  I love how bad swe is today. Nothing works. I’m trying to clone unreal engine, and GitHub can’t keep a connection live long enough to fully check out. The repo is too big. GitHub is too broken. A mess all the way down.

  Just came across something interesting from @commonsmade They’re trying a different approach to reputation. Your Ethos + GitHub reputation gives you a starting score, then your activity on the platform can push that score up or down. You can vouch for people you trust or slash someone if you think their reputation doesn’t deserve the score. The interesting part? Only the top 1,000 users will qualify for the airdrop, so your score actually matters. I’m going to test it out and see how this works. @Slayed_eth might be onto something here.

  @123skely Just use worktrees and GitHub I’m running a lot more than that and not having these problems Need a lot of hard drive space tho Also need to plan up front, have it ask you clarifying questions and then answer them itself, read the answers to make sure it’s aligned with your intent— this has been massively help to quality and success for me

  Cursor's Origin isn't just competing with GitHub on code hosting. It bets the pull request, designed for scarce human attention, changes once agents write most code. Review becomes sampling, not gatekeeping. GitHub's 8-hour outage on Aug. 17 made that thesis less theoretical.

  @cvsilly_ @fidgepee Restricted ≠ Banned. The entire point I gathered based on reading is that the issue is two pronged with copyright and the slop ware. Someone craping out terrible code right from LLMs and pushing it on those services and having them waste compute and storage just degrades the service for everyone, take a look at the challenges GitHub has faced specifically with the load AI agents have created. I don't think they'll go "no we think you're assisted by an LLM, BANNED." They're just giving themselves a grounded point to take out complete and obvious slop

  Claude forgets everything you told it the moment you close the tab. Every session you explain your projects again. People fix that by keeping their notes in a folder Claude can read. Then GitHub filled up with tools that automate it, and that’s where it goes wrong. A friend of mine installed five of them in one Saturday. Two of them started writing into the same folder in different formats. Her one command for adding a document existed twice under different names. By evening she was reading a GitHub issue from March with four comments and no answer. At 11pm she deleted all of it. Sunday she opened an empty file and wrote 31 lines by hand. What she’s working on. What her clients are called. How she names things. The four mistakes she corrects Claude about every week. Claude reads that file at the start of every session now. No installation, no tools, no conflicts. She added one small tool later, when she hit an actual problem it solved. Saturday had five tools and nothing worked. Sunday had a text file and it’s still running six months later.

  Coding is exploding. After Github outage last week: Since April, monthly commits have grown from 1.4 billion to 2.9 billion. Also hearing people are waiting mininum a month to get an app into the Apple App Store. Your mom is coding now.

  GitHub isn't simply somewhere developers store code anymore. It's part of CI/CD, security, packages, automation and increasingly AI development. When GitHub goes down, software production can go down with it. That's platform concentration risk hiding in plain sight. @GitHub

  I did review this decision making in the GitHub issue when I was first burned by it. The normal thing if everyone agreeing with another in the first few posts of the issue and by the time someone comes in pointing out a problem that wasn’t considered adequately no one wants to “re-litigate” it. This one was more innocent than some but still. No good excuses for this.
