@hazelweakly@hachyderm.io @zkat@toot.cat @xyhhx@nso.group @janl@narrativ.es I can say with a lot more authority than most that many people really, really do not have a good grasp of how much compute costs at scale. Folks take for granted the massive amount of subsidy that is happening across the industry for a whole host of ordinary developer tasks.

@anildash@me.dm the "at scale" part is the problem. people got spoiled with github marketplace (which, frankly, is a supply chain security nightmare) m gonna say it again: people can run their own runners on a community instance for like <$10/mo - or hell, use sourcehut at $2/mo. the vast majority of what people are doing can be achieved with a few shell scripts @hazelweakly@hachyderm.io @zkat@toot.cat @janl@narrativ.es
