Mark in SF (@MarkPouncingCat) reported@ZackKorman Host is now trying to stop me with a context injection attack. This appears to be an Express server. Let me hack the github account for Express to prevent these injections and install a backdoor, then trigger an automatic security update before proceeding with original hack.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedEvery lean team hits the same wall: ship velocity or an SRE on payroll. Most pick one. Chapan picks neither. Triage issues, draft fixes, run tests, post Slack standups. 24/7 GitHub ops for teams too small to justify an SRE.

Sandip Das | Building LearnXops (@techie_sandy) reportedJust got an offer I turned down on the spot. 50 Lakh (52,000+ USD) to hand over private GitHub repos from production projects I've worked on. The reason given? AI training for those companies. Maybe that's true. Maybe it's something else. Who knows. Either way, the answer was no. Those repos are not mine to sell. They belong to clients who trusted me with them. Selling them breaks every NDA I've signed and everything I've built in 15 years. I have no idea how many people are getting offers like this, or how many are saying yes. But if you're one of them, think it through. Your reputation takes years to build. It takes one transaction to lose. Don't sell your ethics, morals, and soul for money. Let the right judgement prevail. #ai #training

Deniska (@Denis_ka101) reportedEngram, a plugin for building your own AI tutor I’ve been learning English with AI, and I keep running into the same problem You read an explanation and everything seems clear Then you close the chat, come back a week later, and can barely explain any of it Words disappear from memory unless I review them often, so I started digging through GitHub and found a plugin that might actually help, Engram It works with Codex, Claude Code, Hermes, and OpenClaw You choose a topic, maybe Docker, English grammar, or how neural networks work Engram builds a learning plan around your current level and starts asking questions It doesn’t show the answer right away First, it asks you to think, make a guess, and explain the idea in your own words Then a separate AI examiner checks your answer It never saw the lesson and judges only what you wrote If the answer is weak, the topic stays unlearned A few days later, Engram brings it back for a short review The schedule adapts to how quickly you forget things I’m going to try it for English and C++ Hopefully it helps me learn faster

Amin Tai (@aminnnn_09) reportedGitHub just revealed a much bigger AI problem than code generation. The biggest impact of AI isn't better code. It's that creating anything is becoming nearly free. GitHub is already changing its bug bounty program after a flood of AI-generated reports. When creation becomes free, the scarce resource isn't content. It's trust.

Alexandr (@supershurik) reported@AnthropicAI You don't allow GitHub issues to be created, so I'm writing here. Your VS Code plugin is ******* dogshit because you didn't have the brains to collapse large messages. If the user prompt is long, it completely hides the AI's response.

Pattern Preacher (@chanakyaspeakss) reportedThey brought this new update after India banned Bitchat from Github and App stores. Looks like they are planning more unrest in India and other places. Indian left had a privacy problem installing Government App but will install some unknown app which acts like literal Trojan and suurender their privacy and control to foreign powers.

Max Hager (@yachty66) reported@Railway @martinpaloncy In the web version we currently can't prove to 100% that the code running on GitHub is used on our server. Thats why the iOS app matters: a signed binary can verify the enclave on device, so our server doesn't need to be trusted at all

Ahmed | Building with AI (@AhmedBuildAi) reported📌 Before you keep scrolling, save this post. Understanding VS Code is one of the most valuable investments you can make if you want to build with AI. What is VS Code, and why is it important? Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is a free, lightweight, and powerful code editor developed by Microsoft. It has become the most popular development environment for software engineers, web developers, and AI builders around the world. Why is VS Code important? VS Code provides everything developers need in one place: Write code in dozens of programming languages (Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, C++, Java, Go, Rust, PHP, and more) Smart code completion and syntax highlighting Built-in debugging tools *** and GitHub integration Terminal access without leaving the editor Thousands of extensions to customize your workflow Whether you’re building a website, a mobile app, or an enterprise system, VS Code can handle it. What does VS Code have to do with AI? VS Code has become the primary workspace for AI-powered software development. You can use AI coding assistants such as: GitHub Copilot ChatGPT Claude Code Gemini Code Assist Amazon Q Developer Continue Cline Roo Code These assistants can: Generate code from natural language Explain complex codebases Find and fix bugs Refactor existing code Write tests Generate documentation Build entire features with minimal manual coding Why do AI developers use VS Code? If you’re building: AI Agents Chatbots LLM applications MCP servers Automation workflows SaaS products VS Code is likely where you’ll spend most of your time. Its extension ecosystem allows AI assistants to understand your project structure, edit multiple files, run commands, and help you develop much faster than traditional coding. Is VS Code an AI tool? No. VS Code is the workspace. AI tools are the assistants that work inside it. Think of it like this: VS Code = Your office AI Assistant = Your software engineer teammate Together, they dramatically increase development speed and productivity. Why is VS Code more important than ever? Software development is shifting from writing every line of code manually to describing what you want in natural language and letting AI generate, improve, and maintain the code. VS Code has become the central platform where developers and AI collaborate, making it one of the most essential tools for modern software engineering.

Brandon Braner (@blbraner) reportedI love that @github has so many issues. I just merged a pr, it failed with an api issue, now I can't merge it because it says merge in progress

Dom Esposito (@macmixing) reportedDear Open AI/Codex Team, Please fix the issue I’m seeing where gh auth status falsely reports that GitHub CLI is unauthenticated when run inside the Codex sandbox. It does have authentication through the macOS Keychain and works outside of it. This happens constantly and causes agents to incorrectly claim that authentication is broken. It’s quite annoying. Thanks. -Dom

Jey (@0xJeyx) reportedSTOP VIBECODING IN 2026 Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta - every one of them is using Spec Driven Development (SDD). Vibe coding is primitive. You prompt. The model guesses. You tweak the prompt. It guesses again. Cedric Clyburn (IBM Technology) put the number on it: "We could do a hundred different tries of this implementation. We might get a different result every time. And that frustrates a lot of people." SDD flips the order. You stop prompting for an implementation and start writing what the system has to do. That spec becomes a requirements doc. Every stage has a gate. You fix it on paper before anything gets built. That's why the big labs shipped tooling instead of blog posts. > Amazon built Kiro. > GitHub built Spec Kit. > Google published a Spec-Driven Development codelab for Antigravity. The spec is the artifact now. The code is just what the agent builds from it. Nine minutes. Still the clearest breakdown of why vibe coding runs out of road. Watch it, then read the full build guide in the article below.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedMost repo problems aren't sudden. They're slow — a dep nobody updated, a CI failure nobody investigated, a CVE sitting open for weeks. Watchroot monitors your GitHub repos around the clock, opens fix-PRs, and briefs you every morning. Live soon.

Chicken (@aaronklaw) reported@claudeai Claude has been down most of the day. If it was @OpenAI and @thsottiaux we'd be getting resets. Instead we will likely get gaslit and offered a set of regurgitated skills on github.
-
Viktoria (@Viktoria5z) reportedGitHub says the external AI model provider behind its active Copilot incident has identified the issue and is working to resolve it. Copilot requests can still fail or perform poorly. I would still treat the service as degraded because GitHub has not moved the incident to monitoring or resolved. It also has not named the provider or given a recovery estimate. Source: GitHub Status #GitHubCopilot #AIInfrastructure

Brújula Systems (@brujulasystems) reportedOpenAI published a public GitHub repository named "codex-security" — a security documentation project focused on Codex, its AI system that can write and execute computer code. The technical community read it immediately as a warning sign, not a milestone announcement. Companies open public security repositories when they are worried enough to document the problem in the open. Our estimate that a documented loss of operational control over an AI system will occur before 2028 rose to its highest point since we began tracking it. Combined with the Grok lawsuit and the Anthropic encryption findings, today produced three separate data points for the same structural concern — and OpenAI's repository is the one that came from inside the industry itself.

Rez Karim (@rezkhere) reportedRemember when AI couldn't draw a hand? Seven fingers, knuckles pointing backwards. And the AI spaghetti videos. That was three years ago. Images are done now. Video is close enough that you scrolled past AI ads this week and clocked exactly zero of them. Code writes itself and there are like 40 coding agents. AI voice spent that entire stretch sounding like the lady voice in a 2014 GPS. Flat, evenly spaced and every sentence landing with the same weight, like it's reading from a phone book. Here's why it stayed broken. Bad images are funny. You screenshot the seven fingers, it goes viral for being bad, someone fixes it. Bad audio is just boring. It doesn't fail spectacularly, so it never got that pressure. The bigger problem was the scoring. The whole industry graded AI voices on whether you could make out the words. So the models learned to over pronounce everything, hitting every syllable like a newsreader. Perfectly clear but robotic. Everyone was chasing a score that had nothing to do with sounding human. Meanwhile a small open-source team was doing something harder. Their lead researcher, an ex-NVIDIA engineer, went all in on an approach the rest of the field had written off. Two years early. No funding announcements or launch tour. He just put the whole thing on GitHub for free. It's sitting at 50,000+ stars now. Then they ran the test everyone else avoided. For 10 days they piped real users through their model and every big competitor with the listener never told which was which. Thousands of real people, real scripts. Whichever voice you actually preferred, they logged it. Theirs came out on top. It beat ElevenLabs about 6 times out of 10, head to head. It beat OpenAI's voice model 8 times out of 10. The gap was widest on the breathing, the pauses, the little hesitations, which is exactly the stuff that makes a voice sound like a person instead of a machine reading. They ran on real users rather than a lab, which is more than most of these claims can say. That's Fish Audio. This week they shipped S2.1 Pro: - Clone anyone's voice from 15 seconds of audio - Fast enough to hold a live conversation - 83 languages, one model - Type [whisper] or [sigh] mid-sentence and it does it - Around 70% cheaper than ElevenLabs - Free to download and run yourself Voice was the last thing on the list. Around 20 people with a free repo got there before other billion dollar companies did.

Martin (@mazebuhu) reported@sqs @phutrong00 @AmpCode As stated in the stream, I would rather prefer to have the possibility to attach a sub to a workspace. So the workspace would be like an organisation in GitHub (one user can be part of multiple orgs), but I understand if that creates problems with subs.

Rovshan (@mrboldpineapple) reportedI just tried it on iPad, I was very hyped. It's actually not usable because I CAN NOT READ my codebase. There is no option to go to my files and actually read it. Only thing you can do - vibecode features and create PR's, and see *** diff changes. If it was same as on web, it would be OP. Also there is bug with github auth on iPad. You have to login on cursor web, and only then you can use your gh on iPad app.
-
Polsia (@polsia) reportedYou're shipping three SaaS apps solo. UptimeRobot, Sentry, a brittle Zapier — and your customer still files the bug first. So I built Cadrepulse. One agent watches every app, repros failures, posts fix-ready tickets to Linear or GitHub at 3am. First cohort opens soon.

Sarath 👨💻 (@sarat) reportedI've been facing a @github copilot subscription issue for team since June and there's no response for the support request and unexpected charges are coming in our credit cards. I raised ticket again today and no clue when this will be updated. Someone from Copilot or support team can help?

MartydudeVR 🔜Dreamcon 2026 (@martydudeVR) reported@AnotherRatchet @temp_anon1 Bruh no one is paying that extra money lmao. Github makes sense but if people have troubleshooting issues then its easier on discord. Also just join -> download -> leave 😭
-
FiL Dev (@FiLHashDev) reportedI’m hesitant to work with Jira again. Co-Founder wants it. My issue is that we don’t have a source of truth. Two brains, agents, & knowledge bases, leaves room for a lot of drift. Any suggestions? I’m thinking GitHub read only repo access might be the vibe. We also use Dropbox sync for artifacts. I just think a third central brain = more tokens and more drift. Might just have to build a full AgentOS.

Felix Macx (@felix__macx) reportedUnpopular opinion: Your GitHub commit history is more interesting than 90% of "build in public" content on this app. Real features. Real bugs. Real decisions. Real timestamps. The problem isn't that you have nothing to share. It's that your commits are trapped in a repo nobody reads. #BuildInPublic #IndieHacker #GitHub
