alt Hacker NewsYeah, 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.

Is this really the case? Because GitHub availability has been going downhill since way before models hit that critical mass of quality end of last year.
Free Github Actions weren't built for this scenario.
Make Github Actions a paid-tier exclusive and this problem goes away.
GitHub are too scared to do that after the backlash around charging people for their own runners, but this would be a very different thing, simply stop giving free actions to people who have never paid them a penny.
