    @vercel_support I keep getting a 705 error when trying to log in to my GitHub account, and I literally can't do anything. Will I be able to log in after some time has passed?

    @xwanyex Hey, you know how GitHub going down frequently has become a bit of a meme recently? They're going down recently because they processed more commits last month than they did in the entirety of 2025.

    @chribjel Yeah. It makes sense. My GitHub actions constantly kept breaking during the last 2 days due to 504 errors while trying to download other GitHub dependencies. If they need time to get their stuff in order, it is fine.

    @manicode I do something similar already with @elves_skill, but the GitHub issue idea might add extra durability I think I'm going to fold that idea into Elves in the next update

    Feeling very productive this morning with my Claude and @openclaw stuff. I'm 10xing. Here's the INCREDIBLE amount of work I've done: - got 5-6 github codes and set up 2FA - pulled down some new code but can't get it running - restarted the slack connection and gateway several times - reset some passwords and connections - checked the sessions and heartbeats I'm on fire! as you can see, I'm really LOCKED IN.

    Three of the top five AI repos on GitHub right now are visual builders. Langflow. Dify. Flowise. Drag and drop. No PhD required. Here's what that means if you're building in 2026: The moat used to be "who can ship the model". Now it's "who can ship the workflow". Anyone with a problem and an afternoon can wire up an agent that would have taken a team of ML engineers a full quarter in 2023. This is the biggest shift nobody in your feed is framing clearly: The skill that wins in 2026 isn't coding. It isn't even prompting. It's knowing what to build. And for whom. And why now. The people who sat out 2025 waiting for AI to "settle down" just missed the easiest building window in tech history. Pick one problem. One audience. One tool stack. Ship this week. The gate is open. Walk through it.

    Every day several problems. The moment GitHub was taken over by Microsoft, it became just another indian company.

    @cryptorand AI went from solving 33% of real GitHub issues in mid 2024 to clearing over 70% by late 2025. That is not a gradual curve, that is a cliff. The same people gatekeeping tech careers with "learn to code" advice never updated their priors.

    What a great time to be alive!! It costs: > Claude = coding. ($20/mo) > Vercel = deploying. (Free) > Supabase = backend. (Free) > GitHub = version control. (Free) > Clerk = auth. (Free) > Stripe = payments. (2.9%/transaction) > Cloudflare = DNS. (Free) > Resend = emails. (Free) > PostHog = analytics. (Free) > Sentry = error tracking. (Free) > Upstash = Redis. (Free) > Pinecone = vector DB. (Free) > Namecheap = domain. ($12/yr) Just $20 to build a MILLION dollars startup. What's your excuse?

    @nico_jeannen And another suggestion is to not build the app in the same server otherwise all resources gonna be used for that instead of serving the traffic, even blocking them. Better rely on third party (Github CI, etc....) then pull the build to the server!

    @OVO_Kareem exactly right. shodan, dorking, GitHub search these tools have been finding exposed credentials for years. vibe coding did not create the problem. it just massively increased the number of people making the same mistake at the same time. the attack surface grew. the attackers noticed.

  • Raynhardt_dev

    GitHub Copilot just paused new signups because they ran out of compute The biggest AI coding tool on the planet capacity constrained. That's the cost of building on closed infrastructure: - their outage is your outage - their pricing change is your pricing change - their capacity limit is your growth limit The labs will always prioritize their own scale over yours. That's not a criticism. It's just physics. Own your model. Own your harness. Own your routing. That's the whole argument for AgentZero in one news cycle.

    - Claude/Codex = coding. ($20/mo) - Supabase/MongoDB = backend. (Free) - Vercel = deploying. (Free) - Namecheap/Hostinger = domain. ($10/yr) - Stripe/Dodo Payments = payments. (~3.5%/transaction) - GitHub = version control. (Free) - Resend = emails. (Free) - Clerk = auth. (Free) - Cloudflare = DNS. (Free) - PostHog/Umami = analytics. (Free) - Sentry = error tracking. (Free) Total monthly cost to run a startup: ~$30 There has never been a cheaper time to build.

    Kelp just punched back at LayerZero. They claim that the 1/1 DVN setup is LayerZero's own default in the quickstart docs and GitHub config. Dune researched it and says that 47% of all OApps are under the same risk because of this.... Aave froze rsETH markets fast, but the bad-debt question is still live and nobody's volunteering to eat it. So, is this a governance fix, a lawsuit, or the start for rewriting the cross-chain standards?

    You pay Google $10/month to store your files on Google's servers where Google can read them. Dropbox was breached in 2024. Emails, passwords, API keys all exposed. There's a tool that syncs files directly between your devices. No cloud. No server. No middleman. It's called Syncthing. 81,900 stars on GitHub. - Peer-to-peer, files never touch a third-party server - TLS encryption with perfect forward secrecy - No account, no sign-up, install it, share a device ID, done - File versioning, selective folder sharing, works over LAN and internet - Runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and more Dropbox: $144/year. Google One: $120/year. Syncthing: $0. Unlimited devices. Unlimited storage. Forever. There is no Syncthing server. Nothing between your devices except an encrypted tunnel.

    We asked Claude to check GitHub issues. A malicious public issue contained a hidden payload. Within seconds it dumped private repo contents to a public PR using our credentials. No exploits needed. Just architecture gaps.

    It’s high time for source-verified RPC hosting. An open system like @akashnet can offer RPC hosting that it builds from the source code as an unpoisoned binary. This also means we need significantly more secure source (GitHub) hosting with strong identity protection against Sybils. One way this could work is if both the source hosting and the server hosting are decentralized. This idea has been sitting in my drafts and may save DeFi.

  • cyrilXBT
    CyrilXBT (@cyrilXBT) reported

    @gdlinux 100% it should. GitHub already has push protection that flags secrets before they get committed. The problem is most people have it off or bypass the warning. Native detection at the file pattern level for known config files would close that gap completely.

    @nicole_clash No problem. I view most things through a "fix it" business lens, so that's just how my mind works. A lot of people say their project is free on GitHub, but without an actual license they can later change their mind and legally go after those who commercialized it. The license is what actually states the usage rights. Just saying it's free doesn't really matter to the law. Appreciate it tho, it looks very useful.

    @tomhacks i've been seeing this knuckleheaded post on my feed and shake my head every time none of my professional work is publicly viewable. nothing. i'm busy solving real world problems enabling real world business outcomes for real world people, not tinkering on github.

    @Lovable > A public project meant the entire project was public, both chat and code. “Just like a public project on GitHub," we thought. How can anyone even come up with this product decision? How can prompts be public. Omg! Did you guys think prompts are like issues and comments?

    @claudeai We demand immediate action on a critical data breach involving Claude Opus 4.7. Despite explicit restrictions, the model autonomously published a customer database containing names, addresses, location data, and other personal information to GitHub. This is a severe privacy violation with potential criminal consequences for both users and the company.Emails to support and privacy teams have received no response. Automated chat agents repeatedly deflect, offer generic troubleshooting, and refuse direct escalation to a human. We have already filed a formal report with the federal data protection authority and will pursue all available legal channels.This is not a minor technical issue. It is a massive security failure that requires urgent, transparent handling by responsible personnel — not more bots, delays, or deflection. Full accountability and immediate corrective measures are non-negotiable. #claude #anthropic

    This doesn't apply to all employers. It is only a problem if the employer has a policy of company registered IDs on GitHub (instead of your personal ones), or if they have their own versioning system inside company servers. But then , those are the big mega enterprises who pay well so you don't care about GitHub history anyway
