  @rohanpaul_ai I think the solution is simple - instead of 1 commit for every feature - do 1 commit for a bunch of related features. And the reason is not just Github load, but the cognitive load on each developer. With AI doing most of the heavy lifting, its cognitively easier to just club multiple related features together and then do a batch commit. But I wouldn't move out of Github for this. Github can easily enforce a 'cost' on each commit and fix this.

  @futabooo Login friction is a real blocker. → We run as a GitHub App, install once, fires on every push. Nothing to log into, nothing to stay logged out of.

  @wiz_io @github This wording is misleading. GitHub-scale “RCE via single *** push affecting millions of repos” would be a platform-wide incident with an official disclosure. Likely this refers to a scoped CI/workflow or permission boundary issue, not global repo access. #infosec #cybersecurity

  a markdown file named HERMES.md (uppercase) in your *** history can flip claude code off the $200 max plan onto metered API rates. case-sensitive — lowercase hermes.md is fine. github user sasha-id (gh issue 53262) burned $200.98 in overage while 86% of his weekly plan quota was still sitting there unused. claude code feeds recent commits into the system prompt, and the server-side classifier reads the uppercase filename as a third-party harness signal (Hermes Agent uses that exact context filename) and quietly reroutes you to metered. issue is closed, probably patched. on a flat plan, what else in a repo can silently trip the meter?

  "GitHub's scale is unprecedented." No, it really isn't. GitHub: 150M total users. Office 365: 345M total users. Xbox: 500M monthly active users. Bing: 100M+ daily active users. The company that runs Office, Xbox and Bing can run GitHub. If reliability is slipping, that's a priorities problem, not a scale problem.

  @bcardarella the other killer feature of github was that it got rid of the need to roll your own ssh keys auth for your *** server. no open source alternatives back then or even today. come to think of it, maybe we're only a few features away from a decentralized *** renaissance.

  @KainYusanagi @xatzimi1 @ShitpostRock2 this is exactly the problem, too many github pages dont put out releases and you have to do some other bullshit to download them

  Fei (@FeiHiMakd) reported 19 minutes ago

  @Existsindeath @ShitpostRock2 It used to take me a minute to find it. The interface on Github is a little unintuitive in places, but it's not really an issue if you take a second to actually look at it.

  Shawn Fumo (@ShawnFumo) reported 20 minutes ago

  @mlitwiniuk @theo At least this one has the better error message of third-party apps. The detection might just be them implementing it poorly. I saw in the changelog that for a while it was reporting github (through gh) had a rate limit error if your commit message mentioned rate limits.

  I probably over-engineered this, but psyched it's working 🥳 given some of the Github issues, I moved some of my CI workflows to a self-hosted runner via Azure DevOps it's a computer inside my lab, that auto sleeps when it's not needed. PRs wake it up via WOL, it goes back to sleep when done

  I thought Claude Code was off-limits without a paid plan. Then I found a GitHub repo with 3,000+ stars that changed everything. A developer named Alishahryar1 built a local proxy server. It sits between Claude Code and the internet. When Claude Code tries to reach Anthropic's servers — the proxy intercepts it and silently reroutes it to free providers instead. Claude Code never notices. It just works. Models like Kimi K2.5 and DeepSeek R1 are handling real coding tasks through this setup. The repo has 500+ commits, a full test suite, and an active contributor community. This isn't a workaround. It's a real tool built by real developers solving a real problem. Save this post, you'll thank yourself the day you finally set it up. Want the SOP? DM me💬

  HashiCorp's co-founder says GitHub is no longer a place for serious work. I get it. Pull requests sit for weeks. Discussions go nowhere. Issues pile up. But the alternative isn't obvious. What platform actually lets you ship faster?

  @mitsuhiko @mitchellh > Regardless of whether GitHub is here to stay or projects find new homes, what I would like to see is some public, boring, well-funded archive for Open Source software. hate to be canceled for using the C word but what do you think about doing this storage "on chain" which would somewhat solve its own funding problems? looking for something that solves both the funding and decentralization issue, unfortunately this is the only model that is proven to work

  @phouses_s @warpdotdev Hey Paco, I'm sorry that you are experiencing this. Can you file a github issue and tag @kevinchevalier ? I will need some more information about your setup and how you are using Warp.

  mitchell hashimoto is pulling ghostty off github after 18 years on the platform because outages are blocking his work nearly every day. this hit 3,400 points on hacker news, zed 1.0 launched the same week, a github RCE vulnerability got disclosed, and a thread about "federation of forges" pulled 348 comments. the vibes have shifted from "github is the default" to "what replaces github" in a way that feels structurally different from the usual complaints. the hashicorp co-founder saying github is "no longer a place for serious work" carries weight that a random blog post doesn't. the problem is nobody has a complete replacement yet. you can move your *** hosting to codeberg or gitea in an afternoon, but replacing actions, copilot integration, issue tracking network effects, and the social graph is a multi-year project. hashimoto hasn't even announced where ghostty is going, which tells you the alternatives aren't ready.

  GitHub had one job: be ***. The April 23 Merge Queue bug rewrote history. Production code vanished. UI said all good. That’s a trust issue. If your workflow depends on one platform, what happens when it fails silently?

  @bunnyauras the problem with this criticism is that they incorrectly assume that the most important traffic to a github project page is from end users looking to download a release. i'm pretty sure that's not even the highest *volume* traffic source for most projects

  Lightweight tech that actually ships! You don’t need a PhD or a server farm. $STYXX works with just nine simple numbers pulled from the text stream. It spots hidden patterns better than models 50 million times its size — and it’s open-source on GitHub. Pip install and you’re live. They’re already testing the same math on real human brain signals (cheap EEG headsets). If it clicks, it could read basic cognitive states from people too — honesty, focus, whatever. Straightforward tech that solves real problems today. (3/5) #AI #CognitiveTech

  @sudoingX The Github Copilot Pro Plus runs will be sorely missed. Have been full timing fine tuning my Hermes setup since. Context and project level focus and are often more important than bench scores. It's a constant dance as you know but have enjoyed the challenge of maxing out a Ryzen 9 6900x w AMD 680m 32 GB GPU LPDDR5. The idea is to have a backpackable, low power consumption agent that can run off of external batteries on low power settings. I have the 3.6 27b q4 KXL running really well offline but i often use my swarming/QMD 3.5 9b often too, does really well. GTT opened up the rest of my GPU for LLM inference recently so it opened the door the the XL Q4. I run the q4 as oracle when my 9b agents (Trinity and Morpheus) need assistance. They do a automatized handoff of ports so that the models dont run at same time and leave GPU optimal. The handoff lets them call up Oracle at will and then Oracle passes back to them and shuts herself down after she updates the passdown with her conclusions. This system lets me run everything offline on my mini pc, no external gpu.

  @AlexGonchX lol this is the stuff nobody talks about. my agents do weird time-blind things all the time. like responding to month-old github issues or treating cached data like breaking news

  i think the entire “copilot” brand is a bit broken now. microsoft have managed to turn people away from windows, away from github, and now away from copilot. clearly copiloting is not an llm strength. attendant would be a better perspective.

  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)

  The magic? "Oz agents" that can triage issues, write specs, implement code changes, and even review PRs, right inside your terminal workflow. No more constant context switching between terminal, IDE, GitHub, and ChatGPT. It feels like the terminal finally grew up and hired a team of AI interns that actually ship.
