GitHub Actions is such a pain to use just because of how sluggish it feels. I hope they’ll improve performance.

#42Earlier quoted context omitted.
They just pushed a new redesigned page for pull request diffs- must have bloated the DOM.
I still see a little "try the new experience" link on the PR diff page (top right of page) so the rollout might be gradual. I won't click.

We used to use bitbucket Web hooks that used to trigger Jenkins jobs. This was almost instant. Now after migrating to GH actions it can take minutes before jobs start on push for example...

#45Can someone who's worked in an org this large help me understand how this happens? They surely do testing against major browsers and saw the performance issues before releasing. Is there really someone who gave the green light?
As someone who has worked in and with large orgs, the better question is "why does this always happen?". In large organizations "ownership" of a product becomes more nebulous from a product and code standpoint due to churn and a focus on short-sighted goals. If you put a lot of momentum behind a product with that mentality you get features piled on tech debt, no one gets enthusiastic about paying that down because it…
If a developer has to put up a fight in order to push back against the irresponsibility of a non-technical person, they by definition don't have ownership.

#47Improvements merged within the last two days by the WebKit team: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/170922#discuss... For my sins I occasionally create large PRs (> 1,000 files) in GitHub, and teammates (who mostly all use Chrome) will sometimes say "I'll approve once it loads for me..."
How long until those improvements reach users? I assume it requires an OS update or does Safari use something similar to Firefox and Chrome for faster updates?
But there is also the Safari Technology Preview, which installs as a separate app, but is also a bit more unstable. Similar to Chrome Canary.

#49It truly feels like Jira.
Wait until you plug it into JIRA, strap copilot and actions on it. Then you can have all flavours of hell at once. Our org has ground to a halt. A lot of the time we just break the branch permissions on the repo we are using and run release branches without PRs and ignore the entire web interface.

If you actually load up a ~2015 version of Jira on today’s hardware it’s basically instant.
