    Unfortunately, India's focus is on everything but models. Hope I am wrong but the VCs there are now very risk free and are only investing in Snacks, Beauty and similar companies ma…

    And it is bypassing mandatory GHA Pipeline check and giving green. So be careful when merging/reviewing your PRs cause.

    I think GCP has been giving out lucrative contracts with lots of discounts and credits which has led to this growth. I've seen many companies jump the ship cause they got 100/200k …

    Sure, if this was one off isolated incident people would have agreed with you. But it's not. Even Google personal accounts have been used to ban their other ones including ones spe…

    100% agree, I've seen on Twitter and HN small players facing similar issues with no recourse and response from Google. I don't know what kind of place they are trying to build ther…

    I guess firing so many in the Github team was not that wise a decision. But immediate share holder value go vrooom. Long term impact? Leadership aint gonna stay to see that.
