  @profstonge If 90% of software engineers don't know how to code, you'll get a rise it GitHub commits just to fix the mistakes of those "software engineers". JS

  @ubuto23 true but show business is never going to be some kind of meritocracy. im sure this will usher in a new age of 10,000 terrible indie horror films each based on some github page or neopets screenshot, but in the meantime people seem to be enjoying it so i think its not too bad

  You didn't write any code today. Another empty repository. Another broken streak. Soft task managers don't work because there is no consequence for failing. So I built one with a consequence. Vigilante OS links to your GitHub. Set a daily commit target. If you miss it by midnight, you lose ₹100. Code before the deadline or pay the penalty. Stop lying to yourself and resume your consistency.

  if it were Uber i'd put this down to malicious dark patterns but for @github it's probably just ux incompetence

  5/5 $DOT is 97% down from ATH of $55 New supply cap ✅ JAM supercomputer ✅ Cheaper staking ✅ Leading GitHub commits ✅ Still under $1.50. This is either the opportunity of the cycle or a lesson. I know which one I'm betting on. 🫡 #HODL #Polkadot

  Milla Jovovich saved the world in The Fifth Element. This year, the internet thought she had found the Sixth. It was called MemPalace. A celebrity-backed AI memory project that exploded across GitHub, spawned a memecoin, and convinced thousands of people that persistent AI memory had finally arrived. Then researchers looked closer. The benchmarks were allegedly manipulated. Features were overstated. The codebase didn't match the story. Turns out the Sixth Element wasn't memory. It was hype. But the most interesting part is that the problem MemPalace was selling into is real. Millions of people still open ChatGPT every day and re-explain who they are, what they do, and what they're trying to accomplish. The product may have been fake. The gap isn't. That's why I think the AI industry is misunderstanding memory. Memory isn't the moat. The moat is everything built around it.

  @Crypto_hedyEth most people are wasting time searching for quality ai resources because they don't know where to look. this github repo has 13 free AI books, no fluff, just content. the real problem is that nobody teaches you how to evaluate the signal from the noise when it comes to online

  2/8 The idea started with a problem I had actually faced myself. After graduating, I lost access to my university materials. Course notes. Assignments. Everything. The only thing left was the project work I had pushed to GitHub. That became the starting point.

  The messy parts taught me the most: - GitHub branches - `.env` files - API key safety - missing variables - Python indentation errors - running Streamlit locally

  @sdhilip It worked very well when assigning Github Issues to Copilot agent. Now I will use Cursor. What do you use?

  @boristane I use GitHub issues with projects. Yes, everything goes to “done” but lots of additional information is added to the comments. Or I will reopen if things were not done right

  Nils Haberkamp (@n_haberkamp) reported 35 minutes ago

  @dreamsofcode_io yep, esp the review bot. GitHub Copilot been really good atm, finds a lot of cases you've did not think of or that affect other parts of the codebase you didn't know existed. re: comprehension, probably because the act of writing is the act of thinking. The same as I don't expect great novel thinking / problem solving outside of tech to be done by llms (may age like milk)

  @DavidKPiano @peterpme question, I remember trying and reading a issue on the github 1year ago but are people using tanstack query + xstate? how are they doing it? I really wanted to do this some time ago, but was very tricky

  I don't understand why sometimes GitHub randomly serves incredibly slow downloads. It just took me 1 minute to download a 10MB file but right before that I downloaded a 48MB file in 1 second

  Mark Atwood (@_Mark_Atwood) reported 46 minutes ago

  I rather like being able to say "commit, fork, file the issue, and pr it". The ai knows to create a feature or fix branch, batches the commits logically, writes good commit messages, knows the upstream, has gh cli access to my github account, creates good prs. If the project has a pre pr or pre commit process, it does it. And is far more polite than I am.

  Real-world prompt injection is now hitting GitHub issues. Agents read those surfaces by default. The payload lives in a document the agent was built to trust, not in the prompt itself. Governance at the infrastructure layer is the only reliable fix.

  Andrej Karpathy just dropped 4 rules for Claude Code. 🤯 A developer turned them into a single CLAUDE.md file, dropped it in his project root, and watched his coding accuracy jump from 65% to 94%. The file hit #1 on GitHub trending. Here's the problem it solves first. Claude Code starts every session blank. No memory of your stack, your past decisions, what you ruled out last week, or why you picked one tool over another. So it guesses. Refactors files you didn't ask it to touch. Suggests tools that break your architecture. You end up re-explaining the same context every single session. CLAUDE.md fixes that. It's a plain text file Claude Code reads at the start of every session. These are the 4 rules Karpathy says to put inside it: 1. Ask, don't assume. If something is unclear, ask before writing a single line. No silent assumptions about intent, architecture, or requirements. 2. Simplest solution first. Always implement the simplest thing that could work. No abstractions or flexibility you didn't ask for. 3. Don't touch unrelated code. If a file or function isn't part of the current task, don't modify it. Even if it could be improved. 4. Flag uncertainty explicitly. If you're not confident about an approach, say so before proceeding. Confidence without certainty causes more damage than admitting a gap. That's it. Four rules. One file. 30 points of accuracy. While everyone is chasing the next AI model, the real edge is in how you instruct the one you already have. I drop stuff like this daily in my free WhatsApp community. Link in bio.

  GitHub Copilot switched to credit-based pricing today. Users are reporting $38 → $847 bills for the same usage. The real issue isn't token prices — it's that agent mode fires Opus-tier reasoning at every task. Tab completions, test generation, simple refactors. Same expensive pipeline. I tracked my AI coding usage for a month: • 60% of requests = boilerplate (Sonnet handles fine) • 20% = tests/docs (Flash at 1/20th the cost) • Only 15% actually needed heavy reasoning Matching model to task complexity → 70% cheaper than one-size-fits-all. Wrote up the full breakdown with actual numbers 👇

  @jerryjliu0 Yes this is a crazy interface. And why do they have subtly different strengths. Cowork has projects and a local VM sandbox, Code has routines running locally. Chat and Code have local access. And why doesn’t the app have a GitHub connector? And why is dispatch not working properly? And how does remote sessions really work?

• 
  Sahib (@trader_sahib) reported 55 minutes ago

  @ThorChainz Thanks, from my view gitlab may not necessarily have the same issues GitHub has, and not worried about the margin because judging by how heavily Agentic is used, I think credit usage should be substantially up, or will be guided up based on what they are seeing

  @happyadam73 @github mate they announced this pretty clearly that they were effectively shutting down copilot. it's just an API prices router now - may as well just use whatever you like + openrouter as use it now.

  @thsottiaux Using Codex on WSL, if Codex is installed in a non C: drive, it just crashes when you open it, its been like this since launch, was never fixed and the github issue has been open for sooooo long.

  @onusoz @besssaleli I'm so glad Onur got reinstated so fast. Slightly makes me sad though that in order to get GitHub to help you have to have a sizeable enough Twitter following to get attention. Raz is out of commission for weeks with no helping. Helplessness is one of the worst feelings. Speaking from my own parallel experience from last week when Railway had their huge outage and there was nothing I could do to bring my service back up for our users

  @thesightsmith @RobertHult_ @tomfgoodwin Do you have any GitHub page where I can download a working agent harness you have proved to solve all the issues raised or you just here typing what you know isn’t really working. Because of AI psychosis?
