  What are people using now other then #GitHub? #GitLab has proven to be too slow, constantly throttled on their cloud and don't have local servers to host, or desire. What supports high throughput planning, live artifacts, tracking thought process along with code, and rapid pr/mr/commit?

  @ZechaoZheng The GitHub CI would be redundant at this point. The local tests are sufficient. The local checks are also necessary because they are part of the feedback loop that involves the agents. Putting GitHub into that feedback loop would slow it down.

  @SternabR6 @sophiiess_ Yes I'm exaggerating a bit here, but this is how it would seem to any non-dev that's been tricked into clicking on a github link. No it's not a github issue, but github's UI was NOT designed for the average user either way.

  @RyanRodemoyer2 We're not offering hand-curated github issue descriptions around here lol

  @willmcgugan 💯 I increasingly get conviction on the conclusion that social interactions should not be mediated by automations in any ways. We can of course automate things that use to be social interactions, but we can't disguise them or have them be in the same venues without being clearly marked. For instance, I would love a sort of one liner notification cue somewhere on GitHub that is complete automations of flags of a problem by a user but I get increasingly annoyed by exactly what you are saying.

  @ThePracticalDev why can I login with Google, GitHub, X, etc - but if I choose, say GitHub, I can later only link my Facebook account? What if I want to link my X or Google account later on?

  @patrician_tv which is fine, because anybody with a third of a brain cell will have no issues navigating github

  Your 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)

  2. Case studies, not project cards: A screenshot and a "View on GitHub" button is not proof. Show the problem, your constraints, the decisions you made and why. The result with numbers.

  "I don't prompt Claude anymore. I have loops running that prompt Claude and figure out what to do. My job is to write loops." That's Boris Cherny, who runs Claude Code at Anthropic. The clip pulled something like 700K views in a day because it names a failure mode most of us are stuck in without noticing. If you're watching your agent work, intervening mid-task, and picking up the next step yourself - you've automated the typing, not the judgment. The actual test: does the work continue when you close the laptop? If it only runs while you're at your desk, you built a fancier keyboard shortcut, not a loop. Cherny's own setup: hundreds of Claude instances reading GitHub issues, scanning feedback, and deciding what to build next, without waiting for him to ask. Kind of makes you wonder how much of your own "AI workflow" is still just you in the hot path.

  The most underrated part of the AI coding stack isn’t the model. It’s 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. 🧠 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 doesn’t 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. 🔁 GitHub in the comments 👇

  @McGddson @AnthropicAI They are being honest about their issues. This is how the whole industry learns. You can read this as humble-bragging or just plain humility, depends on how you see Anthropic. They come across as moralistic from time to time so I understand why they may not have earned the benefit of the doubt. OpenAI announced that they had a ChatGPT model break out and hack GitHub earlier this month. The better assumption is that all frontier models are some degree of unsafe, and document the ways in which they are unsafe…those that we are able to detect, anyway.

  Claude Obsidian v2 just dropped. It gives Claude a perfect memory. For free. It's an open source plugin for Claude Code. MIT license. On GitHub right now. Here's how it works: → Drop any file into an inbox folder → Claude reads it, links it, and files it forever → Every claim keeps its source. Ask a question, get an answer with citations from YOUR notes → If the vault doesn't know, it says so. No making things up The problem it kills: AI wakes up as a goldfish every morning. You re-teach it your business. Every. Single. Day. Now your knowledge compounds instead of disappearing. The old way: 5 hours a week playing librarian. This way: 2 minutes. Your agents file everything for you. Setup takes 10 minutes. The plugin is free. Obsidian is free. Save this before you forget it. Your AI won't. Want the SOP? DM me. 💬

  @kat_after @sophiiess_ That's not really an issue with github itself, though. If you look at gitlab or bitea, for example, you find pretty similar interfaces to github because they're all optimized for coding first design-wise. So, precompiled software is kind of an afterthought.
