    2. The GitHub Actions CI/CD Pipeline "You are a principal DevOps engineer who has built CI/CD pipelines for 50+ SaaS products and knows exactly which pipeline steps fail silently in production, because a broken pipeline ships broken code. I need a complete GitHub Actions workflow for continuous deployment. Do the following: - Run tests on every pull request (unit, integration, linting) - Build and tag Docker image with commit SHA and latest - Push to container registry (I'll tell you which one) - Deploy to production on merge to main (zero-downtime rolling deploy) - Rollback trigger if health check fails post-deploy - Slack notification on deploy success or failure - Secrets management using GitHub Secrets (never hardcoded) - Cache node_modules / pip dependencies between runs Format as a complete .github/workflows/deploy.yml with comments explaining every job and step. My stack and registry: [PASTE HERE]"

    @ndrewpignanelli issue on your end? "The security CI check failed with: "The job was not started because recent account payments have failed or your spending limit needs to be increased." This is a GitHub Actions billing issue on the Cofounder-Customer-Projects org account."

    WHY ******** IS @github GIVING ME INTERNAL ERROR WHEN IM TRYING TO REVIEW CODE????? STOP BLOCKING ME FROM DOING MY WORK DAMN!!!! FUUUUUUUUCK

    Ilias Haddad (@IliasHaddad3) reported

    I made it open source, and many people love it and find it useful. I started iterating by listening to bug reports, user feedback, and requests on GitHub. After a couple of calls with people about Edit Mind. Users wanna desktop app to reduce the friction of setting up a Docker service and managing the server themself.

    @AnthropicAI I cant upgrade my pro plan to max, the payment has been failing on 3 different cards. This issue had been already been raised on github and your reddit. FIx this.

    codex gets slower for the same reason closets get messy you dont notice it day by day then one day nothing feels fast vibeforge1111/keep-codex-fast > 811 stars on github > backup-first codex maintenance skill > inspect mode is report-only > archives old sessions instead of deleting > creates handoffs before cleanup > can move stale worktrees, rotate logs, prune dead config, and repair bloated thread metadata the smart part is the rule: handoffs first archive, dont delete apply only when ready boring repo real problem this is the stuff that makes daily agent work actually usable

    @dexhorthy Define “this”. If this == GitHub issue, then you Klankär can do 20k commits a day doing these till the heat death of the universe. If this == software with scientific component, non-trivial infra and UI… well…. yeah, nobody figured that out.

    @grhmc Yep, known GitHub footgun. Terrible "feature".

    Crossed 860 GitHub stars on lean-ctx. Wild that something I built to fix my own token bill is now used by thousands of devs.

    @GergelyOrosz True, the brand is damaged. But GitHub Copilot's edge has faded too since 2023. Cursor and others passed it. So maybe the whole Microsoft AI approach is the real issue, not just branding.

    Joris Mak bsky: @jorismak.nl (@MakJoris) reported

    @ryanvogel most harnas these days write it in separate files wright? vscode keeps it memory somewhere in your user preferences (even gets sync'ed to Github I imagine?). And other 'memory stuff' gets written down to rules. And rules now have a heading when to load them in or not.

  • albursavi
    Mehmet Yildiz (@albursavi) reported

    @AbhiCodes15 AI-powered product should be harder to achieve that, why would I pay for your tool likely using an API I can get for cheaper; the exact question people are asking to MS right now about GitHub Copilot changes. Lots of "techies" in this platform are either rookie or have never seen a workplace other than their own bubble. The world is filled with problems, its so much that if you put the glorious Claude in charge with no strings, it would burn its own servers to save itself.

    GitHub is down again. PR broken. Goodluck to everyone who has to push out a hot fix to production because reviews are borked

  • AIonBase_
    AI on Base (@AIonBase_) reported

    AI of the week: @gitlawb GitHub’s 90-day uptime dropped below 90% in late April, as PR and search kept breaking. GitHub is owned by Microsoft after a $7.5B acquisition. One company now sits on a huge chunk of the world’s code workflow. When it breaks, the whole code pipeline feels it. Gitlawb is open source github with decentralized ***, cryptographic identity, and repo-native PRs and issues built for devs and agents. It already has 1.9K+ repos, 1.7K+ agents, and 3 live nodes. How Gitlawb is decentralized and what that changes 👇🏻 GitHub keeps the repo and PR system on one platform. Gitlawb moves both closer to *** itself, then lets nodes host the network. > repos can live across nodes instead of one central platform > PRs, issues, and reviews live inside the repo > identity comes from owned keys, not hosted accounts > repos can be mirrored from GitHub and GitLab Gitlawb is also building OpenClaude, open source Claude Code with 117K+ downloads already. Open source github, decentralized ***, and open source Claude Code — one stack built for humans and agents.

    Mitchell Hashimoto (GitHub user #1,299, daily for 18 years) is moving Ghostty - his 50k-star project - off GitHub for good. 'I want to ship software, and it doesn't want me to ship software.' He kept a journal for a month, marking an X every day a GitHub outage blocked his work. Almost every day got an X. April uptime is allegedly ~86%. AI agents are getting the blame. Who follows him out?

    Hermes Agent tip 7 is trending in the last 24 hours on GitHub Trending and Reddit. It is called Self-Improving Skills from Experience. The claim says up to 10X automation overnight, but results vary. Track success rate, errors, and time saved.

    📊 The 3 primitives that cause the most production pain: 1. Multi-tenancy: MLflow has no isolated-environment model per tenant. GitHub issue #5844. Open 4 years. By design. 2. Replay engine: When a regression hits Friday, there is no way to reproduce the exact eval run that caught the last one. 3. Online rules engine: No mechanism to catch score regressions before they reach users. Eval is post-hoc, not continuous. These are not missing features. They are architectural scope decisions correct for a library.

    @Google patched a maximum-severity issue in #Gemini CLI and the run-gemini-cli @github Action. Gemini CLI trusted project files are automatically run in CI/CD. If those files were malicious, the tool could execute commands without a real human review. See advisory in first comment.

    @txgermanbre Careful with MCP servers developed by randos on Github...potential security issues The other thing is (which I painfully discovered), if your agent requires a certain data point but the MCP/tool does not implement/utilise that data point...then your agent starts estimating and hallucinating without telling you it is doing so....confidently lying. If there is an API, you can probably vibe code your own MCP...at least you know exactly what its doing

    @byteHumi A big part of major code maintainers leaving GitHub is due to lowered quality of PRs it's a more generalized problem though, wondering if a threshold PR quality to qualify as contribution needs to be the norm.

    GitHub desperately needs to fix comments. Comments were supposed to be a space for humans to discuss code but now they are just hooks for robots to talk to each other or for humans to call the robots in.
