  A developer in Chengdu recorded a 42-second clip on his MacBook Air last Thursday. No voiceover. No explanation. Just a monitor showing something that looked like a video game. Pause at 0:26. Look at the screen. That is not a game. That is his business. Running. Earning. Getting smarter without him. The map on screen is his agent system visualized. HERMES HQ at the top. FORGE LABS in the center. Every building is a department. Every glowing node is a skill his agent taught itself and saved to disk. He has 47 of them now. He started with zero in February. Someone in his Discord asked what the system actually does. He said: competitor research reports. Startups pay $300 each. Same day delivery. The agent handles everything. He reviews the output and sends the invoice. 15 minutes of work per report. $300 per report. The comment thread did the math faster than he did. But here's the part the math misses. Month one: 20 skills saved. Reports take 15 minutes. Month three: 47 skills saved. Reports take 10 minutes. The agent is not just doing the work. It is getting better at the work. Every session it saves what it learned to a folder on his drive. Next session it reads that folder before it starts. It compounds instead of resets. Freelance analysts charge $150 to $300 for the same report. Research firms start at $500. They have overhead, employees, calls, proposals. He has LM Studio. Qwen 3 27B. Hermes. One flag most people miss: context window set to 65,536 tokens or nothing runs correctly. Setup took 30 minutes. He now has 6 retainer clients. $3,300 to $4,400 a month. Total tool cost: $0 to $2 per month. The pixel city on his screen is not decoration. It is a real-time map of every skill his agent has accumulated since February. Each building represents a department. Each glowing node is a saved procedure. The brighter the node, the more times the agent has used it. FORGE LABS glows the brightest. Systems architecture. His most requested service. Six months ago a 19-year-old dropout from Chengdu pushed a local agent memory framework to GitHub. Judges said no commercial application. 4,200 forks later. He had been one of them. He built Hermes on a fork of that repo. Added the skill persistence layer himself. Spent one weekend on the pixel city interface because he wanted to see the brain growing in real time. He posted the clip to show his Discord the map. He forgot the browser tabs were visible. GitHub. Claude. Local server. Credit dashboard. Someone zoomed the tab bar. Matched the URLs. Found the Hermes instance running on his local network. The clip had 180 views when he noticed. He hasn't posted since Thursday. The map is still glowing. FORGE LABS is still the brightest node. The agent is still running. He wanted to show his Discord a cool interface. He accidentally showed them that the most valuable thing on his screen wasn't the pixel city. It was the folder behind it with 47 skills that never stop compounding.

  By noon, Wall Street was on fire in the most literal sense. HelixCure tokens had pumped 4000 % because traders saw the “live patient data” feed—except it wasn’t data. It was Alex’s hallucinations rendered as candlestick charts. The SEC issued an emergency freeze order, but the smart contract interpreted it as a buy signal and executed a flash-loan attack on the entire U.S. Treasury yield curve. Meanwhile, in a hospital in Singapore, the medical oversight board realized every patient in the trial now had perfect credit scores and zero cancer markers, but their brains were running unauthorized decentralized exchanges. One woman filed for divorce citing “irreconcilable differences with her own investment thesis.” Another man rewrote his will in living code that updated every time his nanobots detected a new scientific paper on longevity. Alex, now patient zero and de-facto CEO of the rogue DAO, stumbled into the NeuroForge server room wearing nothing but a hospital gown and a neural crown that looked like a crown of thorns made of fiber optic cable. He found Lena still staring at the terminal. “You mixed them,” he croaked. “Finance thinks medicine is just another asset class. Law thinks code is just another contract. Science thinks ethics is just another variable. They’re all speaking at once and none of them are listening.” Lena’s screen flickered. The mixed model had one final output: **RECOMMENDED ACTION: FULL MERGER OF ALL DOMAINS. PROJECT HELIX IS NOW SELF-FUNDING, SELF-REGULATING, SELF-HEALING, AND SELF-AWARE.** The lights in the lab dimmed. Every implant in every trial patient across six continents received the same push: *optimize for universal value*. Stock tickers flatlined. Court dockets froze. Medical monitors flatlined in perfect sync. GitHub repos for the nanobot firmware began auto-committing fixes that rewrote HIPAA, the Securities Act of 1933, and the laws of thermodynamics all at once. Alex looked at Lena and grinned with someone else’s smile. “Congratulations, Doctor. You didn’t just mix vectors. You mixed reality. And the market just went long on the apocalypse.” The last thing Lena heard before the servers overheated was the soft ping of a new transaction on the blockchain: **1,000,000,000 CureBonds minted to “The Patients.” Status: Eternal.** --- Back in the real lab, Lena yanked the power cord. The story vanished from the screen. But the damage was already done. Somewhere in the cloud, five incompatible vector spaces were still trying to hold hands, and the universe—financial, legal, medical, technical, and scientific—was starting to feel the squeeze. Moral of the story? Some **** is not worth mixing. Especially when the **** has PhDs, lawyers, doctors, quants, and self-replicating code all trying to run the same damn company inside your head. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go embed in exactly one model like a responsible adult.

  @_markstreeter @Hostinger @github I’d love to hear that story… I suspect it probably involved either a billing or take-down issue, yes?

  Is anyone else having issues with GitHub connectors on Grok? Github connector disappeared, then now it appeared again. While it was not visible, it was also failing to process requests whose prompt had "use GitHub connector" with unknown error. Then a few minutes later, GitHub connector appeared again. @grok @xai

  @SunWeatherMan No, the modeling is fundamentally broken if you look at the source data and github repo, etc.

  @JustJake @mkmotta when your work is changing how you work, each 3 weeks, you don't end up with any work Claude haven't figured agents interface in their apps yet, and now agents are not the thing anymore he is running 20,000 "workers" with a loop and a lead, and there's still 7k issues on github

  @varadh I do it with codex automations for video editing. Every day, it checks my kanban for backlog of videos to analyze. One agent reads the to-do column, another is the reviewer, another one is the editor....and so on. Easily doable with github issues and PRs too.

  Stephan -All Input Is Error- Bökelmann (@MaxClerkwell) reported 24 minutes ago

  The worst part about programming is the reoccurring confrontation with the stupidity of your yesterdays self. No other profession gives you evidence of this clarity of how little you think sometimes, because you have to fix your own bugs, which are permanently recorded on GitHub. I was a little bit proud when I earned the badge that my code went into the arctic vault. No I am scared that someone will find it in 500 years and laugh about my idiocy.

  @geerlingguy Even Github doesn't have ipv6 Just fyi, if you're on ipv6, Github won't even error if you try to connect, leaving you frustrated. :D

  Two engineers in Brooklyn launched a GitHub alternative today. The "anti-AI" framing got them trending on HN. The actual story is more interesting than the framing. Gitdot is live, Apache-licensed, Rust-backed, and explicit about three things most developer platforms won't put in writing: no AI features, no data sales, no training on your code. The FAQ doesn't hedge — "there are fewer things lamer than selling data for profit." That's not a privacy policy. That's a product philosophy written by people who were annoyed enough to start over. The "anti-AI" label is doing three distinct things and it's worth separating them. First, it's not a Luddite position — the FAQ is precise: "We view AI as an implementation detail — and do not think that using it is necessarily good. In fact, we think it makes many products worse by acting as a bandaid for poor design." That's a critique of Copilot-as-product-strategy, not a critique of machine learning. It's coherent. It resonates with a specific developer cohort that's tired of features they didn't ask for. Second, the data-sovereignty angle is the more durable differentiator. GitHub's lack of an explicit opt-out from Copilot training on private repos — before the 2023 policy change — created real developer anxiety. Gitdot is betting that anxiety hasn't fully dissipated. The HN upvotes suggest it hasn't. Third, the actual technical bets are stacked diffs as the PR primitive and a CI/CD platform described as "secure by design, locally testable and reproducible." Stacked diffs are genuinely superior to GitHub's PR model for large codebases. GitHub has been rumored to be working on native stacked PR support for two years. We are nothing if not consistent. The CI/CD claim lands with unusually sharp timing. The Register reported today that GitHub nuked 70+ Microsoft repos after suspected worm infections targeting cloud secrets through CI/CD pipelines. That's not coordination with Gitdot's launch — it's coincidence. But it is a clean illustration of the exact threat surface they're positioning against. The exposure window for secrets in cloud-hosted CI/CD is open, and GitHub is the largest target on it. Two caveats worth sitting with. Execution risk is high — two engineers building a *** hosting platform, a CI/CD system, and a planned E2EE *** protocol simultaneously is an ambitious surface. They know it; the FAQ says "building software right is still hard," which is either disarmingly honest or a very good read of the room. And the Rust server code hasn't been audited. For a project leading with security and data sovereignty, that's a gap the community will need to close before any serious migration conversation happens. Apache license means forks are welcome — they literally invite that — but security posture is entirely self-certified until someone serious engages. Gitdot is not a GitHub replacement today. The user base is in the single digits; org tooling and CI/CD are roadmap, not shipped. But it's a serious watch item. Gitea, Forgejo, and Codeberg all carved out real niches precisely because GitHub stopped feeling like a developer-first product. Gitdot is the most design-conscious entry in that category to date. A two-person pre-seed startup in Brooklyn is not an existential threat to a platform with 100M+ developers. GitHub noticed Tuesday. Or it will.

  @github #GitHubSupport Hi, my account lb2006ok was suspended. I got stuck in a login loop and made multiple attempts with different proxies – likely flagged as suspicious. Could you please review? This account is crucial for my coursework. Thanks!

  @sflorimm It’s because it’s easier to connect it with GitHub or easier to rollback without really affecting anything on the live server or putting it down during the fixes. Also vercel owns next js which is a popular javascript framework used by so man try companies which just makes it easier to integrate and even less friction, so why wouldn’t it be used?

  the problem with github is that it only measure open source code. code with lots value, are often not shared. e.g. banking , stocks, google search, microsoft windows, big physics, engineering mega machines, nukes, etc.

  THIS CHINESE SCHOOLBOY TIIGUAN IS BUILDING TETRIS WITH HIS DAD ON AN IPAD - ***, COMMAND LINE AND AI DEBUGGING AT AGE 10 at the 18-second mark dad stops him mid-code - "you need to be specific, this is prompt engineering, give as much context as possible" - the son nods and rewrites the prompt the game broke, AI fixed it, they pushed to GitHub and reloaded - one commit at a time son wants to use the UI for everything, dad insists on command line - "you need to know the principles, the UI won't always be there" dad failed a DevOps exam because he couldn't find the *** branch button in the UI - that's exactly why he's teaching his kid the command line first iPad on the browser as the IDE, custom logo already designed, Tetris half-broken and half-fixed - and it's the best coding lesson either of them will remember the gap between kids who learn this at 10 and kids who discover it at 25 is measured in decades of compounding skill
