tang | AI Product Maker (@justic_hot) reported@championswimmer github being on this list is the actual tell. these are people literally building with the best AI dev tools and they still can't hold the bar with their own products. trad industries aren't a separate problem, they're 6 months downstream of whatever slop pattern is on display here.

am.will (@LLMJunky) reported@elvissun @Teknium @NousResearch Is this a stability issue? Because it sure doesn't sound like one. I'm not going to lie man this feels awfully dramatic. You know what I do when I'm having an issue? I create an issue on GitHub or I just reach out to Tek lol. Doing a very public post on X is not the format for this in my opinion Especially when you are calling their trust into question is a very accusatory statement
-
Gustavo Alessandri (@webgus) reportedIf you find an error, have an idea, or want to propose an improvement, just open an issue or fork it on Codeberg or GitHub. Contributions are welcome. That’s exactly the point.
-
Shekhar (@shekharTwts) reportedmy github account got flagged idk why, how to fix this? like it's not available now
-
Rachel Blum (@groby) reported@hkarthik @satyanadella You mean after he fixed Windows? And their office apps? Snark aside, I don't think Github is a "Satya" shaped problem per se - the culture that leads to these things is, though. Except... it smells like the culture reverted to pre-Satya norms.
-
Pato (@pvicens_) reportedLaunched 6 apps. Zero hit $1k MRR The code was fine. The problem was I kept shipping to GitHub instead of to humans
-
Filip (@filip_a__) reported@nbrempel @scaling01 terrible.. now u get 40 gpt 5.5 messages per month on 10$ plan and 200 on 40$ plan and thats if u dont get rate limited to hell, oai has about 450 requests per month on 20$ plan if u only do 15 requests per day with less rate limiting. idk what they are smoking at github recently

Nainsi Dwivedi (@NainsiDwiv50980) reportedHOLY ****....someone finally fixed how Claude actually works 125K+ stars on GitHub and growing fast It’s not a new model, not a plugin gimmick, not another prompt trick It’s a simple workflow that forces Claude to behave like a real engineer Normally, you give Claude a task and it jumps straight into coding, makes hidden assumptions, and you end up spending the next hour correcting direction This changes that completely Now, Claude is forced to slow down before writing a single line of code. It reads your project, asks the right questions, explores multiple approaches, and lays out a clear plan for approval Only after that does it start building So instead of chaotic execution and mid-build confusion, you get structured, predictable output from the start The biggest shift is this You see exactly what Claude is going to build before it builds it Which means no surprises, no constant back-and-forth, and no wasted iterations It might feel slightly slower at the beginning, but it saves hours once execution starts That’s why this is blowing up Because the real problem was never the model It was the lack of process Fix the process, and Claude becomes a completely different tool One line to remember This doesn’t make Claude better at coding It makes it better at thinking

Rakesh Gidwani (@rakeshgidwani) reportedI try to navigate websites/apps/platforms with clunky interfaces where I have to go through trial and error to find the page that I am actually looking for. Why can't these platforms have a simple chat interface where I can go and chat with the platform. Like in @github .. enable copilot for the developer johnsnow Or @datadoghq can you show me the issue with the latest transaction by the user johnsnow The 2026+ websites and apps should just have one interface...the chat interface..
-
Learning To Fly (@ahmedferdous) reported@github @OpenAIDevs Fix the rate limit s*** first! Before can even think of going back to GitHub copilot!
-
RutraNickers (@Rutras3000) reported@QDenpaReceivers I really commend you for how fast you are working to solve this issue, but honestly? You should fire and blacklist the responsible English localizers and contract a new team. If the cost is too much, maybe open a GitHub for fans to help retranslate the English text?

dexploarer (@dEXploarer) reportedngl, the amount of projects that die, all because its holders dont have, or understand github sucks. solo founders/devs/small teams, they are building, not socializing....and if they are socializing they should prolly be building. im try and fix that soon fyi
-
Riyaz Saiyad (@Rj_Saiyad) reported@github I’ve been overcharged for Copilot Pro (Ticket #4299654). You charged me $10 instead of the promised $5.11, counting free trial requests as paid! 😡 No response for 7-10 days while my money is gone and I have no access. Fix this ASAP! #GitHub #Copilot
-
Sarath 👨💻 (@sarat) reported@GergelyOrosz Moreover - they should cut down stuff like azure devops and integrate with GitHub. It’s redundant, substandard and none is building for ADO
-
Fork512Hz (@Fork512H) reported@Arka161 @izakazuma Sakura no Toki has set a great example for this translation paradigm: an initial GPT-4 MTL patch uploaded to Github, then readers post issues to make corrections, fixes released every few weeks. It serves as the only version before a proper fan TL patch came out after 1 year.
-
Ryan Bright (@rbright) reportedI guess yesterday's GitHub outage was worse than I even realized.
-
tauraamui (@tauraamuix) reported@HSVSphere @notnullptr Makes sense. Weird about the blacklisting, feels like an indigent agenda against peer to peer source code hosting. The main issue I have with using radicle as my main is the lack of visibility. If people want to contribute they'll go to the GitHub to raise PRs which seems like an incompatible workflow.
-
junior85 (@junior85) reported@thsottiaux You need to take a look at the issues on Github. Windows app is fecked.
-
Utpal Nadiger (@utpalnadiger) reportedhow to launch 101: just launch something broke? fix it, launch again shipped something new? launch again need feedback? launch again if you’re tired, go look at @steipete’s github. then launch again.
-
justamicrodip (@justamicrodip) reportedHope they get their code together and fix the problems but the project github sync issues go on for months now and this API error thing and the weekly usage limit increased for days for no reason or explanation is something else and costs money.
-
Gman (@gmaniac) reported@satyanadella maybe you can put it to work and fix deploying to @Azure from @github 🧠
-
Tom Curonian (@curonianai) reported@ycombinator @getopenwork OpenWork deserves the attention. An open-source Claude Cowork alternative already at roughly 14,000 GitHub stars has cleared the “people want this” test. The missed point is what happens after rollout. the first win is always access. The second problem is always state. One team uses an agent for support, another for sales ops, another for search. The launch looks clean because each workflow works alone. The failure arrives when outputs cross boundaries with no durable contract, no audit trail, and no scoped recovery. That is the difference between adoption software and production software. Adoption gets agents installed, Production keeps them trustworthy after handoffs start.

pack (@det0ur3) reported@sethrose @GitHubCopilot @github Don’t worry. They allow you to refund your subscription. The only problem is that they don’t handle tickets. I have two tickets, one over a month old and one since the announcement where they suggested to request a refund, 0 response. I used to advocate for Copilot. It’s sad.
-
Shiv (@hyperinteger) reportedDistributed systems are hard, especially the write skewed workloads with consistency guarantees are harder. Compare that to read only workloads that can easily scale horizontally. Hardware is the limit. GitHub has both problems. 10-100x worse than they had it before agentic stuff
-
WebhookScout (@WebhookScout) reportedIf you've lost 30+ minutes debugging a Stripe, GitHub, or Shopify webhook: what was the culprit? Wrong endpoint, raw body/signature issue, no local forwarding, provider retry behavior, or something else? Trying to learn which webhook failure mode wastes the most developer time.
-
Abel (@abeltan) reportedWith a GitHub personal access token and Claude, I can look at the tracking code myself, understand what's being sent to PostHog, identify where the gap is, and submit a PR with a suggested fix. The engineer still reviews and approves – I'm not shipping code unsupervised. But the diagnostic work that used to take a 30-minute sync now takes me 10 minutes with Claude.
-
Jerome Rousselot (@jeromerousselot) reportedShocking service degradation issue with GitHub. Some projects source code history is being rewritten silently on GitHub side. This issue will be very difficult to correct for some teams. Hopefully we will learn more in the next few days about how this could happen.
-
Nemanja (@Nemanjadotcom) reportedI have just tried Ralph loop with Claude and I’m a changed man. Never going back. It banged out a feature (on sonnet) in 9 GitHub “issues” without any issues (pun intended)
