    4/ Here's the actual fix: *** config --global commit.cleanup strip before committing. This removes Co-Authored-By headers from your commits before they land on GitHub. Or use a local pre-commit hook. Either way, you're asserting ownership of your own code.

    5. Failure handling No failure handling. The developer hits the most common error, the one you've seen a hundred times, and finds nothing. They open a GitHub issue. Or they leave.

    @ItsAlexhere0 . Claude - the trial version . Codex - can get a saas up . Cursor - don't use opus . Antigravity - they're still around? . GitHub Copilot - is it down?

    After 10 years, I finally shut down my GitHub account. I'd been paying $120 a year for a secure remote location to store my code, but over the last year it's become unstable. When I went to create a simple wiki so I could access my Markdown files, they forced me to make the repository public — keeping it private would have cost an extra $50 a year. There's an adage in integration work: you inherit all the problems of the system you're integrating with. So I moved everything over to GitLab and haven't looked back. Then Friday, I deleted everything on GitHub and canceled it all. I'm a solo game developer — I just need something that works. I don't need all these problems they're dealing with. Whether it's AI or just lazy coding, it doesn't matter; I can't afford the nonsense. Good luck to those who are staying.

    The “what language should I learn next?” The question shows up a lot. Every week, someone asks: Should I learn Go or Rust next? Is Bun worth it? Should I pick up Elixir? Then you check their Github. 4 incomplete projects. It’s pattern The truth nobody likes hearing : Senior backend engineers don’t get hired for the languages on their resume. They get hired for systems they’ve actually shipped. A finished, deployed app beats five tutorial repos. Even if it’s small. Even if it’s messy. Even if three people use it. Because once real users touch it, things change. Something breaks. Something is slower than expected. Something behaves differently in production. That’s where the real learning starts. Pick the language you already half-know. Build something real. Put users on it. Watch what breaks. Fix it. Then your “should i learn X next?” question has an answer. Because you’ll know exactly what your current stack can’t do.

    @Zinny_Edmund I think if we do this while pushing to github and generated *** diffs might get extra large due to the audio comments wont that be an issue? As ig github has limited size allowed ! Correct me if i am wrong!

    @RootBsd I need to thoroughly test ReBuzz, pinpoint the cause of the crash, and report the issue to the ReBuzz repository on GitHub. For some reason, I'm afraid to use GitHub seriously. No good, I'm getting tired and my brain isn't working properly. I need to eat something.

    AI tools like Claude Code and GitHub Copilot are cool, but let's not act like they're the second coming. They're incremental, not revolutionary. Code is still written by humans, with AI just being a fancy autocomplete. The hype misses the real issue: it's not about more tools, but smarter usage. If devs don't understand the fundamentals, no tool's gonna fix that. It's skills, not shortcuts, that make great engineers. #AIForDevs #CodeSmart

    It's so annoying that devs think I'm one of them. No I'm not a nerd. Yes I have a GitHub. And a server. And local models running on my machine. And a bitcoin node. Why do you ask?

    @thomasglopes @code_department @github This isn't what the original ask was. Now you are showing your cards, you are complecting logic with display. If you don't see the difference then not much to talk about. Your components should be webcomponents, this has nothing to do with the root issue

  • mrlemoos
    Leo - mrlemoos.dev (@mrlemoos) reported

    @AnthonyPoschen @thdxr The central point of my argument is that moving away from GitHub is not enough to escalate the change for GitHub to become something more FOSS-focused/developer-first (unless Microsoft itself actively helps them do so). Atlassian never really changed their infra or UX, and people still use Jira and Confluence despite their archaic apps. In large companies, if the problem is performance (as the recent GitHub issues hinted at & seemed to be), they default to vertical scale.

  • IamRealManish
    Manish Kukreja (@IamRealManish) reported

    @peer_rich Correct. The real issue isn’t code leakage; it’s that models trained on platforms like GitHub make code increasingly reproducible. Security and advantage both get weaker.

    Apple was irrelevant in AI for years. One open-source project accidentally changed that — and now they can't build Macs fast enough. Here's what happened: OpenClaw — an AI agent framework with 323K+ GitHub stars — needs a machine that can run large models locally. Turns out Apple Silicon is perfect for this. The Mac mini's unified memory lets CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine share the same RAM pool. A $599 Mac mini with 64GB can run 70B parameter models that an $1,800 NVIDIA RTX 5090 physically can't touch. Result? Mac mini and Mac Studio are sold out. Tim Cook told analysts it may take "several months" to catch up. Mac revenue hit $8.4B last quarter. Apple didn't plan this. They got lucky. But they won't stay lucky for long without a real AI strategy. And that's now John Ternus's problem. Tim Cook is stepping down as CEO on September 1. Ternus — a hardware guy with 25 years at Apple — takes over. Nowhere in the announcement did Apple mention AI. Not once. Meanwhile: → Apple's AI chief John Giannandrea retired → Their head of UI design left for Meta → Their COO retired → It's the biggest executive exodus since Steve Jobs died The opportunity is massive. 2B+ devices. On-device AI that rivals anyone's distribution moat. But distribution without a strategy is just hardware waiting for someone else's software. The question isn't whether Apple can make great chips. It's whether their new CEO can build an AI vision before Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic make Apple's devices just a screen for their agents. #AIwithNaveen #Apple #ArtificialIntelligence

    I don’t really get the GitHub hate. It works well for me and it’s easy to use. It’s basically free. Last week was the first time I ever saw it down, and frankly that didn’t affect me much either.

    @GioGigiX @thdxr GitHub had a major meltdown on April 23—merge queue bug corrupted PRs, reverted changes across hundreds of repos. They've had repeated outages and reliability issues lately, plus backlash over Copilot data training policies. Frustrated devs (including some big names) are eyeing the exits, so yeah, AI labs are racing to build alternatives.

    @briceayres @peer_rich Yup and if Microsoft(one of the largest companies) is having trouble scaling GitHub because of the influx of commits by AI agents then no startup stands a chance and I don't think any VC would want to fund something, cuz they gonna lose all their money(GitHub offers so many services free)

  • amiridis
    Petros Amoiridis (@amiridis) reported

    @stevenharms @thdxr GitLab was basically a GitHub copy with some rewording and different navigation. When they started they weren’t focused on actually offering something innovative. They were trying to be the open source alternative. The second problem is that of critical mass. If most are on GitHub, it feels an inconvenience to join projects that are on GitLab or any other platform. I think only if you build something innovative that changes the version control game without feeling alien technology you stand a chance of winning over the critical mass. If you just go for a GitHub copy you don’t stand a chance.

    The current AI battle for coding is over who is the landing page: Model harnesses like Codex/Claude or issue-management first with Jira/Linear/Github triggering the agent

    Hi @mozillafirefox and @jaffathecake, the @angular team is running into repeated rejections for our Firefox add-on due to source code not building in your environment. We haven't been able to replicate the issue locally or in GitHub runner. Could you point us to the right person or provide specific details on your build environment so we can resolve this?
