I wrote a blog post about this a couple weeks ago [1], and I think as a result of writing it in the midst of the week-long annoyance that I had at having to quickly move my active projects over to GH Actions, I may have been a bit too negative in my overall tone.
I do like that this post expresses the gratitude for many years of free OSS CI that Travis did provide, and I especially want to echo that and thank the original founders and engineers who helped grow Travis CI and the entire idea of 'every project gets CI' that is now prevalent (in most professional realms), just like the previous generation embraced the idea of 'every project is in a VCS'.
It's too bad what's happened, I think, but Travis does have a great legacy.

- hinkley 6y agoI think in general we are tuned to have a stronger reaction to unexpected setbacks. The people who have no aversion to them end up dying by a thousand cuts, as a long series of predictable but ignored scenarios play out one after another. In the most delusional cases, blaming it all on bad luck instead of lack of foresight. Not every setback is a pattern, but if you have no histamine response at all then you will miss a lot of preventable issues.
