Github was great at the time when it replaced Sourceforge. But that was a long time ago and actually better alternatives are popping up left and right. And that's even without Microsoft's recent-ish enshittifaction process (e.g. letting everything rot that's not AI related). Githubs entire management and development process is simply broken beyond repair, monkeys at the wheel or not.

PS: also Gitlab CI is so much better than GH Actions that they are not even in the same league. It is very apparent that Gitlab is actually dogfooding their stuff, which is not the impression I get from any Github feature.

Oh come on.

Micros$$$$ft owns github.

We don't need to give some pretend sympathy.

When you can afford to have good things, and you're not, don't come crying about getting called bad names.

Actions is bad.

> I dare anyone who is delusional enough to think they can create something better to actually make something better

Actions speak louder than words.

Zig is leaving because of the issues they mentioned.

> People tried other services like GitLab and realized it is slower, uglier and overall worse than GH and came crawling back.

Maybe. I guess we'll see.

I think the OP has been pretty clear that they're not happy with it, and, they're putting their money where their mouth is.

Clearly, just complaining about broken things isn't working.

Maybe a couple more big moves like this is what GH needs to wake up and allocate some more resources (that they, can categorically afford) to fixing things.
