  Coding with Morgan (@morgan_coding) reported 4 minutes ago

  lovable : vibe coding vs. engineering the problem kept seeing "built a full saas in a weekend with lovable" posts and wasn't sure what that actually meant for the codebase underneath. the fix lovable generates a real, exportable codebase, react, tailwind, supabase backend, auth, not a locked proprietary black box. it's genuinely good at standard patterns. it slows down on custom logic, complex permission systems need clarifying prompts to get right. action if you use it, export via the GitHub sync immediately and read the generated code before shipping anything real, don't just trust the deployed url. treat the export like reviewing a junior dev's first pass, not a finished product. tradeoff pro: real code you own, not vendor lock-in, that's the meaningful difference from most no-code tools. con: it explicitly is not a replacement for engineering review, security, scalability, and testing are still on you before anything goes to production. takeaway fast prototyping and finished software are different jobs. lovable is honest about which one it does. worth reading the codebase either way.

  @fcerullo One malicious GitHub issue being enough to make the agent leak CI/CD secrets is properly scary. The payload is just text and the agent treats it as trusted. We’ve got something that forces approval before agents can touch or send any secrets, it's called HOL Guard.

  Am I the only one having issues installing / updating Hermes (Bot Mode update)? - My Hermes agent runs on a Mac mini - I have the Hermes Desktop app installed on macbook - Desktop app reaches Mac mini via remote gateway - The download on the website is an installed stub that includes both Agent AND Desktop app - I had to manually install the Desktop app last time from github Burning millions of tokens for Hermes to figure out how to get Bot Mode on the MacBook (desktop app) without downloading the entire Hermes stack (that already lives in Mac mini) @Teknium

  If you want to build your first AI employee the easiest thing to do is create a morning brief agent. Here's why it works: the task is "useful and controlled." It goes through your business overnight and leaves a to do list Set it up in 3 parts: 1) The morning brief. - Every weekday at 7am it reads /customers, /context, and your open GitHub issues. - It writes /context/morning-brief.md. - Top customer pain point. One product risk. One build task for today. One question to ask a customer. - Under 500 words. No production code. No pull request. 2) The weekly ops review. - Every Friday at 3pm it reads the open issues and the recent customer notes. - It groups the related issues and finds the duplicates. - One fix for the week, written to /context/weekly-ops.md. 3) The pull request loop. - When a pull request opens, it reviews the code against review.md. - It comments only on bugs, broken user flows, security problems, and confusing behavior. - Then it tells you if the work is ready for a human. Two routines and one loop. Each one takes a few seconds to set up. The catch: It's boring but this is what people mean by the "night shift," it reads and catalogs business operations into markdowns so that you don't have to spend your time doing this busy work. So find similar tasks your team spends hours every week doing and give them to Claude to handle.

  @nisten True. But how would anyone randomly find you custom server? The point of GitHub is social network.

  @AunySillyMe Now I want a free subscription to GitHub due to emotional damage incurred during the outage.

  @poteto vercel plugin @bot not working for me - once i click allow it returns back (opening cursor instead of bot) but nothing happens. github is connected but still says authenticate.

  @cursor_ai 20 years of *** and the pitch is we made hosting reliable that's not a product that's an apology for github going down

  @cursor_ai @cursor_ai team isn't just building an AI wrapper, they are rewiring the actual foundation of how we store code. If Origin delivers on this, @github has a serious problem in 12 months. 💻

  $NVM is quietly becoming essential developer infrastructure with 94K+ GitHub stars and 10K+ forks. It solves a fundamental problem by allowing developers to install and switch between multiple Node.js versions seamlessly, while .nvmrc files let projects specify the exact runtime they require. With Node.js powering a massive portion of modern web infrastructure NVM sits directly inside the developer workflow making its adoption and longevity particularly bullish. YOU ARE EARLY ANON.

  Cursor shipped a GitHub rival called Origin the same day GitHub went down for six hours. 257 outages in a year will do that. The AI editors already own your keyboard, the repo was always next. Microsoft built the moat and forgot to keep the lights on.

  @sahill_og they timed the claude outage to disrupt people from building a new github

  @rauchg kicking you (@github) when you are down? this is really stupid, after the many years of serving open source code... 😌 how revealing of a character!

  @HotAisle I take it this is the GitHub issue? I used to run istio (for years), had to make sure not only you set up HPAs for it right (HorizontalPodAutoscaler) but that you had the resources to do so. Default values were not so good, but you'd be surprised how many times either they were not set, set to defaults from a terrible helm chart, or settings NOT saved in the configmaps so it rolls back. Also some people are lazy and with spot instances and you kinda need to know what getting to configure correctly. Oh and some upgrades were wonky. Sorry for the long reply. I actually don't like using istio, or K8s anymore LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't want to read the post mortem because it has the words istio in it LOL.
