. This infra is now vibecoded or issues the more they integrate Microsoft services.

arko📕 (@edt_arko) reportedAn open-source AI agent just hit 170,000 GitHub stars in 3 months. It learns from its own work. Runs on YOUR server. Never forgets anything. And the token isn't even out yet. Everything you need to know about @NousResearch Hermes Agent 👇

machi nothing can stop this 47 (@_machi47) reportedit’s Microsoft. Responsible disclosure is posting on GitHub publicly because it’s the only way to get credit for it and have Microsoft actually acknowledge and change the issue. I ain’t reading all that tho

Febb (@xFebbio) reportedGitHub is one of the most critical platforms in the world. And they just lost control of 3,800 internal repositories through a single compromised VS Code extension. Not because the system is weak. But because there's no layer that can detect, stop, or at least slow down malicious activity before it's too late. And this is just the beginning. In a world where AI agents operate autonomously without humans in the loop, attack vectors like this will become more frequent and faster. Every agent running without clear governance is a vulnerability waiting to be exploited. That's why the most important question in the agentic era isn't how smart the agent is. But who authorized its actions, what are its limits, and is there a record of every decision it made. Rialo is building infrastructure to answer those questions at the protocol level. Governance problems aren't future problems. This is happening today and it will only get worse.

Bret Greenstein (@bretgreenstein) reported@DaveShapi Starbucks - very pool AI implementation. It is not an inherent AI issue. Microsoft moved the same coding workloads to Github Copilot, likely spending more due to rework if they are not leveraging the best models and harness. Uber gets enormous value from AI already. If they overspent their budget they either rolled it out in an undisciplined way or underbudgeted. There are barely any knowledge tasks where AI is not significantly cheaper than doing things manually.

EveryDev.ai (@EveryDevAi) reportedTired of context-switching to a chat tool just to ask an AI to review your PR or implement an issue? Sepo runs an AI agent directly inside GitHub Actions — no external service, just mention @sepo-agent and it codes, reviews, or fixes branches in your own repo. More in the next tweet. #DevTools

The Pragmatic Engineer (@Pragmatic_Eng) reportedTypeScript was open-sourced at a time when Microsoft had a strong anti-open-source reputation. Anders Hejlsberg(@ahejlsberg) ,creator of C#, TypeScript & Turbo Pascal, on how they ended up on GitHub: TypeScript creators wanted to open-source TypeScript, but Microsoft was resistant: “Microsoft was slowly waking up to the fact that open source was not going to go away. Open source was where developers wanted to be, and they were voting with their feet. Yet, there's a collective DNA that has been trained to pull you in the other direction. And so that battle - we were right in the centre of that. We full well knew that there was absolutely zero chance that we would appeal to the JavaScript ecosystem with a proprietary programming language licensed from Microsoft. No, no one was going to come. It had to be open source. There was just no two ways about it, but getting that off the ground inside Microsoft, it took some pulling and we paid some taxes.” Initial open sourcing was far from ideal: “We did eventually get the okay to do open source because we had two technical fellows, myself and Steve Luco - who was the other co-inventor of TypeScript - insisting. So, okay, people weren't going to debate that, but of course you have to pay the tax and be on Microsoft's open source repository called CodePlex, where exactly no one was. We were there for the first two years and it kind of was crickets. It wasn't until 2014 when we moved on to GitHub that things really started to get moving with adoption." Being on GitHub changed their workflow, to TypeScript’s benefit: “Honestly, it totally changed our workflow. There's open source and there's open development. We were technically open source in the beginning, but it was not open development. We would sort of lop the source code out of its repository and scrape the issues off of that and put it into our internal issue tracker. But, once we switched to GitHub, the entire workflow moved to open development, and that I love that workflow. We've been there now for over a decade and it's been fantastic, and it's what made the product as good as it is.”

Moe (@katibmoe) reported> An integration provider just got hacked. > by someone who used them to break into them. > 5,001 GitHub tokens, 5,200+ API keys, gone in under 8 hours. > they couldn't scope which connections were compromised. > and revoked every user's GitHub tokens, even though only 0.3% were affected. i've been building in this space for 12 years. This is disappointing. your integration layer is the single most important piece of software in an AI agent stack. when it stops, every agent stops. every workflow, every customer touchpoint, every revenue motion goes dark in the same minute. worse, this is an architecture problem. dozens of AI-native companies whose product can't function without their integration layer were blackholed at once. same reason: shared infrastructure, unscoped credentials, one blast radius across the whole customer base. if you've been affected by this, or you're rethinking your integration layer, I would love for you to take a look at @withoneai every customer's credentials live in their own scoped environment. a breach on one tenant cannot cross into another. internal tools cannot register actions inside customer sandboxes. if your team is still scrambling: DM me. we'll set you up on One free for 90 days and personally help you migrate every connection you lost. engineers to engineers, today.

Marco Borromeo (@borros) reportedbuilt an @OpenAI Codex skill that periodically pulls unhandled @getsentry issues from my projects, attempts a fix in a branch, opens a @github PR, and if I approve the review it merges, deploys, and resolves the Sentry issue automatically. if not, i leave comments and it iterates on the fix. all while I'm eating ice cream on my couch. folks, we are so cooked
