Earlier this month, Curl maintainer Daniel Stenberg complained on LinkedIn about a flood of “AI slop” bug reports that had been coming in. “That’s it. I’ve had it,” he wrote. “I’m putting my foot down on this craziness.”The project was “effectively being DDoSed,” he wrote. And the culprit was volunteers for the bug bounty site HackerOne. Stenberg’s LinkedIn post drew over 250 comments — and over 600 reposts.

In March, GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke joined Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella in Seoul, South Korea, for a stop on the “Microsoft AI Tour.” The event promised in-depth skilling sessions to help attendees learn the Copilot AI Stack. That initiative is just one way Dohmke has been promoting GitHub’s commitment to our AI-powered future — while still affirming GitHub’s deep allegiance to programmers. Speaking from Seoul, Dohmke sat for an interview with the YouTube channel for EO Media.

It was almost historic: an epic five-hour interview with the programming world’s livestreaming developer sensation, “ThePrimeagen.”Known for his popular channels on Twitch and YouTube (plus his quick, lively personality), ThePrimeagen (AKA, Michael Paulson) sat for a kind of free-wheeling summit with popular programmer-turned-podcaster, Lex Fridman. The rollicking interview quickly attracted 1.4 million views (along with 3,021 comments).

I really liked what GitHub CEO @ashtom had to say about AI agents of today. "I don't think we're anywhere close to a world where you can just write a single prompt and say 'Build GitHub'." https://t.co/gFIjOL1JNC @github @thenewstack
I thought @ThePrimeagen's interview with @lexfridman was really interesting. (All five hours of it!)
