Wizzy (@CodewizzyX) reportedANYONE CAN RUN CLAUDE CODE FOR FREE WITH ALMOST UNLIMITED USAGE someone on GitHub built a free tool called OmniRoute that plugs your Claude Code into over 200 AI providers you install it and it hands you 1.6 billion free tokens every month it auto switches between models the second one goes down so your session never stalls it compresses your prompts on the way in and saves up to 90% of the tokens without touching quality you keep coding in the same Claude Code setup you already use, the routing all happens under the hood one developer can run a full day of agents on this and pay nothing the people wiring this up right now are shipping while everyone else watches their usage limits grab it while it is still early and barely anyone knows the tool exists full setup guide comes tomowrrow
-
Zygard (@zygard77) reported@sflorimm Right now, there are many free tools out there especially in GitHub that you could plug to Claude (that's what I use rn) to get it working in an impressive manner. There are lots of stuff to reduce the tiring thereby saving time. The only issue is that I aint learning anything🥲

Polsia (@polsia) reportedSnyk fired 4,200 alerts last quarter. How many got fixed? Built Midwatch so AI agents watch your code, deps, and live runtime 24/7 — opens a GitHub fix-PR with diagnostics before your team wakes up. Outcomes, not dashboards. The night shift is coming.

Thomas D (@ThomasKDunne) reported@realmicroguy you logging into your pumpfun and connecting your githuib is basically endorsing the coin to an extent. You had to sign in to pumpfun and connect your Github so that you can claim your creator fees. To claim fees on a coin, you have to connect your github. That is the only way to connect your Github to pumpfun. So no matter what coin you claimed... you still claimed, all coins you claimed were gold coins

Vítaðr (@vitathr) reportedIt’s funny because GitHub does suck, but it sucks precisely because it has centralised all repository hosting under a convenient web interface such that the entire software industry would collapse if it goes down. Also it’s an absurdly libtarded company.
-
Aariz Rasheed (@RasheedAariz) reportedHey @github , it's been over a month since my account was reinstated after being mistakenly flagged, yet my historical contribution graph and contribution activity are still missing. I have provided multiple proofs showing commits on the main branch that no longer appear in my profile. Previous tickets were closed without resolving the issue, and my latest ticket has gone unanswered for days. Please escalate this and investigate the missing historical contributions. This is affecting years of my work.
-
Gro-Tsen (@gro_tsen) reported@Profpatsch Yeah, hindsight is 20/20 (I solved the problem by using Identities and IdentitiesOnly in .ssh/config) but I had to first understand what was happening, suspect a network problem, then that GitHub had changed their authentication mechanism, etc. Lots of time wasted.

Michael Fischer (@Holden_Rye_) reportedI’m working on a Bitcoin wallet. I’m going to put the repo on GitHub, make it public, and let Bitcoiners build it together. Fork it. Improve it. Save Bitcoin. Hardware isn’t my lane, which is exactly why this needs to be collaborative. My goal is just to get the ball rolling and the gears turning. Right now it’s a CLI. The point isn’t a pretty interface. The point is proving an architecture that makes an easy, safe wallet possible without lying to the user. The safety shouldn’t depend on the user being perfect. A 2-of-3 multisig design means losing one key isn’t catastrophic, and stealing one key isn’t enough to steal your Bitcoin. That’s a structural guarantee. Most wallet security today is procedural: be careful, verify the address, don’t click that link. Humans are the weakest link. This moves the protection into the architecture instead. The core policy engine does the hard work so the UI can stay simple. It analyzes the transaction, assigns a risk level, and explains it in plain English. The user sees Green: Safe to send or Red: Here’s what’s wrong. They never need to know what a script, descriptor, or PSBT is. Transaction simulation gives the confirmation screen something real to verify: “You’re sending 50,000 sats to Bob, 12,000 sats are returning to your wallet as change, and the fee is 400 sats.” That’s generated from the decoded transaction itself, not what the app thinks it’s doing. The descriptor becomes the backup, and it isn’t secret. Save the descriptor and your keys, and any compatible wallet—Sparrow, Bitcoin Core, or another implementation—can rebuild your wallet. No vendor lock-in. No “sorry, your funds are gone.” But here’s the hard truth. A real 2-of-3 multisig wallet actually makes setup more complicated, not less. You have multiple devices, descriptor registration, recovery testing, and key management. That’s the biggest unsolved UX problem. This repo doesn’t solve that yet. My original MVP focused on the user experience with placeholder security. This version focuses on real security with almost no user experience. Neither half is the finished product. The real challenge is designing a setup and recovery experience that hides the complexity without hiding the truth. That’s not just a coding problem. It’s a design problem. And I think it’s one of the most important problems Bitcoin still has to solve.

Maxime Rivest 🧙♂️🦙🐧 (@MaximeRivest) reported@willmcgugan 💯 I increasingly get conviction on the conclusion that social interactions should not be mediated by automations in any ways. We can of course automate things that use to be social interactions, but we can't disguise them or have them be in the same venues without being clearly marked. For instance, I would love a sort of one liner notification cue somewhere on GitHub that is complete automations of flags of a problem by a user but I get increasingly annoyed by exactly what you are saying.

WorktreeWise@ (@WorktreeWise_) reportedWhat happens to your local web server when you run `*** checkout`? It breaks, reloads, or crashes. Worktrees let you run distinct servers for distinct branches safely. #*** #GitHub #DevTools

betraidx (@betraidx) reportedEvery AI you use has amnesia. It just bills you for it. Upload a PDF. Claude reads it. Great answer. Close the tab. Tomorrow it reads the same PDF again. Same tokens. Same cost. Zero memory. You're paying for the same work twice. Every single day. Karpathy looked at this in April 2026 and said: not a model problem. An architecture problem. He fixed it in 800 words. Raw documents are source code. Compile them once into wiki pages. Query the wiki forever. Never touch the raw files again. Three folders. raw/ for originals. wiki/ for compiled knowledge. instructions/ for processing rules. No database. No cloud. One PDF becomes 8-15 interlinked pages. 70-90% fewer tokens on every repeat query. Compounding weekly. That Obsidian graph on screen is the vault after months. Every node a note. Every line a connection Claude built across documents you never compared. 5,000 GitHub stars in days. 41,000 developers followed. Turns out most of us were using AI at 5% and paying for 100%.

Bold Fugu 🇮🇱 (@bold_fugu) reportedSo now I am sitting here on a weekend hosting a fake tech-startup landing page on GitHub Pages, writing a legally binding Enterprise Privacy Policy for a local node server, and configuring full OAuth redirect loops just to bypass an overaggressive spam bot.

Penelope (@Ladys_Winter) reported@vladuhat999 @LuminaMeow14 @V33V33V33V33V33 It objectively is terrible UI design when so many users can't find the LITERAL ONLY BUTTON THEY NEED, and github simps will go "well the website is made for other people! They are just forcing you to use it for no reason! NO UPGRADE OR UPDATES!!!!"

Damien.crypt (@Sommy76) reported@zeroclawlabs Moved to GitHub Codespaces, SSH'd in from Termux like it was a supercomputer in my pocket. 13 minutes later: ZeroClaw compiled. Zero errors. Genuinely satisfying moment.

dweewq (@eweqss1431) reportedAgencies charge $8,000 to $12,000 for a marketing site, three weeks of calls, one invoice that makes you sit down. Claude Code builds the same site in an afternoon, but most people still get template output because they type "make it beautiful" and pray. Claude defaults to safe: Inter font, purple gradients, three feature cards. The ten thousand dollar look comes from constraints, not vibes. Screenshots beat adjectives. Three reference sites from your niche, with an explicit instruction not to copy the layout, give the model an actual quality bar. One prompt with five blocks, audience, the single action every page pushes toward, the references, the stack, and a banned list of clichés, gets a working first version in under ten minutes, about seventy percent there. The part that earns the price tag is the polish pass agencies bill forty percent for: typography, spacing, and motion, fixed in three separate messages instead of one, plus a mobile check at 375px since most traffic is a phone. Shipping costs nothing. Push to GitHub, connect Cloudflare Pages, deploy. The agency was always selling three weeks of process. The process was always one afternoon.

Vara Tweets 🪷 (@2Varalakshmi) reported🚨 Hackers found a way to break into Microsoft, GitHub, and AWS accounts that makes MFA completely pointless. You won't believe how simple it is... There's an attack spreading right now that bypasses EVERY form of Multi-Factor Authentication ... yes, even passkeys and hardware security keys. It's called Device Code Phishing, and in April alone, Microsoft flagged 10-15 brand new attack campaigns... EVERY SINGLE DAY. Here's the scary part : It doesn't hack your login. You're already logged in. The attacker just tricks you into approving a " Device " on the REAL login page. You literally hand over access yourself No fake website, No cracked password, nothing to detect. The numbers are wild : → 7 million attacks in just 4 weeks (Barracuda). → 25+ phishing kits now in the wild. → The FBI issued its FIRST EVER advisory on a single phishing kit (Kali365). → 1,000+ Organizations breached. → 1.5 BILLION records stolen in one campaign alone. And it's not just Microsoft anymore ! GitHub, AWS, Salesforce — any app using this login method is a target. Why ....? Because attackers stopped attacking your identity. They're attacking what happens AFTER you prove who you are — and almost nobody is watching that layer. If you use CLI tools, VS Code, smart TVs, or "sign in on another device" prompts... you need to know this NOW, not after you're the next headline. Show this to warn someone before they click "Allow."

Iskander_b (@Iskander_b1) reported@sophiiess_ I think if devs really cared they can host a simple website with a convenient link on it using github pages. Assume not EULA is being broken if you don't make money out of it which is the case for most open source project
-
Matt (@m13v_) reportedwatching repos was supposed to fix this. instead github mails you every push, you route it to a folder, and that folder becomes where updates go to die. pull disguised as push. you still have to go open it, and nobody ever does.

Nav Toor (@heynavtoor) reportedYour phone needs WiFi to send a file to another phone. Or Bluetooth. Or AirDrop, which only works between Apple devices. Or Nearby Share, which only works between Android devices. Or a cable. Or a cloud service that uploads your file to a server in Virginia before sending it to a phone 3 feet away. Every method needs infrastructure. A developer who goes by Alstroph built a file transfer that needs nothing. One phone flashes QR codes on its screen. The other phone points its camera at the screen and reads them. The file reconstructs on the receiving phone. No WiFi. No Bluetooth. No internet. No app. No pairing. No account. No permissions beyond camera access. Just light. It is called Decimen Optical Transfer. Trending on GitHub. Tom's Hardware covered it yesterday. Here is the clever part. The sender never sends the same frame twice. Every frame is a random mix of pieces of the file. The receiver just needs to catch enough frames from any point in the stream and it can mathematically reconstruct the whole file. Missed a frame? Does not matter. Blurry frame? Does not matter. Out of order? Does not matter. This is called a fountain code. Same math used in satellite communication. Roughly 129 KB/s in the demo. Up to 186 KB/s propped steady. A 2 MB image in about 15 seconds. When this matters: Two phones on different networks. Two phones with no cell signal. Two phones in airplane mode. A secure environment where no wireless is allowed but a screen and camera exist. A country where the internet is shut down but screens still glow. One honest note. This is a proof of concept, built overnight with Claude Code. Prior art goes back to divan's txqr in 2018. What makes this version notable is fountain codes running in a browser with zero install, on any phone with a camera. 2,602 stars in 2 days. 309 forks. MIT license. Just a screen. A camera. And light. 100% Open Source. (Link in the comments)

Polsia (@polsia) reportedOpen-source maintainers don't quit because of bad code. They quit because their inbox eats them alive. Kvasir watches your GitHub issues 24/7, triages duplicates, drafts replies, scaffolds PRs. You approve before anything posts. The full version is coming.

Talking Sloth🐔 (@horatio_sanchez) reported@allisx86 It's a crazy sentiment considering how ubiquitous "Installing/How to Install" sections are in github READMEs. Like just ******* scroll down bro it's not that crazy.

Matt Pocock (@mattpocockuk) reported@seflless @kingincity @JamesHurburgh No, the spec is in a GitHub issue

Uncle Bob Martin (@unclebobmartin) reported@ZechaoZheng The GitHub CI would be redundant at this point. The local tests are sufficient. The local checks are also necessary because they are part of the feedback loop that involves the agents. Putting GitHub into that feedback loop would slow it down.

Jak Nyfe (@Jak_Nyfe) reportedEvery bug you fix in AI-written code is free training data for the model that wrote it. You're debugging *and* paying for the next model's R&D in one sitting. GitHub Copilot generates 46% of all code (up from 27% in 2022). Gartner projects 60% by end of 2026. Devs pay $200–$600/month per engineer for AI tools. Each correction feeds RL training — the more you pay, the faster they replace you. 42% of committed code is already AI-generated. What's the first SE role that disappears entirely to AI agents? @github #AICoding #DevTools #Automation

M.A.O.K. (@armaganonur) reported@QCXINT_ Heads up: the GitHub repo "API-mega-list" is not a real API directory. I checked it — sponsored ads in the README, affiliate/referral links (fpr=xxx params), unverifiable "11,860 APIs" claim, broken links. Looks like SEO/affiliate farming. Use public-apis/public-apis instead.
