What did you switch to, and what do you like about it?

Running tests locally. It's primitive, but incredibly reliable, and a breeze to debug if (big if) there is any dependency issue.

How do you ensure you or your contributors didn’t forget to run the tests?

You’d need at least some hash of sources + test results, and check that it matches that (in CI).

And you’d still deal with environment differences.

Do you know of a single service at a single company that actually does that? I know all of Gmail, every GCE service I can think of, every AWS service I can think of, Amazon.com, Netflix, and Github all do not page on just a single 500. I know none of those are particularly "high performance" though. Curious where your experience is coming from.

The sub-service at IBM cloud I worked on had an insanely small error budget such that pages were nearly constant. On call was hell week until a few of us insisted on fixing the issues. The "few" of us were contractors. The employees seemed more than willing to just let the pages continue.

Some companies pay more if people are paged. It can create a perverse incentive not to fix problems or, in extreme cases, to watch things going wrong, waiting for the page, and then being ready to fix it straight away.

I commented on the other post, but GHA's awful reliability, ergonomics and performance have caused me to quit my job and work on https://harmont.dev .

Anyone else notice that the first/near top comment on every HackerNews post lately is someone saying something along the lines of "I had X problem so I went and started working on Y solution if you want to give it a look?"

I don't want to delve into it any further - but something about it seems incongruous. It's not spam it's submarine marketing.

I mean, it is a community that self-selects for builders and startup-types.

Same thing's all over Reddit, too.

If you don't want to self-host Gitea/Forgejo, I recommend SourceHut for private repos and Codeberg for public ones. Happy to answer any questions you might have for either based on my experience!

What's wrong with codeberg for private repos?

I'm more than happy with https://codefloe.com for private repos. The service is blazing fast and the maintainer does a great job keeping it up-to-date with recent Forgejo releases.
