Kyle Daigle (@kdaigle) Yup, platform activity is surging. There were 1 billion commits in 2025. Now, it's 275 million per week, on pace for 14 billion this year if growth remains linear (spoiler: it won't.) GitHub Actions has grown from 500M minutes/week in 2023 to 1B minutes/week in 2025, and now 2.1B minutes so far this week. So we're pushing incredibly hard on more CPUs, scaling services, and strengthening GitHub’s core features. And as a fine purveyor of hand-crafted shit code for many years, I'm not gonna weigh in on that. 🤣 — https://nitter.net/kdaigle/status/2040164759836778878#m

Engineering Tradeoffs: Subscription Model Optimization Strategy
By

I know it sucks. Fundamentally engineering is about tradeoffs, and one of the things we do to serve a lot of customers is optimize the way subscriptions work to serve as many people as possible with the best model. Third party services are not optimized in this way, so it's

Tech tools fragility challenges development workflows
By
–
It's been a very frustrating and unproductive week for me. I tried to do several of my projects the "right" way (as opposed to just hacking them until they work), but I re-discovered how utterly fragile and unreliable most of the tech tools we have are once you try to use them

From ASCII Art to 3D Graphics on Mobile Devices

Back in the Apple II days people would call up our BBS and drop off some files of ASCII art. No GPUs back then.

If you told me that someday I would be able to view color scenes mapped out in depth like this on a device I held in my hand I would have told you to pass the joint so… https://t.co/djymZ9nOaxBack in the Apple II days people would call up our BBS and drop off some files of ASCII art.
