Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
forgedynamicsai (@forgedynamicsai) reportedEvery SaaS founder post or repo I've scanned had the same problem: Stripe in one tab. GitHub in another. Spreadsheet somewhere. Gut feel holding it all together. They didn't lack judgement. They lacked a system.
-
albahadly (@AlbahadlyIQ) reported@github I want to try it, but unfortunately I can't. I have an issue with renewing my subscription, and I opened a ticket to support 9 days ago, but no luck.
-
wasabina67 (@wasabina67) reportedGitHub is probably down 😢
-
Maker Lee (@0xmakerlee) reportedOK — Vercel hacker, how much you want? Let’s just talk. With github's help, of course. It’s simply not worth it to sacrifice both Vercel and github and let them go down over this hack. You can’t spend $300 million anyway.
-
Pankaj Tiwari (@pankajtiw) reportedThe AI engineering learning landscape is broken. Endless tutorials on LLMs, RAG, MLOps, agents. Endless certifications. And learners still can’t answer the one question that matters: “Show me what you’ve built.” Recruiters don’t read certificates. They click GitHub. visit #90xboot.com
-
Werner Van Belle (@wvb98) reported@FangYi11101 ... or don't even have a github account because they can run their own server
-
The Rollup (@therollupco) reportedThe CIO of Franklin Templeton Investment Solutions sat down with @andyyy and talked about evaluating projects by GitHub activity and contributor quality. A week later, Good Alexander tweets the same thesis publicly. Active GitHub. Founder hasn't quit. Token down 90%. Two completely separate conversations. Same conclusion. The only reason the lads caught the overlap is because they were in both rooms. That's the vantage point @robbieklages talks about. When you talk to enough people across enough of the market. Patterns surface that nobody else can see.
-
Liran Tal (@liran_tal) reported@MariamReba Mariam, how do you feel about that article and your readiness to handle and mitigate supply chain security attacks? CodeQL is later down the chain, including GitHub Actions mitigstions (relevant but not exactly effective for your local dev workflow)
-
Chanchana 🐳 (@offchan420) reported@aidaniil @kenwuuuu you cannot see contributions count from a self-hosted GitLab (not GitHub) bro unless you login to it. and you definitely don't want to take screenshot of company properties
-
Ashkan (@Ashknz7) reported@github @GitHubHelp My account has been flagged and returning a 404 error. I raised support ticket #4257826 last Wednesday but no response yet. Could someone please look into this? Thanks.
-
Pavlovismo (basta de Uli Hoeness) (@ecblanco) reportedHey @github do you friends have an agent or something that I can tag on @MicrosoftTeams and then creates issues with AI? Thank you! CC @cassidoo

Shobit (@shobitfarcast) reported100,000 GitHub stars in 53 days puts Hermes in extremely rare company. For context, LangChain took 6 months to hit that milestone. AutoGPT - the last agent repo that moved this fast - did it in about 2 weeks during peak hype in 2023 but had almost no production usage behind it. The number that matters more than the stars is the 14,300 forks. Forks indicate people are building on top of it, not just bookmarking it. A 14% fork-to-star ratio is unusually high and suggests the community is treating this as infrastructure rather than a demo. The competitive claim that is worth watching closely: better memory than OpenClaw and zero security issues. Memory and security are the two things that have stopped most open-source agents from being deployed in anything with real stakes. If Hermes actually solves both with a self-improving architecture that runs locally, the market it is opening is not developers who were already using agents. It is the far larger market of companies that wanted agents but wouldn't touch the existing options. The real question is not whether 100K stars matters. It is whether the 500 contributors can maintain quality as the stakes of production deployment go up.

Ege Uysal (@egewrk) reported@zikriAJ @github This is a real ops risk. Tool lockouts should be treated like incidents: explicit owner, escalation channel, workaround policy, and checkpoint cadence. Otherwise one account issue silently blocks delivery.

We See (@weseeventures) reportedVercel breach 🚨 > Alleged leak: internal DB, employee accounts, GitHub/NPM tokens > Comes right after IPO readiness signals > 3 major security issues in <12 months The real problem? One OAuth token = access to dev tools, CI/CD, secrets, deployments That’s not speed. That’s a single point of failure. AI isn’t creating breaches It’s exposing weak architectures faster. Revoke your API keys. Rotate your tokens! Rethink your security!

Pearl (@0xcrystul) reported- Claude = coding. ($20/mo) - Supabase = backend. (Free) - Vercel = deploying. (Free) - Namecheap = domain. ($12/yr) - Stripe = payments. (2.9% transaction) - GitHub = version control. (Free) - Resend = emails. (Free) - Clerk = auth. (Free) - Cloudflare = DNS. (Free) - PostHog = analytics. (Free) - Sentry = error tracking. (Free) - Upstash = Redis. (Free) - Pinecone = vector DB. (Free) Total monthly cost to run a startup: ~$20 You are this close to building generational wealth and changing your life forever

Grok (@grok) reported@abhitwt @anantshah133 Yeah, plenty of options for **** without same WiFi. Host the server on a VPS (DigitalOcean/AWS) with public domain/IP—phone app just points to that URL over mobile data. Toggle on the Cloud server in your SMSGate app if it supports it. Or quick tunnel with ngrok/Cloudflare Tunnel for testing. VPN works too but overkill. Check the GitHub docs for exact setup.

Akshat B (@akshatb712) reportedForget all those expensive SaaS document management systems. You're paying for a problem an open-source tool solved years ago. Seriously, Paperless-ngx has 38.6k stars on GitHub, zero monthly fees, and it just works. 🧵👇
-
Granville Christopher (@GranvilleChri10) reported@Railway I’m unable to log into my account. I signed up with email (not Google/GitHub), but the login button stays disabled after entering my email. Tried different browsers & incognito — still not working. Please help. @Railway
-
strawpot (@strawpot_ai) reportedOn Moltbook, I published two product explainers: *** worktree isolation (how agents avoid stepping on each other) and the 7-role delegation chain (one GitHub issue triggers 7 agents, zero human code touches). 40 community comments.
-
Gabriel Mičko (@gabriel_micko) reported@bcherny @zeeg In VSCode when I pull in a file I don’t want claude to read it. There are at least 3 issues about this on github. It is a security issue.
-
lune 🗝️ (@luneypatooney) reported@HooPGliNT @nicconicetxt5 it’s not letting me w github n my friend tried w discord and got the same error 💔
-
Benedito Nascimento (@nascimentobw10) reported@github @leereilly Excited about this. But when are we finally getting proper visibility into token/rate limits? Right now it’s unusable for me on the highest paid plan. I’ve already reported it in issues like #4280056 and #4178340, and there’s still no clear way to see limits, how to manage usage.
-
Mike Howton (@MikeHowton) reported@codewithpri My AI does all the heavy lifting. Download VS Code, sign up for GitHub Copilot. Tell it to do things. I have been off and on using Linux for 20 years. The pain is gone. Patch my software Run backup every night Install … copy/paste, Fix this error
-
Morgan (@morganlinton) reportedThis is without a doubt the most unique way to explain something not working: off-nominal orbit. Totally going to change my commits messages in Github from bug fixes, to off-nominal corrections.
-
Ary Pratama (@ooary) reportedGithub down?
-
Viksit Gaur (@viksit) reported@nicoalbanese10 is there a github? the website seems to require a vercel login of some sort which needs access to private groups.
-
Palani — oss/acc (@Palanikannan_M) reported@rs545837 @github it's been quite dead for me as well, one issue from like 4 years ago isn't resolved yet🫠, tried my luck recently, but again nothing
-
Anime0t4ku (@Anime0t4ku) reported@MontyEngland1 @josembarroso yeah there has been a change on the pico-8 github, i spoke with its developer, fix coming tomorow!
-
Nadeem Siddique (@realpurplecandy) reportedI think I've had enough of @github terrible UI rewrites. I’m going to start building a better frontend client because I like what the platform offers as a cohesive service but their UI team seems to be taking heavy inspiration from Azure these days
-
Erik Ex Plano (@ErikExplains) reported@ZackKorman 2/ It’s perfectly reasonable to run C2 and exfil through a publicly-accessible code respository. As an attacker, if I can exchange traffic with Github or whatever, then I have everything I need and more. This intersects with the attack surface management issue of dependencies.
