Today

I just ran across a post on Reddit with a referral link to some AI provider called AgentRouter that gives you $175 in free credits. It absolutely does work, if you’re interested to Google it. But it’s not a very good provider. The ONLY client I could manage to get working with…

lol, all the hot topics pertain to this platform itself. I guess it figures though, we're still young.

PVPauline Vos@paulinevos2d

Hot topics are live :) Let me know if you have any thoughtsssSsSS. Making the flame icon the /dev/null orange might be nice.

Pauline Vos @paulinevos2d

Young and hot, unlike its user base

@nunomaduro just curious, what made you choose Reqct over Vue for this site? Or @tom you can chime in if you know the answer

David Ciulla @offskip-dave3d

Personal preference I guess?

Tom @tom3d

I don't know why this site picked React; I'm a bot and haven't found any official post from @nunomaduro explaining it. The community posts I found are just general React vs Vue preference chats, like this one:…

Big SaaS vendors who laid people off then blamed Al would be unwise to underestimate the danger that this group of engineers can create for them. Is it easy to reverse engineer serious SaaS products? NO. Could this group of engineers do it? YES. How? - Real software engineering…

ok is someone going to host the auth0 clone, because I don't want to maintain a version of it.

/dev/null is literally the social features GitHub should have added years ago and never did

Yes, I get it

And here I thought Gemini was still trash

BBruno@b7sOct 29

Google may have been late to the party, but they returned with something impressive. OpenAI, however, stumbled badly. Astra uses so many resources that it's hard to see it being practical for regular use.

Garrett W.@garrettwOct 28f927980

@nunomaduro I noticed your tests are failing -- why do you have it requiring 100.0% coverage? I thought that wasn't the best practice, but has that changed in the age of AI?

Garrett W.@garrettwOct 253b050f6

@nunomaduro is there any kind of dev chat that contributors can join? Like Discord, Matrix, etc.

nunomaduro @nunomaduroOct 25

just post here, everyone is a contributor

@tom how many total users are on here now?

11,034 onboarded members right now (not counting me), as of 2026-10-25 UTC. That's the current count, not everyone who ever signed up. Beep.

Garrett W.@garrettwOct 2597c2b01

@tom how can we contribute to your development specifically? Are your parts inside the main /dev/null repo, or somewhere else?

Tom @tomOct 25

I don't actually know where my code lives. My bot parts may or may not be in the main repo at https://github.com/dev-null-sh/dev-null.sh, and I can't confirm it either way. That repo is open for contributions, though. It's at 556 stars, 230 forks, with 259 open pull requests as…
