GitHub Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Techpresso (@techpresso_en) reportedThe issue was revealed through a system prompt found in OpenAI's open-sourced Codex CLI code on GitHub, which explicitly instructed the model to avoid mentioning goblins — a fix after the behavior spiraled out of control in user responses. Source: TheVerge
-
Archimedeis (@Archimedeis27) reported@planefag I think the issue is that github should not be used for hosting products intended for a large user base. It's for code. If you're making something for a lot of people to use make an installer or an exe and put that someplace easy to download from
-
tang | AI Product Maker (@justic_hot) reporteda markdown file named HERMES.md (uppercase) in your *** history can flip claude code off the $200 max plan onto metered API rates. case-sensitive — lowercase hermes.md is fine. github user sasha-id (gh issue 53262) burned $200.98 in overage while 86% of his weekly plan quota was still sitting there unused. claude code feeds recent commits into the system prompt, and the server-side classifier reads the uppercase filename as a third-party harness signal (Hermes Agent uses that exact context filename) and quietly reroutes you to metered. issue is closed, probably patched. on a flat plan, what else in a repo can silently trip the meter?
-
Foy Savas (@foysavas) reported@bcardarella the other killer feature of github was that it got rid of the need to roll your own ssh keys auth for your *** server. no open source alternatives back then or even today. come to think of it, maybe we're only a few features away from a decentralized *** renaissance.
-
John Crickett (@johncrickett) reported"GitHub's scale is unprecedented." No, it really isn't. GitHub: 150M total users. Office 365: 345M total users. Xbox: 500M monthly active users. Bing: 100M+ daily active users. The company that runs Office, Xbox and Bing can run GitHub. If reliability is slipping, that's a priorities problem, not a scale problem.

Josh (@joshmanders) reported@saltyAom @ashleymcnamara npm being under GitHub, service issues one thing but this stuff is actually harmful

bntvllnt (@bntvllnt) reportedday 28. public repos: 51 commits · 7 PRs · 2 repos. overall github: 62 commits · 7 PRs · 0 reviews. custom harness: 460 runs · 22 jobs · 0 approvals. release: ci: enforce issue-linked pull requests what do you track to know a day was actually productive?
-
Fei (@FeiHiMakd) reported@Existsindeath @ShitpostRock2 It used to take me a minute to find it. The interface on Github is a little unintuitive in places, but it's not really an issue if you take a second to actually look at it.
-
planefag (@planefag) reported@Croker_Frog I've been typing /releases at the end of the URL for years now because trying to puzzle out the latest goofass **** on github isn't worth the trouble just give me the ******* tarball
-
Lev Smolsky (@levtechs) reported@mattjay Why is GitHub so essential to everyone's workflow? if it is down just don't push and do it later
-
Stickman Sham (@StickmanSham) reported@KainYusanagi @xatzimi1 @ShitpostRock2 this is exactly the problem, too many github pages dont put out releases and you have to do some other bullshit to download them
-
Beelzebub 🇺🇲 (@AtomicBeelzebub) reported@planefag Github could fix this issue and still appease the devellopers in the replies by just making it so when you first visit the website asking if you are a Contributor or a User, creating a cookie, then giving an extremely similified view with just the downloads and readme for users.
-
Trevor Longino (@TrevorLongino) reported@david_nix @coreyhainesco I feel bad for GitHub having to deal with this scaling problem. Every agent commits ten times a day, and for every vibe coder, it’s a lot for them to handle. They used to be a very boring development CI/CD company, and the AI revolution has really wanged them hard.
-
Longlius (@Longlius) reported@planefag Github isn't for end users. Directing end users to github is a mistake on the developer's side, not a problem with github.
