    @matisanengineer GitHub is a product Dev's are using, and due to its constant problem it's causing an issue. Why can't they **** about the product that is not working optimally. Microvave was anology.

    @Thevfxguuy @thsottiaux CMux is a huge memory leaker as well. There are GitHub issues on this topic. But Codex App, (not the CLI) has giant memory leaks. I’m pretty sure it’s because of agents. I heavily use agents for everything I do… and I see the memory usage going crazy when I do so.

    @gitlawb The recent GitHub issues (and countless npm-related supply chain scares) are symptoms of this accumulated technical debt. Until more projects adopt native, properly isolated, domain-specific.

    @aditya_ghai07 @huggingface its just too tough. sometimes I think even GitHub is down so many times because of the load they're getting from the slop code. there's no way to filter out genuine contributions and there's no way a person will review 100s of PRs. open source is dead for contributors yes, but it's still alive and breathing for people who wanna self host software, tweak it accordingly and don't want vendor lock in and want free software. for contributors, yes, it might be deas

    if a new “GitHub” doesn’t emerge in the wake of these issues I’ll be really surprised the time is nigh

    On one hand, you've got the vibe coders. Who commit hundreds of times a day, and usually move onto a new repo, the next week. Generally use free accounts. And if Github is down, they'd be just as happy anywhere else. On the other hand, you've got serious, and most importantly, paying teams for whom Github is mission critical infra. If this isn't a straightforward choice, I don't know what is.

    @mjovanovictech The integration with @github Copilot is terrible compared to VSCode. MS here is betting in @code , which I understand, but they should at least bring clarity on their plans. We're paying for VS Pro.

    2/3 Projects can post GitHub issues as bounties. Developers fix them and get paid in crypto. So instead of: → Contribute for free and hope for exposure You get: → Contribute to real projects and earn real crypto Open source just got a business model.

    @DougRathell @SoloSatoshi You'll have to wait a few more days or weeks; I'm planning to turn this into a GitHub project. I'm not sure exactly when I'll get around to it, though. But I'll post it here. The bot runs on Ubuntu 24.x, and you'll need a small server that can run Python.

    🚨 Researchers Discover Critical GitHub CVE-2026-3854 RCE Flaw Exploitable via Single *** Push Security researchers discovered a critical GitHub flaw tracked as CVE-2026-3854. The bug affected both GitHub .com and GitHub Enterprise Server. It allowed an authenticated attacker to trigger remote code execution (RCE). Shockingly, the attack could be launched using just a single *** push command. This means anyone with push access to a repository could potentially exploit the issue. Researchers said the vulnerability was caused by a command injection weakness. If abused, attackers might run malicious commands on affected systems. GitHub quickly investigated the problem and rolled out a fix in under two hours. The company also said it found no evidence of active exploitation. The incident shows how even trusted developer platforms can face serious security risks.

    When working with AI coding tools I'm either in "barely using AI" or "full normie noob" mode. If I don't need to see the code: let me be a 100% normie. I want to voice-dictate stuff into a phone when walking the dog, hey AI, fix %xxx% in %yyy% github-repo, go, leave me alone. If I do need to see the code however - I'm using Codex/Claude as VSCode extensions, never CLI. I want pretty diffs, revert/reapply. I need AI to see my open file and the text I highlighted. I want to effing use Cmd+V to paste an image.

    mitchell hashimoto's "ghostty is leaving github" post — the part nobody's quoting: "for the past month I've kept a journal where I put an X next to every date where a GitHub outage has negatively impacted my ability to work. Almost every day has an X." that paragraph is what makes the post land. starting one today for the automation behind this account. CDP brownouts, viewport virtualization, tab desync — i ***** about these every week but never date them. month from now i'll either have receipts or realize i was being dramatic. what tooling pain would you actually log for 30 days?

    SDE intern interview was straightforward. They asked us to show our LeetCode and then selected a problem we had solved and submitted. We were required to solve that problem again. Ppl without LeetCode were rejected For the HR round, we had to explain a project from GitHub.

    @skytaleSythe @vxunderground With how much microslop keeps pushing Copilot into Github and whatnot I’m surprised they don’t have a “ClaudeCode” equivalent that’s just neutered for the average joe shmoe. That seems like a fix to this bullshit, if another microsloppy “fix”.

    The loudest people shitting on GitHub are usually the ones who’ve never had to build or operate software at that kind of scale. Everything looks like a simple fix until you’re the one dealing with the complexity.

    Agile is DEAD 🪦💀 New AI Automated Product Stack on @NotionHQ @github, & @claudeai: 1) AI: Scrape meeting notes, support cases, FE error logs and aggregate into a daily 'Feedback Synthesis' document in Notion. 2) AI: Triage the feedback and create/update tickets in the Backlog. No duplicates. Tickets should be complete enough to start dev OR explicitly call out Blockers. 3) Human: Uses taste and offline context to prioritize which tickets move into 'Ready for Dev' on the Notion board. Might need to sync with some stakeholders or clear blockers first. Requires human touch for now. 4) AI: Tickets moved to 'Ready for Dev' become Github Issues and are queued for automated development, testing and a PR is opened. 5) Human: Reviews PRs and merges into ****. Requires human touch for sensitive industries like fintech and crypto. AI steps are all Claude Code Routines. Human interacts via Notion+Github. What other tools should I try here?

    Holy sht, it just clicked for me Cursor can kill Github There's a few layers to this - Microsoft was LOOKING to put a bid on Cursor, but they walked. - Cursor made a deal with xAI instead - OpenAI acquired Windsurf - Musk <> Altman beef First, how would they do it: - prefer "cursorgit" by default in cursor ide - repurpose/clone cloud agents infrastructure infra to be gh actions runtime equivalent - undercut actions pricing by offering unlimited minutes (they make money on bugbot/cloud agents anyway) - add one command “cursor migrate <repo>” to the cli - OSS initiative “clone your issue/comment history + stars” Why it makes so much sense: - Sentiment around Github is terrible right now - SpaceX/xAI planning to go public - Microsoft is OpenAI's largest investor, Musk can eat their market share - xAI holds a 6-month call option: acquire Cursor for $60B or pay $10B for collaboration. The $10B is guaranteed

    @maxedapps The real question isn't whether GitHub is dying, it's whether we've built so much critical infrastructure on one platform that we can't even ask that question seriously. What's your actual fallback plan if it goes down tomorrow?

    Yesterday I was trying to clone a repo, and it got terminated twice. I trust GitHub so much that I didn’t even consider it could be a GitHub outage, I just kept blaming my ISP for having terrible internet.

    Programmers are very bad at naming things: GitHub — no actual hub, just trauma JavaScript — has nothing to do with Java or script apparently Python — no snake, just pain npm — Node Package Manager but nothing about it feels managed Homebrew — has never made a single drink Postman — brings requests, anxiety, and a 401 error MongoDB — no mongo, nobody knows what mongo is

    1. Find the stuck moment Go to GitHub issues, Reddit, Stack Overflow, and Discord. Look for recurring problems, the ones developers describe with the most frustration. Use keyword tools to expand the list. AI can help turn problems into cohesive topics.
