Opened GitHub up to find a project I worked on a couple years ago but didn't log in. I visited 2 pages and then got this error on the 3rd.
1: My profile
2: The repo
3: A specific PR link from the file tree -> Gives me the error
Is this normal for GitHub these days?

Developing a CLI app that uses ATProto oauth. To achieve this I make use of the local host client ID so that the callback comes back to the users machine.
Problem is that every time the app is run and an oauth request happens a new "app" appears here. Is there a way to do this better?

This is a such a small but powerful change in the upcoming Go 1.25 release. I’ve seen (and done myself) the bug of adding to the wait group inside a go routine, soo many times.
