Oh again?

I was just debating if I was going to side step actions altogether for a new build and deployment flow.

I'm at a point where I'm going to set two permanent branches on the remote, one pertaining to each environment. The targets will poll for the latest commit at their configured branch and perform a rebuild internally if a change is detected. Assuming git core ops are still alive, it is possible to keep this running. It's also easy to migrate to a different vendor.

Whose agents have escaped this time?

Is github built out of a house of cards? How does this stuff keep happening?

I'm genuinely amazed by anyone still using github CI for anything serious.

Yeah, only yesterday I let claude build and deploy me a end to end project that will flicker my lifx light-bulb when commits to any open source project lands. In the morning I saw it stopped around 11 pm PST yesterday. I was wondering why and I was wondering, how easy it is do a complete working project like this in minutes and what is stopping people to do 100s of such project per day. Github wasn't built for this scenario.

I have not understood, and still do not understand, why everyone locks themselves into github's CI/CD pipeline. It's not hard to set up checks that run on a generic docker setup. I have a home server that I use for all my builds and checks, with a github actions config to run manually if I can't VPN into my home network.

Besides being more reliable, it's just faster to run on a machine you control.

doesnt surprise me
