Ask HN: Do teams really need to use GitHub?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49386514Enterprises can self-host, sure. Open source projects uses it for the the network effects of GitHub. But why does a small software team need to use GitHub?I understand the ecosystem argument. Once you've got your repos, CI/CD, PRs, code reviews, packages, integrations, etc. all wired into GitHub, moving everything is a pain. But Git itself is distributed, and GitHub has a pretty open plugin/integration system. There are also perfectly capable alternatives like GitLab, Bitbucket, Forgejo, Gitea, SourceHut, etc.So what is the actual thing that makes a 10–20 person software company stick with GitHub? Is it mostly switching costs? The ecosystem? Developer familiarity? Something else? And if you were to start a project today, would you still go with GitHub?And a slightly more personal question.I've had a rough idea for what a new GitHub could look like if it were built specifically for software that is increasingly being written by AI agents, and specifically for companies rather than open-Aug 21, 2026 11:26 AM

Show HN: Voro – An attention manager for agentic codinghttps://github.com/ClachDev/VoroA few months ago I was getting frustrated trying to use Claude Code effectively. I was finding that for small tasks I would spend a lot of time waiting for it to finish "thinking" and I would end up browsing here...To make a better use of my time, and ideally make better use of the limits, I developed Voro to help me know what I should be focusing on.Fundamentally it's a task tracker tailored for local agentic coding. Each task is a plan that gets a priority and works its way through a set of states that are either for "humans" or "agents". The main "cockpit" view lists a few different options of what I should be looking at. The bottom has a list of what your agents are working on.Agents are given a small description and generate a task. That can then be reviewed and accepted if it's good, or iterated on by refining. Once accepted it can be dispatched to an agent for implementation. Once finished it comes back for review which can again then be iterated on. The crucial thing is that maAug 21, 2026 10:07 AM

Cybercriminals perfect 'social engineering': 'Each hack feeds the chances of the next one succeedinghttps://www.france24.com/en/video/20260821-cybercriminals-perfect-social-engineering-each-hack-feeds-the-chances-of-the-next-one-succeedingPeter O'Brien is pleased to welcome Simon McGarr, Lawyer with McGarr Solicitors in Dublin, and Managing Director of Data Compliance Europe. Cybersecurity is no longer simply a question of whether governments possess adequate technical defences, explains McGarr. AI is altering those risks at extraordinary speed, placing capabilities once associated with states or sophisticated criminal organizations within reach of much smaller actors. If threats evolve month by month, governments must focus on prevention: identifying vulnerabilities, adapting defenses and developing long-term institutional capacity before emerging threats become crises.Aug 21, 2026 10:04 AM

This OS version is no longer supported by Edge and Chrome 151+.This did not stop Edge from auto-updating to a known incompatible version and bricking itself.One minute I had the browser open; the next, the icon was overlayed with the Ghostbusters symbol and could do nothing but display a dialog explaining that my OS is unsupported.A fluke once perhaps, but this is the third time this has happened to me with various MS apps bricking themselves.I'm officially done with Microsoft products. This isn't some annoying bug; this is suddenly and abruptly locking me out of my own computer.Aug 21, 2026 4:55 AM
