Why are people complaining? It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

You have a free bank holiday, go look at green trees, listen to birds, find somebody who's wrong on HN etc.

The only poor souls here are some github devops team (team of copilots?) and those using alternative services.

June 17, 2023: Dohmke says Copilot will write 80% of code: https://www.freethink.com/robots-ai/github-copilot Slop code is written and pushed ... Aug 11, 2025: Dohmke leaves the sinking ship: https://www.entrepreneur.com/business-news/github-ceo-thomas... This is a true AI victory.

Do y'all have any evidence that github's recent outages are caused by slopcode rather than the significant increase in load, which is exactly what Github & MS have been claiming as the root cause? I'm tired of these BS stories being pushed by green accounts on HN like there's some damn agenda by someone who thinks their job will be saved "if only the CEOs realized that Slopcode Bad".

This is starting to feel like Twitter. For a variety of reasons, we had a centralized place where everyone of a particular set of persuasions could connect, and this had outsize benefits for the community as a whole. That place is becoming untenable, and with the loss of goodwill and stability, the community’s started to dissipate. But there isn’t one obvious transition candidate, so the diaspora is finding itself sp…

Use Tangled ! https://tangled.org/

It's a social network with github-like social features and git hosting, but you can still self host your git and have all the features like issues, PRs and so on just like GitHub.

And it's built on ATProto so you can also have your issues PRs and so on hosted on your infra, but everything interconnects nicely with your single account, just like using GitHub.

They even added a vouching system for users, to know who to trust based on who you already trusted.

What I want: A self hosted version of GitHub that is a precise mirror of an actual GitHub repository. That is, PRs from GitHub appear on the selfhosted instance and my reviews from the self hosted instance appear on GitHub. That way I can work on my private instance when GitHub is down (or slow) and I can be assured my work still appears to everyone online. Does this exist?

Git gets you 90% of the way there. Sounds like you just want a decentralized review solution to go with it.

I wonder if you could replace the whole github issues feature with just a directory within each git repo named "Issues/". Within that, have another couple directories, "open/", and "closed/". Within "open", have a directory per issue, e.g. "such-and-such-does-not-work/". Within each issue directory, have "issue.txt", or "issue.md", which takes the place of the page for each issue on github. You could store other thin…

Check out Haxxy, it has a lot of fresh ideas related to issues/pr management https://youtu.be/iBDUTaKWVdU

Thanks for pointing me to that! Definitely some cool ideas in there. Almost seems like some of those ideas could be incorporated into git itself.
