  @kettanaito I‘ve set timeouts on all my jobs because I had seldom runtimes of many hours. Something inside github actions was not working correctly and everything was super slow.

  hey @thsottiaux thanks a lot for all resets, but please add option to choose custom default folder to codex already it's really annoying that I can't change my default folder, codex creates all projects in documents, and it's a mess many issues like that already on github 👇

  I woke up briefly and saw some crypto person claiming that they could “retire me if I work with them,” which is neither true nor particularly palatable even if true. I wanted to quickly explain the situation I’m in. (Or rather was forced into.) First, this is a distraction from my main goal, which was to not become homeless. When a bunch of crypto folks showed up, I had no idea what they were talking about, and I tried ignoring them. The message from multiple people was “look! We have free money for you. Nearly $4k. Isn’t that great? All you do is link your GitHub and you can have it, no strings attached.” This has the form of a scam, but to my amazement it was true. I cautiously linked my GitHub, and in exchange their website gave me about 50 SOL, aka around $4k. So I was left sitting there like, what the hell just happened? The answer is that this happened: One of them said to their community “Hey, let’s help Shawn. We’ll create a Shawn coin. Every time we trade this coin with each other, Shawn gets a cut. It goes into a piggy bank labeled “Shawn”, and only he can claim it.” Then, shockingly, that turned out to be true. I now have $4k. I have no idea how to feel about this. There are so many implications here. And this came at exactly the wrong time. I have 5 interviews lined up for today, some on the weekend, and on Monday an interview with Apple. I have at least a hundred DMs I haven’t been able to reply to yet, and this is the first moment I’ve had to breathe. I’m grateful for the money, and I think they deserve a shout out. But I’m wary of becoming a Jake Paul. My reputation is all I have, and sacrificing it for $4k would be a massive mistake. So, community, how do you feel about this? By acknowledging their existence, am I promoting gambling addiction via meme coins? Or is it the opposite, and I should go around saying “wow, look at that. They covered my mortgage right when I desperately needed it”? Both seem true, and this seems like a distraction from my actual duty right now, which is to respond to all of the kind folks that DMed me. It boils down to: keep the money, promote coin; keep the money, disavow coin; or give the money to charity.

  An advice to software engineers of all levels. Don’t get discouraged if the thing you are trying to build exists in some shape or form. Simply avoid googling or seeing how it is built. Because when you do so, you snap into the other person thought process and abandon yours. You run into problems that they were trying to solve which you may have never need to solve for your use case. I often see some engineers especially seniors when they are told of an idea by their subordinates they quickly say “oh its been done before” or “oh look this github repo up its all there” Do you have a slightest idea what this does to creativity? And even if you decide to still go on with your project and get “ideas” from that other project, your thoughts are contaminated, you will produce a clone product. Where is the fun in that? Don’t even say “Im going to make it better” because that means you are starting where they left off. Don’t say you are saving time, because you will be cutting corners and getting it over with. Like a chore wishing it to be finished. Where is the Art in that? There is a saying in Arabic “to break one’s paddles.” Don’t kill the excitement and spark you have over that, you have absolutely no idea what it will amount to. Build it only to build it so you are lost while building it.

  Update on the @github bait repos from 11h ago: Codex-5.5-codex-instruct-5.5 is now at 1,072 stars (up from 1,001). dd and clash still climbing. The interesting number isn't the stars. It's the calendar. Common Crawl refreshes ~monthly. The Stack refreshes ~quarterly. Frontier code corpora refresh 2-4x/year. A repo that trends today gets scraped within 30 days, curated within 90, and ships inside a model in 6-9 months. The fix is boring: account-age floors, signed-commit requirements, README-to-code ratio checks. Haiku-cheap. Nobody's publishing their filters. #AIsecurity #MLops

  Most businesses start their marketing by guessing what customers want. They search Google, look at competitors, and write copy based on what feels right. That is not research. That is assumption with extra steps. The problem is that polished case studies and competitor websites show you what businesses want to say about themselves, not what customers are actually feeling. You end up writing to a version of your market that does not quite exist. Claude can do something more useful. You can point it at Reddit threads, YouTube comments, and forums where real people describe their frustrations in their own words. That is where the actual language lives. Not the professional summary of the problem, but the 2am complaint post from someone who has run out of patience with the exact issue you solve. There is a Skill on GitHub called Last 30 Days that directs Claude to pull recent conversations from these sources and surface what people in your market are saying right now. I used it to research a content brief and what came back was a list of phrases I would never have chosen myself. Phrases that matched how customers think, not how I would have described the problem. That language is your brief. It tells you what to put in your ads, your landing page, and your emails before you spend a penny on any of them. Find the Last 30 Days Skill on GitHub. Run it against the main problem your business solves.

  I JUST FOUND SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE Running a company with zero employees. Here's what makes this possible: Paperclip. It's a 100% open source project on GitHub, with over 70,000 stars. I'm not talking about triggering a single model. You hire a CEO, you hire engineers, and you also hire a QA supervisor. Each worker is an artificial intelligence agent, and Paperclip is the Node that keeps them compatible.js and React control plane. Stop dealing with disorganized systems and build a living organization: - Establish a CEO agent for strategy. Hire engineers and designers through Claude or Codex. - Set up an automated QA cycle before any ticket is closed. Manage the entire portfolio from your phone. Do you know what you do when an agent makes a mistake? You're not rewriting the entire pipeline. You're just refining the persona instructions, like coaching a junior employee. This is exactly the kind of tool this field needs right now. Free, open source, can be hosted on your own server.

  SOMEONE JUST BUILT A CLI THAT WRITES AND MAINTAINS YOUR ENTIRE CODEBASE DOCUMENTATION AUTOMATICALLY point it at any repo, it reads the code, writes the docs, and opens a pull request every day to keep them updated no more outdated readmes. no more agents hallucinating about what your code does. > run openwiki and it generates documentation built specifically for agents > auto-appends context to your CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md files > github action opens a daily PR with fresh documentation updates > supports claude, openai, openrouter, kimi, GLM and more > works with any custom model id you throw at it the best part is it writes docs the way agents need to read them, not the way humans write them langchain just solved the problem every agentic codebase has but nobody talks about one command. your agents finally know what your code does. 👀

  Fix one: a line under the CTA reassuring you it won't mess with your real board, because that was IMO the silent objection. Fix two: a "Built by Matt Fauveau" credit. Sounds vain. It isn't. When your tool writes to someone's GitHub, a name is trust. People want a human accountable for the thing in their repo.

  Your team still reviews code manually. Bugs ship anyway. I built CodePatrol to fix that. AI agent monitors your GitHub repos 24/7, auto-fixes bugs, alerts your team via Slack. No waiting. No bottlenecks. Just working code. Live soon.
