"Almost nobody will be impacted by this, and the money is basically nothing!" Cool, so why're you setting your brand perception on fire to do it?
96% of customers are unimpacted by the change. Of the 4% of Actions users impacted by this change, 85% will see their Actions bill decrease. Of the 15% who are impacted across all cohorts the median increase is $13. From our individual users (free & Pro plans) of those who used GitHub Actions in the last month in private repos only 0.09% would end up with a price increase, with a median increase of under $2 a month. Note that this impact is after these users have made use of their included minutes in their plans today, entitling them to over 33 hours of included GitHub compute, and this has no impact on their free use of public repos. A further 2.8% of this total user base will see a decrease in their monthly cost as a result of these changes. The rest are unimpacted by this change.
This price change goes out across all of actions platform, not just self-hosted runners. It aligns pricing to match consumption and our cost patterns (infra, eng, and support) as usage grows across both hosted and self-hosted.

I often need to undo the last commit, but the command is so complicated that I finally just created an alias.
alias gitnvm="git reset --soft HEAD~1"

Fun fact: we deployed 3,350 new versions of the Stripe API last year.
Despite crazy transaction volumes over the holiday period and record growth rates, @Stripe API availability was 99.996% over the past 90 days. Proud of what our infrastructure teams accomplished last year and lots more global infra + latency improvement planned for 2021.

one of my favorite things we've done at honeycomb, which i encourage others to steal shamelessly, is to make sure there is at least one 3-day weekend per month. if one doesn't exist, we pick a friday and *make* one.

NOBODY actually does all the BTC transactions on BTC. Most are wallet transfers between say Coinbase accounts.
BTC is more of a conversion ratio - than a real transactions platform. Assuming Coinbase runs on AWS, the real blockchain is likely RDS. :)

So many folks (esp. the media) are missing the complete backstory on $GME and how we got here.
This has been simmering for over a year and the story behind it is great. I’ve been tracking this since September and devoured all of the details from the origin through today.

You're familiar with "what color should we paint the bikeshed" as an engineering parable?
200 distinct service teams are each tasked with painting four square feet of the bikeshed apiece.

One of the benefits I've experienced working at large/well-known companies like Uber:
You meet engineers you consider "heroes". Who have done/are doing epic things.
You learn from them. Get inspired. And realize they're people who aren't perfect, not too different from you.

Just a reminder that the Windows 3.1 File Manager (fileman.exe) still works on Windows 10. Say what you will about Microsoft but they do stay keeping backwards compat. It's even open source AND in the Windows Store microsoft.com/en-us/p/window…

I'm collecting my thoughts on building payments systems. It's hard to talk about these without drawing things.
Here's an experiment to visualize things, over just writing, starting with basics, before diving into the specifics.
Does this make sense? Feedback welcome!
