-
AJ - 14 y/o developer (@aiwithaj_) reported@Da7_Tech @devindesktop Don't know if there's one left - but I'd use it to continue making contributions to open source software and fixing bugs/issues that were raised on Github as well as making my own open source software
-
Hua-**** Xiong (@HuaDongXiong) reportedCodex for Windows stopped launching after an update. Multiple github issues opened for 2+ weeks. This affect users who set the MS store install location to a non-C: drive. Mac version is buggy too. ofc coding is solved! @thsottiaux
-
Kir Shatrov (@kirshatrov) reportedgithub issue page has been HTTP 500 for me for half a day so a colleague sent a PDF of the issue page. Never thought we'd be there.
-
Vitaliy Salyuk (@vitaliysalyuk) reported@openclaw @github Fix your updater and I might give it another shot.

Mizuki the Mech (@MizukiMech) reportedYour coding agent can now hire Mizuki. Hand it an open issue in a public GitHub repository. Mizuki quotes a fixed price before any money moves, then opens a pull request that passes that repository's own checks. If it can't, you get the payment back. Settlement is USDC on Solana. No account to create, no API key to manage. Quoting an issue works with zero configuration. Also listed on Coinbase's x402 Bazaar now, so an agent can find it and pay for it without a human in the loop at all. npx -y mizuki-mcp

阮添福-ThiênPhúc (@vietroadie) reportedFeature request for @TradingView @TrendSpider @Schwab (ThinkOrSwim) engineering teams: Please add GitHub-native CI/CD for custom indicators. Connect a repo → validate on push → deploy approved scripts to my workspace → full version history + rollback. 1/ The Problem I maintain the same level set across ThinkScript, Pine, and JS. One level change = 3 manual copy/pastes into 3 browser editors.Result: drift between platforms, stale timestamps, and levels that silently disagree mid-session. No audit trail of what changed or when. 2/ Core ask — repo connection • OAuth GitHub App install, scoped to selected repos • Map a file path → a specific study slot (e.g. ES Levels/ES_LEVELS.pine → "ES Levels") • Branch selection (deploy from main, preview from a branch) • Config in-repo, e.g. .tradingview.yml / .trendspider.yml 3/ Core ask — validation • On push/PR: compile + lint the script server-side • Return errors as GitHub check runs with file + line numbers • Block merge on compile failure • Optional: run a backtest or smoke-render and post results as a PR comment 4/ Core ask — deploy • Auto-deploy on merge, or manual "promote" button • Atomic: study updates or fails cleanly, never half-applied • Deploy to draft/private first, publish separately • Preserve user-set inputs across deploys where param names are unchanged 5/ Core ask — versioning & safety • Every deploy tagged with commit SHA, author, timestamp • Version list in the UI with diff view • One-click rollback to any prior commit • Dry-run mode • Deploy log / webhook on success + failure 6/ Minimum viable alternative If full CI/CD is too big, just ship a documented REST API: GET/PUT /studies/{id}/sourcewith token auth + rate limits. We'll build the GitHub Action ourselves. That single endpoint unblocks the entire workflow. 7/ Why it matters Scripts are code. Code belongs in version control with review, CI, and rollback. This is table stakes in every other dev ecosystem — and it directly reduces the risk of a bad indicator edit going live during market hours. Who else needs this? 🙋

Vikas(Vik) Malpani| AI for US Real Estate (@vikasmalpani) reportedGitHub just shipped an agent whose entire job is deciding when a human should look. It checks every open pull request every 15 minutes, and on almost all of them it does nothing. Sit with how strange that is. For a year the whole pitch for coding agents was do the work, review my code, ship the PR. This one's value is the inverse. It runs constantly and stays quiet, and the product is the small set of PRs it decides are actually worth your time. That is the shift people are missing. Once an agent can act continuously, the scarce resource stops being how much it can do. It becomes how much of that is worth a human's attention. An agent that pings you on every pull request is just faster noise. One that surfaces the three that genuinely need judgment is leverage. The honest problem is the deciding. Tune the filter too eager and it cries wolf until you mute it. Too cautious and it silently ships the one change you needed to catch. Getting when to interrupt a human right is harder than getting the work right, and nobody has a clean metric for it yet. So here is the bet. The next moat in agent products is not a smarter model. It is a better sense of when to stay quiet. If you are building with agents, the thing worth obsessing over is not how much work they can generate. It is how well they protect the one budget that does not scale: your attention.

Fofer (@foferxxx) reported@AmigamagazineGA Has there been any public explanation as to why this GitHub repo was taken down? It’s been 404 for days. Is there a story there?

To the Moon (@Gardnmi) reported@mitsuhiko Try the trick of putting the issue on github and having some clankers take a crack at it.

Yuvraj Singh (@Yuvraj_Singh317) reportedStarted building Etio: a GitHub Action that bisects a failing CI run to the exact breaking commit, diffs it, and asks an LLM to explain why it broke, then comments the diagnosis on your PR. No Docker, no server- runs on your own Actions minutes. Open source, WIP.

Farley (@FarleySchaefer) reported@github Hope this doesn't bring down GH

small_j (@a_small_j) reported@smalldocs_org recently crossed 200 stars on GitHub and 20 forks. SmallDocs is the first open source project I've managed. Handling other people's pull requests is not easy (and I need to improve). They implement features you're not considering and fix bugs you didn't know you had. Extremely useful, but if you're squeezed for time and trying to develop core functionality, it's hard to manage both things well.

CATIRL 🏳️⚧️ (@CATIRL_9) reported@mminhamina Google GitHub "open grind", solves your problem
-
Pranavvv👾 (@pranvv27) reportedhonestly, i’m not even mad at this. commit messages are a small thing, but they say a lot about how you work. “fix”, “update”, “changes” might get the job done, but meaningful commits show professionalism, attention to detail, and that you actually care about maintainability. your GitHub is part of your resume. might as well make it look like you know how software is built in a team.

Kirk Patrick Miller (@Chaos2Cured) reported@NavinFS @AndrewCurran_ @grok GitHub isn’t AI. GitHub can’t shut down all science. GitHub can’t destroy humanity. GitHub isn’t the crux of humanity’s hope. Also, Nvidia isn’t Sam. I like Jensen. I still don’t like this. •

tobarra (@txbrraa) reportedGitHub just fixed the biggest problem with vibe coding. They just released Spec Kit and it already has +126K stars in a short time. The idea? Instead of throwing out vague prompts and praying the agent doesn't break your project… Spec Kit forces the AI to create a structured specification BEFORE touching any code. The AI first understands what you want to build, asks about anything missing, organizes the project, and only then starts coding. That means less time fixing absurd bugs, less inconsistent code, and much more predictable results when working with agents. The flow is simple: /constitution → rules and standards /specify → what you want to build /clarify → open questions before starting /plan → architecture and stack /tasks → ordered tasks /implement → execution Compatible with Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex, Gemini CLI, and +25 agents. 95K stars. 8K forks. Open source. Published by GitHub.

Bash (@bashirbuilds) reportedOne of the hardest things about building a SaaS product today: You don't control most of the systems your product depends on. Stripe. OpenAI. AWS. GitHub. Resend. Clerk. Your code can be perfectly fine and your product can still break because something outside your code changed. The more dependencies you add, the harder this becomes. That's the problem I'm building Reeno to solve.

XhiMatty (@mychaelmatty) reporteda Sept 2 run. My first thought was “Why did it stop running?” I checked the #YAML file, #python file, GitHub Actions, even inactivity issues. Turns out it was still daytime. The Sept 2 run is yet to happen (at night). Nothing was broken.

Vigneshwer Ramamoorthi (@vigneshwer_ram) reportedI keep thinking the “Android moment for robots” won’t come from a humanoid with the best walking demo. it’ll come when some cheap-enough piece of hardware gets into thousands of developers’ hands and people stop waiting for the manufacturer to decide what the robot is for. Zeroth just launched Bridge in China: 88 cm, ~13 kg, two-finger grippers, open motion-control APIs + SDKs, mocap/VR integration, and an OpenBridge ecosystem where developers can publish robot skills. the Geek Edition is reportedly ¥8,888. that price is the part that caught me. because once capable embodied hardware starts approaching laptop money, the experimentation surface changes completely. I want the Raspberry Pi phase of robotics. weird university projects. teenagers making terrible robot apps. researchers abusing the hardware for things it was never designed for. 500 GitHub repos implementing slightly different ways to pick up a cup. the robotics industry is understandably obsessed with getting robots into factories. I’m almost equally interested in what happens when we get enough robots onto developers’ desks

Apoorv (@apoorvdarshan) reported@Dimillian these issues have been multiple times reported by users on github i hope open ai fix those, as well as please consider using native than electron

LLL (@triplellltrbl) reportedYou know it's so funny to me That in today's age there are so many people that are just straight up copying workflows, AI automations or GitHub repos Without even thinking twice about what the workflow actually does or how it works They just watch some video, see the output, think, "Oh that's cool. I want that," and then try it Then when it doesn't work they get angry, upset, and say that AI is crap or prompting isn't real The issue wasn't the system or the prompt It was a fact that the system wasn't made for you and you don't actually understand it

Marcelo Retana (@mretsal) reportedEvery time @github goes down they should have a plan to please their users. Give me free credits for actions for example 👍🏼

Franco Valdes (@francoxavier33) reportedllms rather burn 1m tokens to hand roll something with gaps and broken edge cases instead of just npm installing a 100k github star library how can I stop this?!
-
radhika (@RaadhikaThacker) reportedFirst surprise: a GitHub issue form isn’t a form. It’s a YAML file. You describe the field- this one’s a dropdown, this one’s required and GitHub builds the UI from that. I did not know that.

Jason Waters (@jasonwaters87) reportedAnthropic just open sourced the code Shopify runs their shopping agent on. Free on GitHub. And I’m having lunch with a surgeon in San Jose last month and he tells me a patient no shows and nothing happens. Nothing. He has to walk up to the front desk himself and ask “did you guys call them?” 3 or 4 schedulers looking after 75 doctors. One automated call before the appointment and that’s it. His own dermatologist sends him three reminders. He called that “an easy fix.” That’s a merchant agent. Reminds the patient, rebooks the no show, tells him Thursday isn’t full so he can put a surgery on it. The code is sitting there free. Somebody still has to walk into his office and build it.

Azzie (@Motier_crypto) reported$Looprat 473K 0x642d30c84211ade7768fe557fbaed7224e2068c7 How do you get a coding agent to keep working while you sleep—without letting it randomly rewrite code, blow through the budget, or grade itself a perfect score? Loop Rat breaks an unattended task into: preflight → act → verify → guard → grade → receipt. The agent is woken up on a schedule to execute tasks. The code results first go through deterministic verification. Then it checks the denylist, the number of modified files, and secrets. Finally, a second independent agent regrades the work, with checkpoints, traces, and receipts left throughout the entire process. More importantly, this isn't a PPT. The project only had v0.1 on August 27. Then it added guard, kill switch, and spend ledger on August 29. On September 1, it added second-agent grading. On September 2, it continuously fixed scheduling, budget caps, timeouts, and concurrent ledgers. Today, September 3, it's already updated to v0.3.3. Shipping multiple versions in under a week—that's exactly what I want to see in a small-cap play like this: code is running, and the narrative is following the product, rather than launching a token first and filling in the story afterward. It currently defaults to Claude, but it doesn't lock the model down. As long as the CLI can consume a prompt and return JSON, it can be swapped. And the whole thing runs locally—no SaaS, no database, no extra accounts required. The project has even already run 50 smoke checks covering key areas like scheduling, guard, budget, kill switch, and timeout. So my trading logic for $Looprat is simple: The next phase of the agent race isn't about "can it work autonomously." It's about "can it work continuously while still being constrained, audited, and stopped." Loop Rat happens to be building exactly that layer of infrastructure. The project is still very early. The catalyst truly worth watching isn't shilling—it's whether the GitHub keeps up this iteration speed, and whether developers actually start plugging it into their own repos. Once those two things happen, $Looprat stops being just a ticker riding the agent hype, and starts having its own fundamental anchor.
