  From now on, I will assume that GitHub is always down and I'd like to be notified when it's briefly not.

  @sbilstein if GitHub is down, where does that push land first — and how do you handle conflicts when the repo comes back?

  I review resumes for DevOps beginners at meetups, and the same fixable problem shows up every time: bullets that describe the tool instead of what YOU did with it. Let me show you the difference with real rewrites. BEFORE: "Worked with Docker and Kubernetes" AFTER: "Containerized a 3-service Node app and deployed it to a local Kubernetes cluster with health checks and resource limits" BEFORE: "Knowledge of CI/CD" AFTER: "Built a GitHub Actions pipeline that tests, builds and pushes images on every merge to main" BEFORE: "Familiar with Linux" AFTER: "Debugged container startup failures using logs, exec and inspect on Ubuntu servers" See the pattern? Verb, artifact, specifics. A hiring manager can picture the AFTER versions. The BEFORE versions could be copied from any job description, and that is exactly how they read. You do not need production experience to write bullets like this. Personal projects count when you describe them concretely.

  GitHub CLI just added image and video attachments today. Here's what you need to know. The gh command line tool now supports a repeatable --attach flag. It uploads a local image or video file and references it inline in an issue, pull request, or comment body. The feature is live now for all users on GitHub. It's aimed squarely at developers and coding agents that need to show visual proof, like before-and-after screenshots, directly from the terminal instead of the web UI. Developers reacted fast. Many called it a long-overdue fix for a common workaround, since teams previously built custom tools or scripts just to upload images to PRs from the CLI. Key facts: - New flag: --attach - Supports: images and video - Repeatable: yes, use it multiple times per command - Works in: issues, pull requests, comments - Availability: all users, live now No separate app or upload API is needed, the flag handles it inside gh itself.

  @annalea_l Honestly, I really want to see this. You have to understand: I am the type of person who can learn and do anything on the fly at a high level, and I just threw myself into this whole developer and engineering world. When I first started learning all this stuff, I already knew what I wanted and how I wanted it to operate, regardless of what I saw on X or what was considered possible. Before I even started following hundreds of developers and learning about harness engineering, mechanical engines, persistent memory, and all that, I put my brain on a GitHub repo. Everything is shared across every machine, every cloud entity, and every AI. I am not even technically an engineer or a developer, and I don't actually write code. But once I started following all these people and saw all the problems they complain about, I thought: this isn't even my trade, and I have already solved all these little things everyone says are impossible. Why aren't people talking about developing your harness more and making things more mechanical, instead of just arguing with a terminal all day long? Whenever I see articles people post on X, I run them by Claude or Grok and ask, "Should we implement this?" I have hundreds of bookmarks, but every single time they tell me, "Nope, your brain's better. Nope, your harness is better." I can never find anything built better than what I have or what I am currently working on. The brain and harness setup is basically like a mini operating system. All that said, I am really looking forward to seeing something I can use that goes far beyond what I am already doing. I definitely want to see your end product, it sounds very interesting.

  @threepointone I am of two minds, the issue is that GitHub provides a very generous free tier for hobbyists (brilliant!) but also has extremely poor reliability for enterprise (terrible!)

  @petergyang yo @myfirstmate peter just told me his skills are all at user level. backpass currently only runs things at project level i want a proposal for making backpass support a user level run. put that into a github issue use fable for peter

  @Paul_Kinlan Honestly, the linear method helps. Think of it as having a never-ending trough of issues that agents can pull from. I don't even use linear. I just use GitHub with linear flavouring added

  Snyk is a clean postmortem for what happens when a security tool lives inside the coding agent’s loop. The product was mostly scan-and-warn. Find the issue, comment on the PR, suggest a fix. Blocking the merge usually sat in GitHub, not in Snyk. Bigger platforms smothered it. $PANW, $CRWD, and Wiz pulled AppSec into the bundle the CISO was already buying. GitHub was the main developer surface and put scanning where the code already lived. Then coding agents arrived and delivered the final blow. A lot of that scanning became something the agent could just do. Growth held up for a short while after the COVID/cloud tailwind. Then it decelerated hard. This is the same lens we use in Convequity’s SaaS Agentic Survival Evaluation Framework. The PANW, CRWD, and FTNT reviews go up on Convequity in a few days.

  @CricTalk29 for me, losing Cursor would hurt most because it sits directly in the editing loop. would the vote change if github outages were limited to code hosting but issues and reviews stayed available?

  The missing primitive might be capability contracts. A Skill shouldn’t say “call Jira.” It should say “I need issue.write.” Then MCP can bind that capability to Jira, Linear, GitHub… whatever exists. That’s basically dependency injection for agents.

  building something that races coding agents on the same GitHub issue and scores the PRs. coming soon.

  my @github streak of 4 weeks ended today bcz I was busy playing fifa with my roommate. Tf, I hate this feeling. I literally had to solve one problem and just push it but I forgot to do it.

  Awesome Codex non-coding usecase: I had 1-2 TP Link Kasa smart outlets that always ended up falling off the network, and it drove me nuts. I set Codex on it. It found a github library for these devices, carefully examined them on my network and watched them fall off, and told me that even though they look identical, 2 of them were previous generation models that had *slightly* lower total wattage load support. It told me exactly how to tell them apart, and sure enough, that was that. 2 replaced outlets later and my connected devices have bene flawless. Months and months of irritation, gone because of 30 seconds of curiosity. Just try, you never know what you could fix! @victornunez
