alt Hacker NewsI initially felt a bit offended when I saw this. Then I thought about it and at the end of the day there's a decent amount of infrastructure that goes into displaying the build information, updating it, scanning for secrets and redacting, etc.
I don't know if it's worth the amount they are targeting, but it's definitely not zero either.

Yeah, I think we’re seeing some fallout from how much developer infrastructure was built out during the era where VCs were subsidizing everything, similar to how a lot of younger people complained about delivery charges going up when they had to pay the full cost. Unfortunately, now a lot of the competition is gone so there isn’t much room to negotiate or try alternate pricing models.
Does it make sense to accept charge per minute when you are hosting yourself? When GHA is not very good?
You would think the fat monthly per-seat license fee we also pay would be enough to cover the costs of checks notes reading some data from the DB and hosting JSON APIs and webpages.
