  @coleywoleyyy I use github issues for that right now. Not perfect but I like that they are connected to my code and repo.

  I had an idea for a WordPress plugin that understands the content already on a site and suggests relevant internal links while you write. That idea is now Intertexere. I created a private GitHub repository, defined the architecture and product rules, mapped the development stages, and opened the first implementation issue. No code yet. I wanted the requirements clear before the build starts.

  Vibe-coded projects generate so much load that traditional FOSS software forges cannot sustain hosting them. See the GitHub downtime. Now Codeberg and Sourcehut have restricted vibe-coded projects. I'd be surprised if GitHub don't buckle given the constant unavailability issues. The AI companies are ofc willing to host these projects (Cursor Origin), but so far, not for free. I wonder if this is the end of unrestricted, free software forges.

  @FlowAltDelete One of my biggest issues right now is preventing all users from building agents with the GitHub harness, unless approved - manual check and informing the user is the only method I have right now 😭

  @itsnotryan @github Does it go down with the site?

  @Jxke72 @MarvelcoCode @ImpulsumFUT His GitHub was awful, people would show videos of issues and he would just say "do this" but not provide any explanation. He would also just delete peoples issues from the board, even when they were genuine and not just "where FIFA 14 crack?". Worst type of person to deal with

  of course you think CUDA is better, the shine is starting to wear off of cutedsl and you finally profiled the kernel launch overhead. not to mention you just saw a github issue showing how many microseconds you're never going to get back from torch.library.wrap_triton. you're going to be convinced of that until next month when your workload hits a shape you didn't template specialize for. then it'll be back to DSLs until one innocent little API deprecation throws you under the bus and

  HERMES AGENT CAN NOW BROWSE AS YOU. YOUR LOGINS. YOUR COOKIES. YOUR SESSIONS. ONE CONFIG LINE. THE AGENT ACTS WITH YOUR REAL BROWSER PROFILE. every browser session in Hermes starts clean by default. logged into nothing. need the agent to check your dashboard? log in first. every time. real profile browsing fixes this. browser: use_real_profile: true one line in config.yaml. or Desktop app: Settings → Browser → Use My Real Browser Profile. the agent now browses with your existing Chrome, Edge, or Brave logins. your cookies. your saved passwords. your preferences. already signed in. HOW IT WORKS: Hermes copies your browser's active profile into a managed snapshot at ~/.hermes/browser-profile/[browser]/ your live browser profile is NEVER opened directly. the snapshot is a separate directory. no profile lock conflicts. no fighting with your running browser. auth files (cookies, logins, preferences) re-sync from your real profile whenever a fresh Hermes session starts. log into a new service in your normal browser. the agent sees it next session. WHAT THIS ENABLES: "check my Vercel dashboard for failed deploys" agent opens Vercel. already logged in. reads the data. "summarize my GitHub notifications" agent opens GitHub. your session. your repos. no OAuth setup. "check my analytics in Google Search Console" agent browses GSC with your Google account. "approve the pending PR on our private repo" agent reads the PR diff. already has access. any site you're logged into in your browser = the agent is logged into it too. SECURITY: this is a consent-gated convenience. OFF by default. you opt in explicitly. a page the agent visits runs with your real logins. only enable it when you want the agent acting as you. when you turn the toggle OFF, Hermes deletes the snapshot store (~/.hermes/browser-profile/). copied credentials don't linger after you revoke consent. WINDOWS NOTE: Chrome/Edge/Brave on Windows holds an exclusive lock on cookie and login databases while the browser is open. Hermes can't copy them while it's running. fix: fully quit the browser (including background/tray instances) before starting a Hermes browser session. or set: browser: real_profile_autoclose: true Hermes will offer to close the browser for you. it asks first. never closes automatically. only on your explicit approval. macOS and Linux can copy the profile while the browser is running. no issue. SUPPORTED BROWSERS: Chrome, Edge, Brave, Chromium. whichever is your OS default. a non-Chromium default (Firefox) = clear error message. no guessing. WORKS WITH ANY BACKEND: local browsing: automatic once the toggle is on. cloud backend (Browserbase, Browser Use): the agent can still open a real-profile local session on demand via browser_exec with the local argument. the cloud backend keeps serving everything else. THE DIFFERENCE: without real profile: "check my dashboard" → agent opens the site → login page → stuck. you paste credentials or set up OAuth. with real profile: "check my dashboard" → agent opens the site → already signed in → done.

  So when you pay for GitHub and it goes down multiple times, does that mean we should get a rebate?

  The fix was simple: I had to generate a digital VIP pass (a private security token) so GitHub recognizes my app every time it checks in. Works smoothly now without getting locked out. 🦾 (2/2)

  Look at the roles AI companies are giving their products. Google calls Gemini an assistant. GitHub introduced Copilot as an AI pair programmer. Microsoft extended Copilot across its products. Salesforce sells agents. Asana offers AI Teammates. Cognition calls Devin an AI software engineer. The titles suggest different levels of delegation. An assistant helps. A copilot shares control. An agent acts on your behalf. A teammate takes on work inside a group. A software engineer can be given a problem and judged by the result. As the title changes, so does the relationship between the person and the software. What can it do without asking? Who is responsible when it fails? These labels may be ahead of the technology. Company language is still advocacy, not proof that the market has accepted the role. But it shows what companies are trying to make normal: software as a participant in work.

  A16z just published a deep dive on the Cursor story today. Here's what you need to know. In 2023, four MIT dropouts led by Michael Truell released Cursor, a fork of Microsoft's VS Code, despite Microsoft owning VS Code, GitHub, and OpenAI's model weights, plus the best enterprise distribution in software. a16z GPs Martin Casado, Matt Bornstein, and Sarah **** broke down why it worked anyway in a 38-minute video. **** recounted asking Truell about the threat from Anthropic's Claude Code. He told her: "We are going after the biggest market in the world, there's going to be competitors, there's been a rotating cast of characters from the very beginning, Microsoft Copilot was the first one, Claude Code is one of a rotating set." **** said she was struck by the mix of clarity, humility, and lack of fear in that answer. Casado separately praised the team's product focus and its decisiveness once a call was made, comparing it to Elon Musk's style, and Martin Casado also framed Cursor's early acquisitions of strong teams as a deliberate weapon in the AI talent war. Cursor, the company behind the product, was founded in 2022 by Michael Truell and reached a $29.3 billion valuation with over $3 billion in annual recurring revenue by early 2026, having raised roughly $968 million across prior funding rounds. Key numbers: - Founded 2023, four MIT dropouts - $29.3B valuation - $3B+ annual recurring revenue by early 2026 - ~$968M raised across funding rounds - 38:34 minute a16z video, posted Aug 28, 2026 a16z's video and follow-up posts have drawn over 200,000 combined views, with replies split between praise for Cursor's founder clarity and critics who note Cursor has since lost ground to Anthropic's Claude Code.

  In 2017, Kevin Durant put $100,000 into a company almost nobody had heard of. A year or so later he put in another $150,000. Nvidia has now agreed to buy that company for $12.9 billion. Durant's return on a $250,000 bet is reportedly north of $60 million. Here's what actually happened. Hugging Face was founded in 2016. It started as a chatbot app for teenagers, then pivoted into something else entirely. It became what people call the GitHub of AI. A place where developers share, download and publish open source AI models and datasets. Today it hosts more than a million model repositories used by over 15,000 companies, with about 250 employees. When Durant got in, none of that existed yet. He joined the seed round in 2017, a $1.2 million raise, alongside Betaworks and SV Angel. Then he came back for the Series A. He wasn't doing it as a celebrity name on a cap table. He and his longtime business partner Rich Kleiman had founded Thirty Five Ventures that same year, named after the number he wore for most of his career. 35V has since invested in more than 100 early stage companies. Coinbase. Postmates. Robinhood. Whoop. Overtime. Their portfolio reads like an actual venture fund because it is one. Then Hugging Face got very big. By 2023 it raised $235 million at a $4.5 billion valuation, in a round that included Salesforce, Google, Amazon, IBM, Intel, AMD, Qualcomm and Nvidia. Last year Nvidia offered $500 million for a stake at a $7 billion valuation. Hugging Face turned it down. Their reason was that they didn't want a single dominant investor who could steer the company's decisions, since the whole value of the platform is that it stays neutral between chipmakers. This week Nvidia came back with $12.9 billion for the entire company. That's roughly 86 times Hugging Face's annual revenue, which sits around $150 million. And Kevin Durant is on the cap table from the $1.2 million seed round. The math on his stake, according to Joe Pompliano who broke the payday story, is that his $250,000 likely turned into more than $60 million. That's roughly a 24,000 percent return. Now here's the part worth sitting with. Kevin Durant is 37 years old and still one of the highest paid players in the NBA. According to that reporting, this single investment out-earned his entire basketball salary for the season. He made more from a check he wrote nine years ago than from playing basketball, which is the thing he is the second best in the world at doing. Two honest caveats, because this is still moving. Neither Nvidia nor Hugging Face has publicly confirmed the acquisition. No contract has been signed and the deal structure isn't known. And the $60 million figure is a sourced estimate, not a number Durant or 35V has confirmed. But the underlying facts are solid. He was in the seed round. He was in the Series A. The company is being acquired for nearly $13 billion. Most athletes who "invest" put their name on a tequila brand and collect a fee. In 2017, a 28 year old basketball player wrote a $100,000 check to a chatbot startup nobody had heard of and just left it there for nine years.
