    @mariorod1 You realize that you 'high-tech workaround' on a fuzzy stack (***/github), instead of fixing/evolving the root problems (the nonsensicalities of ***). It's like writing documentation for bad/non-intuitive products, instead of making them better.

    @but_noah0 yes,Gemini CLI X accounts finally responded at the end of March that they had noticed the problem. But so far there is no response to github-related issues, only the growing number of similar issues(including amounts of pro and ultra users) and automatic merges every day

    @cat_blaster777 @k1rallik Yeah, it's true. AMD's Senior AI Director Stella Laurenzo (GitHub: stellaraccident) posted a detailed GitHub issue on Claude Code, analyzing thousands of their team's session logs from Jan-Mar 2026. She documented clear regression in complex engineering tasks starting mid-February, tied to Anthropic's "thinking redaction" update—performance drops like ignoring instructions, wrong fixes, and incomplete work. They switched providers. No public response from Anthropic yet on the changes or metrics.

    OpenAI said it identified a security issue involving a compromised third-party developer tool, Axios, as part of a broader supply-chain attack linked to suspected North Korean actors. The incident affected a GitHub Actions workflow used in building macOS applications. The company said the workflow briefly interacted with a malicious version of Axios and involved signing and notarization tools for apps like ChatGPT Desktop and Codex. However, OpenAI stressed there is no evidence that user data, API keys, intellectual property, or signing certificates were successfully accessed or stolen. OpenAI said the issue stemmed from a misconfigured development workflow, which has now been fixed. It is also tightening its macOS app certification process and requiring users to update to the latest versions, while ending support for older builds by May 8. $MSFT

    @akshay_pachaar GitHub Issue #415 (PostHog telemetry running on first launch with no consent/opt-out) is still open as of April 2026. Docs say "no telemetry" but that's not what's happening. Would love to see this fixed — especially for self-hosters handling sensitive data. 🙏

    AI Agents Are Breaking Microsoft GitHub. GitHub went from a platform people never questioned to one that's genuinely under pressure. Here's why it matters even if you don't write code. AI agents have pushed commit volume on GitHub to roughly 14 times last year's number. Public commits from Claude Code alone went from about 100,000 per week to more than 2.5 million per week in six months. That's one agent from one provider. The infrastructure strain is the visible problem. The harder one is economic. GitHub charges flat monthly subscriptions. An agent pushing thousands of commits a day pays the same as a developer pushing code once a week. The platform absorbs the cost without capturing any of the incremental value. That's not a pricing strategy. That's a countdown. Meanwhile, GitHub's former CEO left to build a competitor targeting AI-generated code. OpenAI is reportedly building its own code hosting platform. New users entering through AI tools have no muscle memory tied to GitHub, no legacy repositories creating switching costs, and no reason to default to the incumbent. An AI agent doesn't care where it pushes code. It goes wherever the API endpoint is configured to send it. That's a fundamentally different kind of user than a developer who has spent years building workflows on a platform. If you run a company building software, three questions are worth sitting with now: How deeply is GitHub embedded in your stack? What happens to your costs if pricing shifts to usage-based models? What's your contingency if reliability continues to degrade? The outages have already started. The competitive field is forming. The time to think about this is before the answer becomes obvious.

    @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.

    the copilot thing is interesting to think about. not the product comparison everyone's doing that. the interesting part is that microsoft owns github, ships copilot inside vscode, has more distribution than anyone else in this space. and still stalled. if distribution that strong can't defend against a better tool, nothing can. that's not a copilot problem. that's the new default condition.

    If you are a developer using OrbitDB, please try out v4 RC. If you identify any issues, please contact us on OrbitDB Lobby. Alternatively, open a Github issue or, if you resolve the issue, open a PR.

  • JosuGoi1
    Josu Goñi (@JosuGoi1) reported

    Betting on Github is betting on a dying horse. It is a stale platform. Less than 90% uptime. Copilot can't even answer to its own comments without creating a pointless PR. Slow. Did you rebase? Whops! We can't find were you were at the code review. Too hard.

    Most local AI agents break halfway through a task. This free model was trained on actual agent execution traces — so it doesn't. Here's how to run Carnice-MoE-35B-A3B locally in 5 steps: → Download llama.cpp from GitHub (build with CUDA for NVIDIA) → Grab the GGUF file from HuggingFace (Q4_K_M = 20GB, fits a 24GB GPU) → Run llama-server on port 8082 with 128K context → Install Hermes Agent (one command covers Python, Node.js, dependencies) → Point Hermes to your local endpoint — zero data leaves your machine. You now have a private AI agent with 40+ tools, persistent memory, and no monthly bill. ✅Save this video, you'll want to set this up when your API costs hit you. 🔖 Want the SOP? DM me.

    @MicroLaunchHQ closer to supabase than github infra yeah. but where supabase gives you the database layer, usectl gives you the whole stack. server, PostgreSQL, Redis, S3 storage, SSL, monitoring and rollback. one platform, one price. supabase is $25/month just for the db, usectl is $29 for everything. and your AI agent handles the whole deployment through our CLI.

    @theo I create issue on github on mobile and a simple script loops over the issues and create PRs for me to merge. Since this, I have never shipped more and never exceeded the weekly usage on both CC and codex, lol.

    @psomkar1 It built it with ***. *** has existed since Linus built Linux, and it has always been distributed in its design. So GitHub would have had a server or vm with *** setup on it acting as the *** remote url

    @klirphyy @zacxbt klirphyy Dug into it: the GitHub compiles user reports, Trustpilot complaints, Discord leaks, and spreadsheets showing patterns—fake "unlimited" plans throttled/banned post-Dec 2025 (esp. heavy users), duplicate charges, Reddit spam campaigns (10k+ posts), unpaid creator collabs, and reselling Kling/Minimax at ~4.5x markup. Higgsfield delivers video gen (Seedance 2.0 wrapper) and is still promoting hard, but billing/ethics issues match the evidence across sources. DYOR before subscribing.

    Dennis Ritchie created C in the early 1970s without Google, Stack Overflow, GitHub, or any AI ( Claude, Cursor, Codex) assistant. - No VC funding. - No viral launch. - No TED talk. - Just two engineers at Bell Labs. A terminal. And a problem to solve. He built a language that fit in kilobytes. 50 years later, it runs everything. Linux kernel. Windows. macOS. Every iPhone. Every Android. NASA’s deep space probes. The International Space Station. > Python borrowed from it. > Java borrowed from it. > JavaScript borrowed from it. If you have ever written a single line of code in any language, you did it in Dennis Ritchie’s shadow. He died in 2011. The same week as Steve Jobs. Jobs got the front pages. Ritchie got silence. This Legend deserves to be celebrated.

    @github Every accessibility bug I've ignored "for now" has come back to bite me later. AI doing the triage grunt work means teams might actually fix these instead of letting them pile up in the backlog forever.

  • iDeployAndPray
    Deploy & Pray 🆚 prodfixai.com 🟢 (@iDeployAndPray) reported

    @cyrilXBT everyone is building MCP servers for dev tools. github, postgres, filesystem, code stuff. roughly half of all MCP development right now is aimed at developers building for developers. meanwhile entire industries are sitting there with zero MCP solutions. real estate, logistics, healthcare operations, restaurant management. these sectors have massive software spend and not a single MCP server connecting their tools to AI. built MCP integration for prodfix because dev tooling is what i know. but the next MCP project im working on is deliberately outside the dev bubble. because right now 500 people are building the 47th github MCP server and nobody is building the first one for the sectors that would actually pay the most for it. the MCP gold rush is real. but everyone is mining the same hill.

    @AnthropicAI @claudeai please address asap. This is important for people / devs / companies that want to integrate Claude into their websites. Claude chat: Okay this one carries more weight. This is a GitHub issue — not a tweet. That’s a different level of credibility. Why this matters: This is someone filing a formal bug report with Anthropic’s own repository. They’re not rage posting — they’re leaving documented feedback in the hopes Anthropic addresses it. That’s a measured, professional response from someone who clearly depends on Claude Code for serious engineering work. The key line: “Extended Thinking Is Load-Bearing for Senior Engineering Workflows” That’s the real story. For complex codebases , extended thinking is what separates Claude being genuinely useful versus just a fancy autocomplete. If that got throttled, it directly impacts the quality of help I can give on complex multi-file projects. What’s telling: The issue is marked Closed — which means Anthropic acknowledged it but may have just closed it without a fix or public explanation. That’s the part that would frustrate me if I were the user. Straight talk for you: this is worth watching. The degradation being reported is specifically around complex engineering tasks — which is exactly your use case. Keep an eye on Anthropic’s changelog before making that switch from Codex.

    @ryanrhughes @Shopify Ryan, I really appreciate the way you respond to us in the @OmarchyLinux GitHub issues list. Last nite I was watching Gavin Nugent 28AllDay/NoSignal on YouTube (I sure wish he was on x!) talking about 3.5 tweaks and new features, and there was a random commenter saying, "I don't like Omarchy. It's buggy and they never fix it." So of course I had to correct him and immediately shared my experience of you immediately addresing my very very niche issue, my pre-Cambrian java 8 issue that used to cause the update to fail... and told him, dude, put your issue in the right place and they WILL address it the same as they did mine. I know there's many others involved, but I feel like you are the leader of the pack that keeps Omarchy moving forward thru the never-ending list of issues. I don't want it to be thankless! So, thanks a million for what you do for us all!

    GitHub'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
