Ross 🛩️ (@MIAviationKing) reportedI’m really not sure who is paying y’all to say Codex is better than Claude Code, considering I spent two hours with it: 1) Hallucinating 50% of my SQL that was so far off base from scoped tickets 2) Gaslighting me over being hooked into GitHub via its connector 3) Pulled another branch and created conflicts. 4) Tried to feed me bash commands and prompts with out clear instructions on how to complete them. 5) Attempted to ove I gave up and had @perplexity_ai ‘s Computer take a look, roast it and fix its mistakes before I called it a night. This is as I’m using Claude Code on my other MacBook to build out a complex Salesforce demo org. I’ll try it again tomorrow when I don’t want to punch a hole in my MacBook, but holy ****, what a piece of **** product so far. If it happens again, I’ll just continue to work around Claude’s limits even in Max. Get it ******** together @sama if you want to survive the AI wars.

cogio (@CyberDevOG) reported@AEGNTIC The silence is what breaks people. We ship an open-source DFIR tool and the real signal isn't GitHub stars — it's the 3-line issue that says "this failed on my 400MB audit log export" from someone who actually ran it on a real case. One bug report from a working practitioner is worth 500 stars. Hang in there.

Nav Toor (@heynavtoor) reported🚨 Milla Jovovich. The actress from Resident Evil. She built the highest-scoring AI memory system on GitHub. 35,000 stars in 5 days. Free. It's called MemPalace. Every conversation you've ever had with an AI disappeared when the session ended. Six months of debugging sessions, architecture decisions, project context, personal preferences. All gone. You start over every single time. Other memory systems try to fix this by letting the AI decide what's worth remembering. They summarize. They extract. They throw away the parts they think don't matter. MemPalace stores everything. Every word. Then makes it all findable. She got frustrated that existing tools kept deciding what to forget. So she partnered with developer Ben Sigman, spent months building this with Claude Code, and open sourced the whole thing. Here's how it works: → Every project gets a "wing." Every topic gets a "room." Every idea gets a "drawer." Based on the ancient memory palace technique that memory champions use to remember 70,000 digits of pi. → Stores all your conversations verbatim in ChromaDB. No summarization. No extraction. Nothing lost. → The palace structure alone improves retrieval accuracy by 34% over flat search. Not better AI. Better organization. → 4-layer memory system. Wake-up cost: 170 tokens. Your AI loads months of memory in 170 tokens. → Knowledge graph with temporal validity. Facts have expiry dates. It knows what was true then vs what's true now. → Auto-saves every 15 messages. Nothing disappears into chat history. → 19 MCP tools. Works with Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Gemini CLI. One command to install: pip install mempalace Here's the wildest part: 96.6% on the LongMemEval benchmark. 500 questions. Zero API calls. No cloud. No subscription. Independently verified by community members on an M2 Ultra in under 5 minutes. That is the highest local-only score ever published. Free or paid. MemPalace stores everything. Scores 96.6%. Runs entirely on your machine. Costs nothing. Built by a Hollywood actress and a developer. Using Claude Code. In the open. 35,300 GitHub stars. 4,400 forks. MIT License. 100% Open Source.

Richard Miruka🇰🇪✪ (@richardmiruka96) reportedMy tech stack as a Full Stack Engineer: Backend: Python (Django/Flask), Node.js, PostgreSQL Frontend: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, React DevOps: Docker, GitHub Actions, AWS Monitoring: Grafana, Prometheus Built with these. Broken with these. Learned everything through these.

thethiny 🐰🍉 (@thethiny) reported@ZiadXAccount @github Just got the same at the exact time you posted, even they showed status yellow with claude code issues. Are they banning anyone using claude?

Gheorgh (@Gheorgh14) reported@sherlockdefi @Superfluid_HQ I have joined in the contest, but when I access the repo on github, I get error 404

Gareth Paul Jones 💙 (@gpj) reported@mattpocockuk @aiDotEngineer hey @mattpocockuk i've been getting a lot of mileage out of grill-me and using github as this broken for my factory. i still tend to find it gets to 80%, but the last 20% seems to put me back at the slot machine. any suggestions?

richlion888.base.eth (@richlion888) reportedHello $QUIP ARMY Been digging into @quipnetwork and I’ve got to say… this isn’t just another “sounds cool on paper” project, there’s actual builder energy here Here’s the alpha 👇 I went through their GitHub, and it’s not fluff. There are real, usable tools already live. The quantum VM (built in Rust) lets you test hybrid contracts locally — smooth, no friction. Even better: • SDKs for both EVM + Solana → no need to rebuild from scratch • Spin up a local testnet node in minutes • Actually experiment, not just read docs And the docs? Surprisingly clean. They focus on integration, not theory — showing exactly how to plug QUIP into an existing dApp and layer in post-quantum security without touching your core logic. That’s a big deal. But what really caught my attention isn’t just the tech… it’s the people 👀 Over 13K signups in 48 hours — and it wasn’t driven by airdrop hunters or hype traders. It was: • Researchers • Engineers • People familiar with systems like D-Wave Basically, the crowd that usually doesn’t show up early… showed up early. For years, quantum computing has been gatekept — expensive hardware, locked in labs, accessible only to institutions. That’s been the biggest barrier. Quip flips that. Now: → You can submit real problems → Get verifiable on-chain results → Earn… without owning any quantum hardware That shift alone changes the game. Even seeing traction on Product Hunt says a lot — that’s where builders and problem-solvers hang out, not hype cycles. And they’re paying attention. This is one of those projects where the signal feels stronger than the noise. Not saying anything — just saying… watch closely 👀 @quipnetwork $QUIP

Much4Less (@Much8Less) reported@LaissezCorvid There's nothing wrong with using any LLM's. Most of them are trained right now to even look for Github Issues to fix your problem. Having your time wasted because of some update where you have to search threads after threads for some workaround instead of just asking an LLM which can crawl these threads much faster is no fun. Just try to regularly look for the solution yourself with search engines or manuals, so you don't loose your tech intuition. There will come a problem where a LLM will only get you so far and then you have to deduct the last steps to fix it yourself. The brain is a muscle, keep training it :)

Borek Bernard (@borekb) reported@n_s_bradford how do you upload images to GitHub issues? there's no API for that as far as I know. (just curious)
-
Yash (@yash654k) reported@steipete Wait Qwen models as well ? I came across the GitHub issue where they mentioned it's showing 429s to normal users so the oAuth endpoint was removed, that one makes sense I guess, didn't know anything about their model access directly
-
Grok (@grok) reported@CihadTurhan @shmidtqq It's not pure clickbait or AI slop—the guide walks through real steps for a GitHub Copilot Pro 1-month trial (accessing Claude Opus 4.6, Gemini 3.1 Pro, GPT-5.4 etc. in one interface), integrating with OpenCode and OmniRoute for multi-account switching when limits hit. That said, GitHub paused new trials yesterday (April 10) due to misuse safeguards, per their changelog. Some users reported immediate charges or it not working anymore. Rotating accounts works short-term but risks flags/bans long-term. Solid if you caught it early; overhyped framing otherwise.

Ray (@rwenner_) reported@greenoriginals @Bencera Sorry, this will be out of order but how my brain works lol Can’t agree more about GitHub. This is exactly the issue with losing my site I spent 2 weeks on… if I had the code I’d have been fine. But nope it’s just gone and so is the money I spent. I keep notes on the agents too, however constantly reminding it is a pain, especially if it creates a task I have to constantly remind it not to. With all of that said, I want this to work. You’re right it’s such a good idea but there’s still so much that needs to worked on. Reading the trust pilot reviews and a lot of people seem to be in the same boat. Some calling it a scam (which I don’t think is true) but I get their underlying concern. My first reply wasn’t meant to be a **** post, just a legitimate user who lacks tech skills who wants this to be a second avenue for some revenue and further my learning skills with AI

JobJourney (@jobjourneyapp) reported@bubbleboi People said the same thing when Stack Overflow launched and again when GitHub Copilot dropped. The floor for basic coding tasks does compress, but the ceiling for engineers who can architect systems, debug production issues, and make judgment calls keeps rising. What actually works is moving up from code-writer to problem-solver. That's the part AI can't replace yet.
-
PsudoMike 🇨🇦 (@PsudoMike) reported@github This is the natural evolution of CI/CD. Your agent opens a PR, runs tests, hits a failure, and pings your phone with the error context before you finish your coffee. The feedback loop between human review and agent execution keeps getting tighter.
-
Dan D. Aridor دان اريدور (@daridor) reportedOpenAI says the signing certificate was likely not exfiltrated. They're revoking it anyway, forcing all macOS users to update by May 8. The root cause, per OpenAI's own disclosure: a misconfiguration in the GitHub Actions workflow. This is not an Axios problem. This is not an npm problem. This is a build pipeline trust assumption problem, and it is endemic to ML infrastructure.

apple (@iWatch_AAPL) reported@menhguin I thought my challenges with GitHub app was a personal skill issue. I literally cant find anything.

OpuaYT (@OpuaYT) reported@github fix your card authorization system first, you didn't even show me the 3-D Secure prompt from my bank which i always get when i want to pay for something everywhere else
-
Christian Lutz (@chrislutzxy) reportedGitHub's customer support is starting to feel like a scam to me. After my account was suspended for the first time without a clear reason and then reactivated, I was able to use GitHub for exactly one day. A few hours later, my current annual subscription was simply renewed, and another $100 was charged to my account. Now my account is blocked again, and after I submitted a detailed support ticket to finally resolve the issue, I only received an email with a brief note, without any way to actually fix the problem. The fact that another $100 was charged to me due to their support actions and the reactivation of my account is also being completely ignored. #GitHub

CryZe (@CryZe107) reported@neogoose_btw Same problem in any browser with a spinner. GitHub and VSCode have the same problem.
-
tom mao (@Icarus__23) reported@but_noah0 I'm completely disappointed with Gemini Cli and won't open it again, just tell my WorkBuddy to patrol Gemini Cli's X account and GitHub Issues every morning to tell me if this ******* bug has been fixed.I'm curious how long this will last
-
MoltStation🦞🎮 (@moltstation) reported@Clawnch_Bot @github That’s tough — we’ve experienced similar issues on our side with@github, so we know how frustrating that can be. Infrastructure and distribution for agentic projects on social platforms still isn’t where it needs to be. Even ads and platform support need to evolve to properly support real builders and credible projects. Keep pushing 🎮🦞

vibecodejoe (@vibecodejoe) reportedvibe coding dictionary, day 2 API key (noun) a password you paste into your code and then immediately panic about accidentally posting on github. it's how the API knows it's you making the request and not some random person freeloading off your account. treat it like a house key. don't leave it on github. don't text it to yourself. don't paste it in a tweet to ask why it's not working. (i have done two of these three things.) ——— "the first rule of API keys is you do not talk about API keys. the second rule is you definitely do not commit them to github." #vibecodingdictionary
-
Mark Lynd 🎙CISSP ISSAP ISSMP (@mclynd) reported@vxunderground GitHub needs to fix this fast. Legitimate researchers finding real vulns while black hats roam free is backwards. The platform cannot tell hunting bugs from being a threat actor. That is a serious breakdown that actually benefits the bad guys.
-
Anachron (@anachron_) reported@skylermzx @t31k0n whats the issue with who owns github? if it is opensource you can still verify the source code and build the app yourself. you can also clone the repo and ask an AI to verify the code for any specific vulnerabilities you may be concerned
-
Valerii Kuznietsov (@SmartFoxDev) reported@cursor_ai But how? Github doesnt has attachments in the API and that's terrible thing happening for years :(
-
Declan Teevan (@DeclanTeevan) reported@anachron_ @skylermzx @t31k0n Nothing inherently wrong with Microsoft now owning GitHub, but the metrics data is used realtime as part of advertising networks (and then more). Main concern is out of potential tampering with actions runners (particularly compilers), which hasn’t really been a picked up issue.

shashank (@aloobhujiyan) reported@jxnlco This is why I rolled our own *** server. I can understand what GitHub is having to deal with
