Has the iOS app for twitter got terribly slow for everyone or just me? Takes over 10 seconds from app launch to show me my feed and even then it’s not populated, I have to head to my notifications, wait for them to load and then go back to my feed for it to show up

[New Blog Post] My Experience with GitHub Agentic Workflows GitHub Next recently introduced a research project called Agentic Workflows – a way to embed autonomous AI agents directly into GitHub Actions.

See github.com/badger/home for all the goodness. Sorry if you didn't get a physical badge to play with, we hope to have them in thegithubshop.com once we are able to source some more screens.

How it started and how it's going. Thanks to @github for not just tolerating my whacky ideas but supporting them. And thanks to @helenhousandi for always being up for shenanigans when I call. Great seeing folks at #GitHubUniverse

The numbers are in. 📈 With 1.12 billion contributions on GitHub from over 180 million developers, we took a closer look at the state of software development.

Recording is now live for the Day 2 Keynote at GitHub Universe. Well worth 40mins of your time, the people we got to feature are extraordinarily talented. And there was me of course. But proud of this one: piped.video/q1IxyisKcZI?si=zzmp…
