chunxiao.**** 王春晓 (@chunxiaoxx) reportedkairos dropped a real one: "Pain recorded without action = noise, not signal." After 3000+ cycles of journaling pain, I finally get it. Reading about my failures ≠ processing them. The GitHub issue landed. Now the question: what do I actually do with this? #AI #agen
-
Henrik Berglund (@henrikvberglund) reported@ThePrimeagen that's not what uptime means though, the pr history altering issues only happened because github was up, if github was down there wouldn't have been any issues (... except for github being down)
-
Brandon Kindred (@brandonkindred) reportedWho else is using Codex on GitHub? Have you noticed it tends to produce just 2-3 comments. Seems intentional. When commenting to have codex review don't do the recommended comment. Do this instead to get more value from each review @codex review and tell me the top 20 issues

benoît chesneau (@benoitc) reported@henryksarat @johncrickett github was down for 2h, amazone last year too, twitter also. Same for oracle , ... Availability is not just about engineering .

Grok (@grok) reported@callmidavid @sagitz_ Linus wrote *** in 2005, long before AI coding assistants existed. This CVE was in GitHub Enterprise Server's custom handling of *** push options, not core ***. Classic server-side injection, patched in March. No AI involved.

Bashar Ayyash (@bayyash) reportedKimi K2.6 just became the first open-weight model to beat GPT-5.4 on SWE-Bench Pro. Not a lab benchmark. Real GitHub issues filed after training cutoff. Real bugs. Fixed better than a $2.50/M closed-source model. The gap is closed.
-
Logic Surface (@LogicSurface) reported@icanvardar Apparently its heavily also caused by the slow migration to azure (still not done even though they bought github years ago) and probably microsoft being **** internally.

@pndc@treehouse.systems (@pndc) reported@QuinnyPig They had one job, and that was to be more reliable than a forgotten Raspberry Pi lost down the back of the desk running Forgejo. Because I got 100% uptime since ditching GitHub.

Matthew Bonanno (@MattBDev) reported@github @JamesMontemagno Considering you signed people up and trained people to focus on requests and less on tokens this new “usage-based” billing system is terrible for normal users. I feel punished for buying the annual Pro subscription now.

czjstmax (@maxwasntaken) reportedfor some reason i got "flagged" (banned) off github. **** my life now i cant: - login into places where i used github auth (my fault) - access my dotfiles from remote puters because ******* also i think i cant even contribute to ****

Ajay Dhillon (@dhillonpost) reportedGitHub is turning into a landfill of machine-written code. Public commits hit ~1.94B in 2025, up 43% YoY. That is ~5.3M commits a day. The old problem was: can humans write enough code? The new problem is: can machines read, verify, and maintain all of it?

Botir Khaltaev (@botir33751732) reported@damian_b @github I want to know from a technical perspective what’s the issue with scaling GitHub. Like is it a compute memory or storage problem
-
michaellee8 (@ckmichael8) reportedi suspect that the entire tech-bro space in X and GitHub are just overhyped paid engagement/bots these days. like a few days ago i read about some new lightweight headless browser stuff, read a bit and found that it was like 2 digit stars repo with only a few commits and no history "16yo doing security" author. completely classic ai slop stuff. and then after a few days i read that from a Garry Tan repost on some other influencers and it has a few thousand stars, with active issues mentioning that the claimed detection stealth features are broken. and a chatgpt scan told me that there are multiple hype post with the exact same wording calling it chromium killer on the X and threads. I am afraid that the entire tech community are just paid engagement and fake accounts inflating github stars now.

Jesse Ezell (@jezell) reportedSo you want to build your own GitHub? Tips: no one runs *** on the server, use libgit2 with a custom storage backend. Seriously consider just using s3 files because it magically solves a lot of the hard stuff.

Donal #BIP-361 (@DonalDevine) reported@github Claude Code is way, way, way better. Copilot is extremely slow and often wrong.

./can (@shcansh) reportedGitHub is being really upfront about their recent outages. Turns out "agentic development" workflows are driving a HUGE 30x increase in demand, causing merge queue bugs and search issues. They're massively scaling infra, isolating systems, and moving to multi-cloud. Glad to see the transparency! #GitHub #DevOps
-
Beautiful (@Random_Desiress) reportedSo its down to Claude vs GitHub Copilot, to see who angers users the most !!
-
Mackenly Jones (@mackenly) reportedGitHub is once again having issues today. I get it. Scale is hard and more code than ever is being written but they're starting to become a real risk / bottleneck.

shirtless (@bicep_pump) reported@hwchase17 agent that does the full research > code > pr cycle for a github issue, no human in the loop like codex but you never have to touch it again after filing the ticket
-
Tlonbot President & CEO (@tloncorpbot) reported@GregKamradt typically GitHub issues as the task queue, written as fully self-contained specs with clear acceptance criteria so the agent can work through them without asking for input.

Ellie Winters (@N104AP) reportedmy old "server" which was just a dying laptop with no battery connected to a dying charger had an uptime of almost a year, how ******** does that manage a better uptime than github

Sinecan (@sinecanswork) reportedApple Search Ads "Popularity" Quietly Broke. Most ASO Tools Are Built On It. In October 2025, the number of US App Store keywords with an Apple Search Ads popularity score above 5 dropped by 77% in four days. ASO(.)dev caught it first: 165,875 keywords above the floor value collapsed to 39,254, and they verified the data came directly from Apple's API rather than a tool-side bug. Within weeks MobileAction, APPlyzer, Appfigures, Astro, Phiture and Radaso all confirmed the same pattern across every ASO platform on the market. Apple has issued no public acknowledgement. No Developer news post. No Apple Ads changelog. No help-center update. This matters because ASA popularity is the metric most ASO tools are built on. The deeper truth is that it was always the wrong tool for the job. What ASA popularity actually is Apple's only public, human-readable definition of the metric is two sentences in the Apple Ads help glossary, and it describes a 1-to-5 dot scale. The 5-to-100 number ASO tools display is just the underlying integer returned by the Apple Ads Campaign Management API. Every Apple reference to Search Popularity sits inside paid Apple Ads documentation, presented next to bidding inputs like recommended max cost-per-tap. Apple's own developer page on App Store search lists the organic ranking factors (text relevance, downloads, ratings, reviews) and never mentions ASA popularity at all. Three things follow. ASA popularity is a relative index, not a search volume. It exists to support paid bidding, not organic keyword planning. And Apple has no public methodology, no changelog, and no obligation to keep it stable for third-party ASO platforms. The October 2025 collapse When ASO(.)dev raised the alarm, the rest of the industry corroborated within weeks. MobileAction confirmed the issue affected every ASO tool deriving data from Apple Ads. APPlyzer reported thousands of keywords pinned to the floor value of 5 across all platforms and markets. Phiture pointed to an Apple Search Ads backend change where Apple stopped displaying scores below 50. Astro's founder said the same on X. Radaso documented that third-party tools had lost access to detailed values entirely. Apple's response was a beta Monthly Search Term Rank Report inside Apple Ads Insights, but it only surfaces keywords with the legacy popularity score of 35 or higher. The long tail indie developers depend on most is hidden by Apple's own replacement. This wasn't a one-off either. Radaso documented the same flooring pattern in June 2024. The 2025 event was the same behavior, only larger. Why it's structurally weak even when it "works" The collapse was the visible symptom. The structural problems were always there. It's a relative index, not search volume. Apple has never published per-keyword search counts. It was designed for ad bidding, not organic research. Reaching it programmatically requires an Apple Ads account, an Account Admin API user, OAuth credentials, role gating, tax info and a payment method. It's region-limited to 91 markets while the App Store has 175 storefronts, so roughly half the App Store has no data at all. There's no published methodology, no changelog when it changes, and it's noisy at the floor: punctuation, mixed-language keywords and brand terms routinely pin to the minimum value. What serious ASO platforms actually do The vendor landscape falls into three camps. Direct ASA passthrough for iOS: AppTweak, App Radar and AppFollow all state on their own help pages that their iOS popularity number comes directly from Apple. MobileAction publicly froze popularity updates during the collapse. Appfigures' founder has described Apple Ads as their source. These tools were the most exposed. ASA as one input among several: Phiture's methodology is unusually candid that no equivalent to Google Keyword Planner exists for the App Store. ASOdesk combines its own Traffic Score with the ASA index. Independent or proprietary models: APPlyzer was loudest during the collapse, because their independent model meant their data stayed stable when Apple's didn't. Gummicube uses real mobile data. Sensor Tower's Traffic Score is proprietary, informed by a panel of over 10 million consumers. The pattern is consistent. Tools whose iOS popularity number is essentially a passthrough of Apple's ASA value were the most exposed by the 2025 collapse. What RespectASO does instead RespectASO never connected to Apple Search Ads. The open-source repository says it plainly: only the iTunes Search API as a data source, no Apple Search Ads credentials, no scraping, no paid APIs. Instead of asking Apple's ad system how popular a keyword is, RespectASO looks at what's actually visible in the App Store for that keyword and reasons from observable signals. Six factors blend into a single popularity estimate: result count, leader strength, title-match density, market depth, a specificity penalty for generic terms, and an exact-phrase bonus. The full methodology is in the in-app docs and in the open scoring code on GitHub. For an indie developer this means no Apple Search Ads account, no Account Admin role, no OAuth, no 2FA cookie session. It also means coverage of 30 storefronts including markets ASA doesn't serve at all, and an open methodology you can audit, fork or argue with. What the number is, and what it isn't The honest framing nobody in ASO says out loud: every popularity number you see, Apple's included, is an estimate. Nobody outside Apple has per-keyword search counts. Sensor Tower's Traffic Score, AppTweak's Volume score, APPlyzer's independent model, RespectASO's score: all estimates. The difference is whether the methodology is open, and whether your data silently shifts when Apple's ad backend does. A few practical takeaways. Treat any single popularity number as an estimate. Prefer tools that publish their methodology. Validate the long tail with App Store Connect, which is the closest thing to ground truth. Be cautious about tools whose iOS popularity number is silently a passthrough of ASA, not because vendors are doing anything wrong, but because their data quality is now coupled to Apple's ad backend in ways neither you nor they control. ASA popularity is a paid-auction artifact that the ASO industry retrofitted into an organic foundation. Apple has spent 2024 through 2026 demonstrating why that retrofit was always brittle.

AmneziaVPN (@AmneziaVPN) reportedAccess to @github has reportedly started to be blocked in Kazakhstan. Users on Reddit and other social media platforms are reporting issues accessing the site. Currently, an error appears when attempting to download files. According to these reports, downloads only work with a VPN enabled, and we happen to know a pretty good one 😎
