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

  imagine handing someone your codebase and saying: break in, and don't tell me about anything you couldn't actually pull off. that's basically Shannon, an open-source AI pentester. it reads your source, finds an attack path, then drives a real browser to exploit it for real. no working proof-of-concept, no entry in the report. its sample run on OWASP Juice Shop: 𝟮𝟬+ 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘃𝘂𝗹𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 including auth bypass, SQLi, IDOR and SSRF, each with repro steps. on the crAPI test app: 15+ critical/high across JWT and broken API auth. why it lands now: teams ship every day with Claude Code and Cursor, but the pentest still happens once a year. that's ~364 days where nobody's actually checking. 𝟰𝟳𝗸 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘀 since last fall, and it runs locally from your terminal. be honest: what would your side project survive? 🔗 GitHub in the reply 👇

  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.

  @ClaudeDevs This only works if it really sits there until I send it. If it starts opening GitHub issues on its own, that is going to get messy

  @trq212 Ngl, I didn't know it couldn't before. I have reported some things in the past and I just did it by telling claude to do it. It investigated, drafted, opened a github issue, everything.

  @burkeholland Whos "we" I can certainly believe it for GitHub that is down every other day for 12 hours. But I think real engineering will win in the end and a better platform, built by people who care more than people at @github will replace them

  @solomonstre GitHub Actions schedules only get you down to about 5 minute intervals. Cron runs whenever you tell it to. Sometimes the local job isn't pretending to be CI, it just needs to run more often than GitHub allows.

  @sbilstein @SlackHQ yeah to your earlier point i think it depends at what layer you want to attack it i.e. rust builds are slow, caching can help but github actions is trash for it, but blacksmith isn't bad, is there a generic solution you can use that *just works* on any CI? alternatively, go after the actual docker execution layer but not clear to me how much of a bottleneck that actually is vs. language specific idiosyncrasies buildkit is pretty optimized from what i've heard but i generally agree with make it fast and stupidly easy to use!

  VPS deploy via GitHub (6/8): then my own fix bit me. I tagged Pensio v0.73.1, every job went green, the release published itself, and production kept running the old version. In GitHub Actions a skipped job travels down the chain, so my new retry job took the deploy with it.

  Valiant Vibe Coder (@GeorgeGood60669) reported 13 minutes ago

  @edzitron @StevenBartlett The GitHub point is another really sneaky one. You're arguing that AI is making the code at big tech companies worse, then you bring up GitHub going down as if that's evidence of it. But GitHub's recent problems have been driven by the sheer volume of traffic and AI-assisted development, not because GitHub itself has suddenly been written with vibe-coded slop. You even acknowledge this later when it gets pointed out that GitHub is being hammered by people pushing huge amounts of code. So why use GitHub downtime as evidence that the quality of the code these companies are writing is getting worse? You do this repeatedly. You make a point, throw in an example that sounds like it proves it, and most people listening won't know enough about the subject to realise the example doesn't actually support what you're saying.

  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.

  GitHub Actions had another outage, one week after Microsoft promised improvements. Any IaC pipeline for AVD image builds, Terraform deployments, or Nerdio scripted action testing that runs on Actions just went dark again. Single point of failure worth designing around. (via The Register)

  @koltregaskes @JamesZmSun @ChatGPT When you sign into, say, github inside work’s cloud browser, github can issue new session cookies to that cloud browser, those are not copied from your local browser.

  @oscarlehuu Origin is Pro/Teams/Enterprise only — not on the free plan. It shipped 17 Aug as early beta. Cursor's own changelog still treats GitHub as source of truth for anything you started there; Origin is the mirror. Keep a GitHub remote until you can clone without a Cursor login.
