Re:Ask HN: GitHub employees what's going on? Why? on Wednesday August 19, 2026 @03:03AM (#49357944)
I mean i'm sure github employs great engineers, nobody is telling they're nor. But then you look at a graph like this... https://ibb.co/Lffpmfd
It's a step to provide targeted advertising with mathematically provable "no sensitive info stored" approach. The google must fight really hard because this is the only source of income that makes sense for their position. And it /is/ quite evil tbh

Spoken like a true russian troll
By the way, is it just me or opus 4.8 is much better at some programming tasks than fable? I've been really disappointed lately, i stopped using it evem though it's "premium on my subscription"
