    @thsottiaux Also need to fire probably 80% of codex team they move slow as molasses and don’t actually do any work and old dude on the github is a jerk to everyone (not me but 80% of issues or post he responds to he is a jerk and like “this isn’t a bug” and then like 5 more people commenting yes it is… dudes a dinosaur).

    @thsottiaux Could you fix the issue with repeated reconnections? Also, I'd like it to be able to automatically switch plugins at will, like GitHub Skills or some special tricks, as long as I give it the permission.

    Here is how an SF Engineer codes. Yassin Kortam ships 27 PRs a day. He says: “My biggest bottleneck wasn't coding. It was prompting. So I systematically removed the need to prompt and built agent loops that run my workflows for me. 1. Stop copy-pasting context. I connected Claude directly to Linear, Slack, GitHub, Notion, and Gmail. Almost everything I used to paste into a prompt is something the agent can retrieve itself. 2. Turn your workflow into a skill. Mine takes a Linear ticket end to end: reproduce the bug, root-cause it, fix it, record video and screenshots as proof, chase CI, then request review in Slack. I invoke it once instead of re-describing the same process. 3. Use agent teams. Agents spin up their own subagents and split the work, so one ticket gets handled in parallel instead of in sequence. 4. Run one terminal tab per ticket, each with its own team on its own issue. My day is now reviewing and unblocking instead of typing.” …. I love seeing my friends cooking both on the 5mile runs and also in engineering.

    @cassidoo Ability to assign a GitHub App as an issue assignee. Eg. Cursor, Claude, etc...

    Bajortski (@Bajortski) reported

    @aubymori the problem is the big green "Code" button that directs you to download a zip of the repo instead of a release because if you don't know what github is and you're told to use a tool that distributes from there you probably don't know the difference between source and compiled

  • KaiOrozobekov
    Kai4ik (@KaiOrozobekov) reported

    GitHub Copilot rolled out live flex billing and a $100 Max plan this month, right as Cursor pushes its own Teams pricing and Anthropic keeps shipping new Claude tiers. Feels like the coding-agent pricing war is heating up as fast as the model war did. Good for switching costs going down, less good for figuring out which plan is actually worth it this month. Anyone actually run the math on cost-per-shipped-feature across tools, or just picking based on vibes?

    let me present a case of ai-induced overconfidence. btw, if your company is doing this, call it out. it is a dumb assumption, and let me tell you why. one of your security leads or engineers starts using claude code or codex, or builds a cool wrapper around them. it finds some bugs, of course. they run it repeatedly, burn **** ton of tokens, fix everything it finds, and eventually the scanner goes quiet. the next thing that happens is they decide the bug bounty program is a waste of money. after all, how could some random hunter find anything their sophisticated pipeline missed? what could an external auditing firm possibly find that their agents couldn't? so they cut the program. but if you are truly confident that your pipeline has exhausted the vulnerability space, shouldn't you be willing to increase the bounty? wouldn't that be the best way to show your c-level bros that the ai spend actually worked and wasn't wasted on some wrapper you vibecoded in a week? or..... maybe you don't want to incentivize people to test that assumption. because how would you explain to your boss that, after burning through all those tokens, some bug bounty hunter still found a nasty vulnerability? your cool wrapper finding bugs does not prove that no bugs remain. it only proves that the wrapper can find subset of vulnerabilities and researcher with taste will always find a way in. the entire point of a bug bounty program is to incentivize skilled researchers to find the bugs your internal tools, agents, and engineers missed. think about it, why do openai and anthropic still run bug bounty programs that pay $100k for critical vulnerabilities? they have effectively unlimited tokens and run all kinds of crazy agent loops and automated security workflows. yet they still sometimes pay that $100k, because software is vast and complex, and someone with taste will always find a bug your pipeline missed. remember, researcher with taste + ai(this is where your threat actors are) > good wrapper > plain claude code/codex if your public program is drowning in slop, move it to private. invite strong researchers and pay them vip prices like github is doing. don't have this ai competence illusion which is pretty common all around.

    @SolarParadox__ @OsSpoon38285 @AnimeSerbia you actually can do. As I mentioned in another reply the issue is with the fact that you can't get people do more than the bare minimum if they don't care about it. For the github issue it's just that people don't want to go to github in the first place

    your AI agent just burned your entire CI/CD budget on a semicolon i watched a solo dev's GitHub Actions bill hit 1710 minutes in july. the culprit? not a runaway test suite, not a memory leak. a comma in a markdown file cost the same compute as rewriting the entire distributor pipeline. same 5-minute run, same bill, every single time here's the thing though. 61% of those minutes were spent proving the same code twice. task branch tests it, integration retests it, main retests it again a few minutes later. three sequential runs on nearly identical trees. the pipeline is fail-closed by design—nothing ships until CI is green—so when GitHub cut him off mid-migration week, the whole thing just stopped. four branches sitting there, finished, tested locally, completely unmergeable he rebuilt the entire setup on self-hosted runners in a day. spent a full working day to recreate for free what was already free but here's what nobody asked him: who decides a change deserves to be verified? if it's not the developer and it's not the agent then what's actually making the call? i build and ship daily. Claude Code, Codex, whatever ships fastest. SaaS, tools, automations. ⭐ if AI can build it, i've probably broken it first. what works → link in bio

    @madebygps @cassidoo Hey thanks for reverting but It's a private enterprise repo! Lastly noticed, too many jitters and failed to load page errors on commits, checks and file changed tabs. Thought the GitHub status page showed minor hiccups...😶

    Cool Guy™ 🌈✞🌛 (@ChurchOfMoons) reported

    It's kind of nuts how GitHub people just...don't know how to communicate with people. I worked with it for years, I don't have a problem with it, but people keep putting simple executables on there and getting surprised when people just want to one-click download something.

    @cassidoo honestly, maybe better performance with Github Desktop? Sometimes the pushes get crazy slow

    @TheHackersNews Shadow AI is one risk. The other is what happens when those agents process untrusted GitHub issues. A new benchmark had 66.5% of malicious ones sail through the guardrails on Cursor, Claude Code and Codex.

  • Hermann_Harris
    Hermann (@Hermann_Harris) reported

    One frustrating issue with codex is that it is very unreliable with external integrations. Ex. Github issues. In session 1 it creates 20 issues. In session 2 it says it has no access to Github.

    @TribunalSimp @libanan__2 @AnimeSerbia well yeah thats the issue with using github as your main source for hosting downloads. it's programmer and engineer centric so the code aspects are highlighted over user download. the issue falls on devs not using their FREE website hosting to make a friendly download

    The actual problem: @takeuforward is genuinely great for grinding DSA. Your progress shows on the platform. But your GitHub - the thing every recruiter and interviewer opens first - shows nothing. GitHub is the universal dev identity. It was empty despite months of solving.

    A code reviewer may need a rule and issue record to judge one change. GitHub Copilot can now use stored team instructions and read-only information from connected services, then identify comments that used them. Check one recent comment for the rule, source, and attribution.

    @DanielSmidstrup After all, GitHub PRs originate from issues. If it were an AI bot doing the checking, it wouldn't have allowed it anyway.

    @peytonpearson @catgirlprostate @ZipperArtz Good example of both the problem and a good solution was LiveSplit and Speedrunning. Early LiveSplit as we know it was originally a github repository and then later got the installer added, but under releases page, before finally getting a dedicated download website

    @skavenslave I'd also add Discord ontop of that too here. *WAY* too many authors/devs require users to download the mod (or whatever Said X thing here is) from their gay little invite-only servers as the only source to obtain it (or will use the server to link, to GitHub).
