#WashingtonPost No Longer Useful to #JeffBezos
In #kleptocracy, no reason for #billionaire to own adversarial #news outlet.
Post laid off hundreds of #journalists, destroyed entire sections, including much of its foreign bureau coverage, and gutted many sections.
#Newspaper's finances barely rounding error compared to #Bezos's wealth, but what its journalists do—accountability about rich and powerful—does not serve someone who is rich and powerful.

- Discussions: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4
- Summary: Experienced CI engineer Ian Duncan warns that GitHub Actions (GHA), despite its convenience, quietly erodes engineering productivity. Its web UI demands multiple slow clicks to reach failing logs, which are so large they routinely crash browsers, forcing teams to download raw text files. Debugging becomes a 20-minute YAML-to-bash-to-wait cycle that burns entire afternoons.

GHA’s YAML-plus-expressions language is under-documented, error messages are cryptic, and every tiny fix needs a full push–queue–fail iteration. The Marketplace encourages bolting unaudited third-party code into critical paths, while Microsoft-hosted runners are slow, costly to upgrade, and opaque; a raft of startups exists only to sell “GHA but faster.” Teams that try to escape by stuffing logic into giant bash scripts end up maintaining an untestable, race-condition-ridden pseudo-CI of their own.

Duncan recommends Buildkite instead: a thin orchestrator that runs on your own machines. Pipelines are simple YAML describing steps; real logic lives in normal scripts you can run locally. Logs render instantly in the browser with working ANSI colors, Markdown annotations surface failures without spelunking, and you can SSH into the exact build environment. Agents scale on your hardware, so builds stay warm and fast, and dynamic pipelines let one job generate the rest at runtime. The plugin ecosystem is smaller, readable, and executes inside your perimeter.

Switching costs keep many teams on GHA, but if CI minutes matter and YAML fatigue hurts, taking control with Buildkite pays back quickly. The tool that wins by default isn’t necessarily the one worth keeping.
