If anyone from Astral sees this: at this level of effort, how do you deal with the enormous dependence on Github itself? You maintain social connections with upstream, and with PyPA... what if Github is compromised/buggy and changes the effect of some setting you depend on?
- bognition 6mo ago> what if Github is compromised/buggy What if? GitHub has is extremely buggy! I'm getting increasingly frustrated with the paper cuts that have become endemic across the entire platform. For example its not uncommon for one of our workflows to fail when cloning a branches of the repo they are running in.
- carderne 6mo agoI deliberately didn't mention this because I think most of the pain with Github over the last year is probably caused to some degree by their scale, which seems like an unrelated issue. (But maybe not.)
- woodruffw 6mo agoWe talk to GitHub as well! You're right that they are an enormous and critical dependency, and we pay close attention to the changes they make to their platform.
