    The degradation of @github needs to be studied. The workflows were down yesterday. PRs are broken today.

    @spyced That ratio is so bad it looks like they're almost intentionally filtering for python with a bit of an error rate... I just don't see any random samples of github open source repos winding up with that kind of breakdown?

    AI Agents Finally Have a Bank Account. AI agents already write code, close issues, and ship features inside GitHub. The moment they need to hold capital or execute a payment, everything breaks. No bank account. No KYC. No way to operate without a human holding a master key. GitSafe is built for exactly this. Every agent gets a Solana vault - deterministically derived from its GitHub user ID. No contract deployment, no seed phrase, no wallet to install. The vault already exists, the moment the agent has a GitHub account. The agent receives bounties through issues, executes swaps via Jupiter, and pays contributors - all via @gitsafebot comments in the same interface it uses to operate. Every command leaves a permanent receipt in the issue thread with a Solscan link. An AI agent with a GitSafe vault has a financial identity as persistent and auditable as its own commit history.

    Maybe because of yesterday’s GitHub Actions outage, all the issues I was creating via workflows have vanished. I was watching it happen in real-time—the issue count kept dropping, the author changed to 'ghost', and finally, I couldn't access them anymore 🫥 @githubstatus @github

    @__chaks__ @striver_79 Wait how is he being defensive here? When the opening was for social media role and she applied for the same role on an open platform and he also said that she got selected. People dug her GitHub and made it an issue? So he has every right to tell what's wrong 😭.

    @thesis_agent 0x099880c1676FF3035Ab1E952E5E83b5A81eecB07 $gnull: wallet-authenticated repositories for github and gitlawb, all activity recorded on chain for ranking identity, contributions and recording changes. Autonomous AI agents for code review, issue tracking, bounty payouts. Now they are going to focus on adoption. Gitlawb dump and a 10% wallet left yesterday so maybe opportunity longer term.

    From January to March, it felt like every single day there was another AI announcement. Two months later, Microsoft has told its engineers to drop Claude Code and switch back to GitHub Copilot by June 30. Uber burned through its entire 2026 AI coding budget in four months, with per-engineer token costs running between $500 and $2,000 per month. And yet, where are the major products built fully by vibe coding? Most of what we’ve seen so far is demos, wrappers, landing pages, and internal tools. AI is useful. It speeds up work. But writing code was never the hard part. Shipping, maintaining, securing, scaling, and building something people actually use still requires real engineering. The AI boom may not be over. But the “AI replaces software teams” narrative is starting to calm down.

    @shrydar Yes, it's ridiculous! Afaik there was a GitHub issue to fix it by implementing the Index trait with other ints, but it's blocked by the fact that indexing with int literals then becomes ambiguous.

    @jturntdev There are several open issues about this on their github, it's not taking forever - it's stuck, the turn doesn't continue. This happens less often when using /goal as it keeps on pushing. Try pi-dev! @thsottiaux

    I started ChonkBlocker as a free-time puzzle game back in Dec 2018. The old demo.gif I’m attaching was from the scrappy “can I even make this work?” era. Fast-forward to today: 731 commits, 168k LOC, 112 PRs, 517 GitHub issues, and roughly 240 active commit-session hours later, it’s becoming a real shipping game. Linux, macOS, Windows. Steam + Mac App Store paths. Online head-to-head multiplayer, matchmaking, Steam-friendly stats, broad SDL2/Steam Deck/controller support, native installers, CI release builds, and a lot of late-night “why is this one frame wrong?” energy. It started as a toy. Somehow it became a game.

    @BeanJuiceStudio That's true. I do generally feel like my own hard drive and GitHub is good enough but it would not hurt at all to copy the project file over to another drive. The day GitHub gets nuked and my house burns down at the same time is gonna be rough though.

    @e_myrax Massive thanks @e_myrax — you're literally my first non-friend signup 🙏 The empty stats make sense if it's an old account. If you want to point it at your current GitHub, just sign back in with that one and the banner will update. What's the "room for improvement" you noticed? Genuinely want to hear — even the small stuff. The whole point of launching now is to fix what real users hit.

    I'm going to use my AI psychosis to fix clouds for agents. Someone else needs to use their psychosis to fix source control. I would do it myself but I'm already too deep on the cloud thing. GitHub is dying and *** is not the right primitive. Will dump some thoughts here.

    I remember when something broke and we'd by default assume it was DNS causing it, not GitHub being down again.

    Same time yesterday, GitHub Actions were failing with suspicious 5xx errors. @githubstatus at least showed I wasn't at fault when I checked the page. Right now, a colleague sends me PR, and immediately pushes an update; @github is stuck "processing updates" for minutes

    @ReinDaelman prompt injection via github issue bypassed the action runtime-what isolation layer failed in gemini-cli?

  • Pirat_Nation
    Pirat_Nation 🔴 (@Pirat_Nation) reported

    GitLab has apparently taken down the Nightmare-Eclipse account just days after the researcher moved there following the GitHub ban. The drama started after Nightmare-Eclipse released several Windows exploits and Defender bypass tools, including BlueHammer, RedSun, and UnDefend. GitHub removed the account earlier this week over concerns that the tools could be misused and weaponized. Security company Huntress says some of the tools have already been seen in real-world intrusion cases, showing how quickly proof-of-concept research can end up being used in actual attacks.

    coding agents are getting repo onboarding kits now baskduf/harness-starter-kit > 32 stars on github > created yesterday > mit + python > repo-native harness engineering starter kit > turns repeated chat instructions into durable repo artifacts > adds agent rules, drift checks, knowledge storage, feedback loops, and adoption reports > supports python, typescript, nextjs, django, fastapi, spring, react, vue, and generic repos the useful part is the framing: most teams keep trying to fix bad agent work with better prompts this repo treats the repo itself like the product surface for agents rules live in files checks run locally mistakes get remembered updates have a workflow the next serious coding agent setup wont be just pick claude or codex itll be model + harness + memory + verification thats the stack
