I think GitHub has completely lost the plot over the last year or so, I don't think the stuff I work on will leave any time soon but I'm slowly losing my patience with github.
The other week I spent about an hour trying to figure out why my actions jobs were just stuck on waiting and not starting.
For my personal stuff, I think I'm going to migrate to either my own selfhosted instance of something like gitea or codeberg, the juice just isn't worth the squeeze anymore imo for GitHub, even with stuff like free runners and pages.
I personally think this is mainly attributed to GH Copilot and I would love to know if MS/GH even makes a profit on it.
I like that its more consistent than the 4o and o4 days but still 5.4, 5.3, 5.2, etc still are a mess, for example 5.2 and 5.1 don't have mini models and 5.3 was codex only.
Anthropic is slightly better but where is 4.6 or 4.7 haiku or 4.7 sonnet etc.
I've used claude cowork a bit, which I believe is pretty similar to claw.
Can't think of much use for it at the moment but I have it just read and summarise my email, calendar events and git repo in a daily briefing format, it only has readonly access to both, as I dont trust it to do stuff for me or on my behalf.
The briefing thing is nice though not super useful.
If you watch the movie johnny mnemonic, they throw around data cubes the size of a stamp. Modern nvme ssds weigh around 4 grams per TB. So we've already achieved scifi movie parity :D. The only problem is the price.
I'm a little bit old. When I ordered my first M.2 drive, I had never seen one IRL. I'd assumed about RAM-stick size. Nope! Thumb-sized! The future is amazing! So... give it enough time and eventually the mundane will scratch that itch, I guess?
