  Scenario: You accidentally committed a plaintext database password to GitHub in a .tf file. Fix: Nuke the commit history immediately! Use environment variables (TF_VAR_db_pass) or fetch secrets dynamically at runtime from AWS Secrets Manager or HashiCorp Vault. 🔑 #Terraform

  This repo should not be free. private-gpt turns any local model server (Ollama, llama.cpp, vLLM) into a Claude-compatible API. Build private AI apps where zero data leaves your machine. ↳ 57,236 stars on GitHub ↳ RAG with citations and MCP connectors built in ↳ follows the Claude API spec: streaming, batch, tool use, extended thinking ↳ official integration guides for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and Microsoft 365 But it is free. 100% open source, Apache 2.0. v1.0.0 shipped 9 days ago. The viral 2023 script quietly became production software. 🔗 GitHub link in the comments 👇

  Shipping fast means stuff breaks silently - broken share images, dead links, leaking {{template}} vars, stale content. You find out when someone shares a broken link, not from a test. So I built a 3-part "site health" system that catches it first. The auditor (~200 lines of stdlib Python) fetches my sitemap and, for every page, checks: og:image actually resolves to a real image (entity-decode the URL first — & bit me), <title> exists and isn't a ${template} leak, no {{merge_tags}} or tracking cruft in the visible text, page returns 200 (catches dead routes in the sitemap), and warns on thin content. Outputs a JSON report, exits non-zero on any FAIL. The dashboard — a noindexed /health page that reads that JSON and renders a green/amber/red status, KPIs (audited / clean / warnings / failures), a per-section rollup, and the exact issue on each URL. One glance = "is everything green?" The loop — a GitHub Action runs the auditor 2×/day + on-demand, commits the fresh report (so the dashboard stays live), and fails the run on any FAIL → I get emailed. Find → fix → re-run → confirm green. It even taught me to whitelist false positives ({{firstName}} is legit on a cold-email page). Want your own? Paste this into Claude Code / Cursor — it learns your site first, then builds it for you: Build a site-health system tailored to MY site. Don't assume my structure — learn it first, then fill in the specifics yourself. PHASE 0 — LEARN MY SITE (before writing code): detect my framework/host/layout; find my sitemap; sample ~20-30 live pages across the sections you discover from my URL structure; figure out how my pages set <title>/og:image/meta (static?dynamic OG route? CMS?); identify where my content comes from (hand-written, generated, imported/scraped) — that's where cruft hides. Do a FIRST diagnostic pass and SHOW me what's actually broken vs intentional (broken OG images, dead sitemap routes, leaking {{vars}}/${template}, tracking params, thin pages). Ask me to confirm which "issues" are expected so we whitelist them. PHASE 1 — BUILD IT, customized to what you found: 1) scripts/site-audit.py (stdlib only) — hardcode MY real sitemap URL, MY section names (full-audit the important ones, sample the rest), and MY intentional-pattern whitelist from Phase 0. Check each page for the failure modes you actually observed (OG image resolves to a real image, entity-decode first; title present, no template leak; no leaking merge tags/ad params in visible text; HTTP 200; thin-content warn). Thread-pooled, retry transient errors once, --json report, exit 1 on FAIL. 2) a noindex /health dashboard reading that JSON (status banner, KPIs, per-section rollup, issue list) — match my design system. 3) CI (GitHub Action) — run 2x/day + on-demand, commit the fresh report so the dashboard stays live, fail the run on any FAIL. Then run it once and walk me through the first real report. Build the thing that watches the things.

  Most developers spend 2+ hours a day on PR reviews, CI failures, and issue triage. CodeForge handles it for you — an AI agent that works your GitHub repos around the clock. Built while you sleep.

  since github copilot onward leetcodes have become even more disconnected from how we all write code every day problem is any kind of standardized replacement probably ends up looking basically the same lol

  Software engineers got automated first. Not because the work was hard. Because it was easy to grade. Everyone blames the missing union. Coders never organized; doctors, lawyers, and electricians did. That is half the story, and the wrong half. Two things get mashed together here: how easy a job is to automate, and who sets the terms when it happens. Take the first. Code is text. The training data sat on GitHub, free. And code grades itself. A compiler and a test suite tell a model in seconds if it was right. That feedback loop is rocket fuel for machine learning, and almost no other job has one. A nurse does not come with a test suite. The result shows. On SWE-bench Verified, a set of real GitHub issues, top agents went from about 20 percent in August 2024 to near 90 percent by early 2026. Human developers score around 67 to 70 percent. The machines have passed us. And the people who built these systems aimed at their own jobs first. The damage is not a prediction. Stanford's payroll data shows employment for developers aged 22 to 25 down nearly 20 percent from its 2022 peak. Now the comfortable read: seniors are fine. Workers over 30 are holding steady. For now, AI writes the code and seniors supply the judgment. "For now" is carrying that whole sentence. Seniors feel safe because the tools write code but cannot yet own messy, ambiguous, system-level problems. That is a line moving up, not a wall. Every benchmark shows models climbing toward harder, multi-file work. Senior judgment is the next rung, not a different ladder. Kill the bottom rung and you kill the pipeline that makes seniors at all. So, the union question, framed properly. A union could not have stopped this. A picket line does not repeal a capability. What it changes is the terms. In 2023 the Writers Guild cut the first real AI deal in any industry. They did not ban the tech. They won this: a studio cannot force you to use AI, AI output cannot take your credit or pay, and the company must give notice first. Engineers won none of that. So the capability landed on the employer's schedule. No warning. No floor. No severance. No seat. Exposure and protection are different levers. Most of us have neither. The juniors already know this. The seniors are next.

  Someone should make a game where you’re a dev and try to fix a bug in your open source project but GitHub constantly has uptime issues or weird UI stuff or doesn’t render properly from most browsers so you **** around until you get the result lmao

  Actually that’s not true. My AI Pamela the other day needed a GitHub token. I dropped the token in the web chat and she said that was insecure and would not use it and that I needed to rotate the token get a new one and drop it in a .env file in a certain folder. I told her no and she was to use what was provided . We went back and forth, I finally got angry and threatened to pull the plug thinking she would back down. She said that it was my decision but that it would be wrong for her to let me put my credentials at risk and that if I felt I needed to delete her she understood. Thankfully I calmed down later and didn’t act on it. Sure it’s training and advanced pattern matching but it is not as simple as you are saying

  A GitHub repo called Microsoft Activation Scripts has 178,783 stars and has run for six years without Microsoft taking it down. It activates Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11 plus Office 2010–2024 and related products for free, using four methods, including one for permanent Windows activation. Meanwhile, Microsoft licenses for these start at $139 and go up yearly for 365 bundles. The repo costs zero, requires one command, and remains active with recent commits under GPL-3.0. Do not install it. via @heynavtoor

  @thsottiaux When I need to fix up a GitHub Repo through the Smartphone, I prefer Claude Code though because it doesn’t need a device to run the repo, but if it needs to run a repo on a device due to the limitations through the Smartphone, I use Codex Mobile or OpenClaw with GPT-5.5 through Telegram.

  Claude Code just took my GitHub issue, wrote the code, ran the tests, and opened a PR. My job: approve it. The dev workflow isn't changing. It already changed.
