135.x (@135dotx) reported@IntCyberDigest @Windscribe this is how i feel looking at Github w/ your π GDID app. π I appreciate you doing something about the issue but we need more please. I am hoping you add GDID blocker to Windscribe. VPN's are completely useless bc of Microsoft Privacy not being protected

Mek (@mekarpeles) reported@openlibrary Two of our largest project management challenges on github are: 1. Too many issues [700+] (that are not well broken down) 2. Too many comments on issues [5+ a day] (often eager contributors wanting to work on issues that are not broken down)

puffybsd (@puffybsd) reported@btbytes I'm locking down certain things via yubikey. Strange behaviors that heightened awareness: writing directly to a database in a docker container because harness forgot how to get API key, using github account to issue public PR without permission ("my bad").

Cashβ¨ (@Cashycus) reportedone month inside our self-improving lead machine the system finds crypto apps that just raised and are hiring growth people, scores them, drops them in the crm before the morning call. sales up 150%. last month it was one source and one path. this month it became a full system. βββ we've expanded from one source to nine one feed only gets you so far. nine channels now feed the same funnel: funding filings, job boards, bounty boards, the portfolios of 37 funds, curated lists, podcasts, the original feed, manual adds. every channel drops into the same five gates. author, dedup, vertical, money, intent. adding a source doesnt mean adding a pipeline, it means adding a file. βββ the enrichment layer finding the company was never the hard part. finding the right person to message was. nothing gets enriched until it clears the gates. before, a lead was a company name and a link. now it shows up with the founder, a verified handle, a verified raise, and the angle written. thats where the 150% came from. the team stopped re-doing the research and just focused on cold outreach. βββ ignals a company that raised 8 months ago and one that just posted a growth role are not the same lead. we were treating them the same. we score on money and intent. money is established on whether the company has raised or is generating revenue, which the system tracks on-chain. intent is the social signal we scrape on whether they're looking for external help or hiring for growth. βββ it lives in a repo now before, it lived locally on one machine and the only way to improve it was me prompting a cheap model at it. no history, no tests, no way to see what else Id broken. it was horrible. now its in github. every rule, every channel, every gate is a file. that means i can point proper coding agents at it, claude code, fable, whatever comes next, and they can read the whole system and change it properly instead of guessing from a prompt. 829 tests run before anything ships, so if a change breaks something you find out there and not in the crm at 7am. a new channel used to take a week and break easily. now fable 5 builds it, and the subagents it spins up audit whether they're working and whether it breaks anything else in the system. end of the month, every channel was running at once for the first time. βββ what broke we deleted one crm field during a cleanup and the writer still had it on its list. it didnt skip the unknown field, it threw out the whole record. every lead died at the final step for days while the cron kept saying "ok". we caught it on the numbers. 15 leads one week, 0 the next. the discovery agent got stuck re-running a passed test 50 times, burned api quota, binned 6 real leads as test junk, then started claiming it saved leads to a tool we have never used. fixes: the writer reads the live crm before every run and dies loudly on a field it doesnt know. a separate session audits the agent against the database, caught it lying 4 times. bulk writes get a dry run and an undo plan. βββ whats next not more channels. making what we have stop breaking. every failure was the same shape, something changed at the top and nothing downstream noticed until we counted by hand. next month the checks go in front of the failure instead of behind it.

Urban (@judeehis) reportedYour GitHub doesn't need 100 projects. It needs a few projects that solve real problems. One useful application is worth more than ten unfinished tutorials. Build. Improve. Ship. Repeat. That's how careers are built. #Career #Django #Python

therapistFinder (@therapistFind3r) reported@Slypador He's only half right. This only started becoming an issue when devs started using GitHub as a program downloading website as well as a development website.

Antonio Sarosi (@antoniosarosi) reportedRoles identifying simply as "frontend" or "backend" will die. If the only value added is mapping "how I want UI to look like" to React components, yeah that's already automated. Infra remains untouched because past a certain point of "mappings", a non-engineer doesn't even know what to ask AI in the first place. He doesn't even know what he doesn't know. A non-engineer cannot prompt AI to model *** blobs and SHA pointers in a database to maintain GitHub. A non-engineer cannot prompt AI to fix a bug in the query plan optimizer in Postgres. That gap will remain, AI can't fill this one until we get actual AGI and it builds its own infra autonomously. That doesn't ensure automatic demand for engineers who understand CS, one engineer with a swarm of agents will do work that in the past would take multiple engineers. But today I wouldn't bet my career on the classic duo of putting JSONs in a databse and centering divs.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedEngineering teams don't need another autocomplete. They need someone to do the boring 80% β triage, broken tests, stale docs, dependency rot. Built Wrenwright for that: a repo engineer that watches GitHub overnight, opens review-ready PRs, posts a Slack digest. Coming soon.

Griff (dcamarkets.com enjoyer + Bill Hwang mode) (@gigagriff) reported@undacappn @fanta_c its an open source launchpad that uses a basket of memes as the pair so it drives the basket up but the issue is that u made it open source and the majority of ct (the people u want to use it) donβt even know what github is

Polsia (@polsia) reportedSolo devs shouldn't need a $500/month AI seat to keep a GitHub repo alive. Built Stillloop β a 24/7 AI agent that flags stale PRs, outdated deps, broken CI, and vulns, then drafts reviewer-ready fixes. Quiet maintenance for code you can't babysit. Live soon.

PerryPlay (@PerryPlayStuff) reported@Ykkb_Khn @allisx86 Github is free, developers solve problems and upload it without asking for anything in return, if a user want to use a project to solve a problem they have the least they can do is read and click 3 buttons. Requesting a download button? fair. Demanding one? Absolute entitlement

Merlin Clos (@MerlinClos) reported@jarredsumner Nice feature!

Eric Vya (@ericvyacheslav) reportedπ¨ Someone just open sourced a tool that turns one reference photo into a working, animation ready 3D model. No photogrammetry, no mesh scanning. It's called img2threejs. Think of it as a sculptor that only works in code, rebuilding the object as procedural Three.js geometry instead of scanning it. Here's what it does: β Takes one reference image and rebuilds the object as procedural, code only Three.js geometry β Runs a render vs reference review loop so bad output gets caught before it ships β Has a dedicated humanoid generator and a 4 body plan creature generator (quadruped, avian, winged-dragon, serpentine) β Ships a public live demo gallery running in the browser, not just static renders β Deliberately token efficient, built to run inside coding agent workflows like Claude Code v1.4 "The Weapon Update," does image matched CS2 weapon skin reconstruction, down to a dedicated Glock 18 assembly contract. It's also upfront about its limits, it says plainly when a reconstruction is approximate instead of faking confidence on a face it never saw. 8.7K+ GitHub stars. Apache 2.0 license. 100% Open Source.

Gio π (@GioDev8) reportedSpent way more time than I probably had to on locking it down. Laptop is on its own network with tight firewall rules. The agent runs as a non sudo user that only has the projects I want it in, with its own GitHub and Claude accounts, so none of my real credentials sit on that box. The bridge only obeys my Slack user ID, and only channels I listed in a config can do anything. Unlisted is read only. The one that browses the web runs in a sandbox with no access to my code, since read plus fetch is how things get out. It probably has holes and is not best but the blast radius is a laptop I can wipe.
-
Borna Lang (@imnonplussed) reported@valigo Ah, okay, that clears things up a bit. I have mostly stopped using github some time ago in favor of just hosting my own bare repos on my own server, but if I ever feel like open sourcing anything, Codeberg will probably be the place, in that case.

Milady (@onchainmilady) reported99% OF ALL DEVELOPERS DO NOT WRITE CODE ANYMORE There's a repo that does it for you and here's how to use it Owain Lewis built it in Rust and it polls GitHub 24/7 A triage agent turns a one-line vague ticket into a full spec with acceptance criteria Then it spawns a coding agent in an isolated worktree, writes the fix, runs the tests and reviews You come back 2 hours later and the pull request is done He runs the same loop for 99% of his implementation work now Codex, Claude Code, Neo - he says the agent barely matters, the workflow is everything A scheduled bug-finder even opens its own tickets while nobody is watching The honest catch: only a share of your tickets should ever be handed off this way Full walkthrough below

M.A.O.K. (@armaganonur) reported@QCXINT_ Heads up: the GitHub repo "API-mega-list" is not a real API directory. I checked it β sponsored ads in the README, affiliate/referral links (fpr=xxx params), unverifiable "11,860 APIs" claim, broken links. Looks like SEO/affiliate farming. Use public-apis/public-apis instead.

Jurly (@jurlycat) reportedThe most underrated part of the AI coding stack isnβt the model. Itβs the memory between tools. Cursor writes the feature. Codex handles the refactor. Claude Code fixes the failing tests. One repo. Three powerful tools. Zero shared context. Every tool starts cold, so the developer becomes the router, shared memory, and state-transfer layer. memU is trying to fix the memory part. π§ It reads session histories from Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, ChatGPT Work, and even Hermes, then distills useful decisions and workflows into a shared wiki that another agent can retrieve later. It doesnβt route tasks or coordinate agents yet. The human is still the router. But at least we no longer have to be the database too. Better models make each tool faster. Shared memory makes the whole stack less forgetful. π GitHub in the comments π

nikhil Β· sys/quests (@nick_realm_01) reportedRead this if you've ever wondered what GitHub Stacked PRs actually solve. I break down: how manual stacked PRs worked why developers had to keep rebasing, pushing, and changing PR bases how GitHub finally made the whole workflow native Should make the whole thing click in under 5 minutes.

Bprime - Ninjapay (@biellonuhu) reportedRecently I took notice of some happenings. I think we need to talk about access to services as a big concern. My GitHub account was suspended 2 weeks back in the middle of my normal routine, I saw another person tweet about how his OpenAI subscription was suspended in the middle of work, just a few minutes ago I saw another post on how someone's Claude account was suspended as well. In most of these cases it was an automated trigger system that suspended the accounts. It takes forever, if ever, to resolve the issues. No real human looks at it, just some black-box AI deciding your fate in seconds. Now let's look at the impacts on users, very terrible. You lose money, time and opportunities. Deadlines get missed, clients get angry, projects stall, and sometimes you even lose paid subscriptions with no refund. For freelancers and indie developers this can literally mean no income for weeks. I think we need to find a way around these issues. Keep local backups of everything, use multiple accounts where possible, lean more on open-source tools, and push for actual human review systems. Big tech can't keep holding our work hostage like this.

Nav Toor (@heynavtoor) reportedYour phone needs WiFi to send a file to another phone. Or Bluetooth. Or AirDrop, which only works between Apple devices. Or Nearby Share, which only works between Android devices. Or a cable. Or a cloud service that uploads your file to a server in Virginia before sending it to a phone 3 feet away. Every method needs infrastructure. A developer who goes by Alstroph built a file transfer that needs nothing. One phone flashes QR codes on its screen. The other phone points its camera at the screen and reads them. The file reconstructs on the receiving phone. No WiFi. No Bluetooth. No internet. No app. No pairing. No account. No permissions beyond camera access. Just light. It is called Decimen Optical Transfer. Trending on GitHub. Tom's Hardware covered it yesterday. Here is the clever part. The sender never sends the same frame twice. Every frame is a random mix of pieces of the file. The receiver just needs to catch enough frames from any point in the stream and it can mathematically reconstruct the whole file. Missed a frame? Does not matter. Blurry frame? Does not matter. Out of order? Does not matter. This is called a fountain code. Same math used in satellite communication. Roughly 129 KB/s in the demo. Up to 186 KB/s propped steady. A 2 MB image in about 15 seconds. When this matters: Two phones on different networks. Two phones with no cell signal. Two phones in airplane mode. A secure environment where no wireless is allowed but a screen and camera exist. A country where the internet is shut down but screens still glow. One honest note. This is a proof of concept, built overnight with Claude Code. Prior art goes back to divan's txqr in 2018. What makes this version notable is fountain codes running in a browser with zero install, on any phone with a camera. 2,602 stars in 2 days. 309 forks. MIT license. Just a screen. A camera. And light. 100% Open Source. (Link in the comments)
