But did it make them more productive?

Oh it does... but what happens after 6 months is an entirely different story.

A codebase that has exploded in size 2-3 times in just a few months,... internal architecture that is not layers of simple parts anymore, but, layers of complex architectures corresponding to individual agentic runs,... a codebase that now has 10 times more if-else and individual codepaths because you were not clear enough in your requirements, and used the phrase "handle all cases",... a codebase that neither you, nor anyone else now understands properly, thus, can't comment on what's possible anymore, and and at what costs when your manager or PM asks,...and finally, due to combined effect of these, a need for an ever increasing token budget, and constantly increasing fragilty of new AI-generated code due to repeated context compactions.

And we haven't even touched on the security and performance elements yet.

The right way to use these tools is to use them as, what I like to call, "code-monkeys". You tell them exactly what you want, where you want, how to do it, and how to architecture it, and more.. and then make them code.


Do you realize how disastrous it would be for the open-source ecosystem to remove actions from the free tier?

Yeah, I can't imagine if open source maintainers had to pay for their own laptop, food, electricity, housing, transportation, or compute time.

They might have to figure out running CI on their own hardware. The horror.

Open source developers got along perfectly well before free GHA compute. It hasn’t been around for that long.

This is 100% against githubs TOS lol.

Some years ago I toyed with the idea of running a minecraft server inside github actions, I used tailscale to create a public endpoint and saved the world in an artifact that was re-loaded on the next run. It worked really well, but the point was never to actually use it for real.


Different companies and websites will very often have TOS's that contradict each other. TOS is contract law, so any single TOS only represents that one company's interests.

No, these are dev machines you use for your software building, so it's not.

> The litellm_init.pth IS in the official package manifest — the RECORD file lists it with a sha256 hash. This means it was shipped as part of the litellm==1.82.8 wheel on PyPI, not injected locally.

This is the scariest part for me.


Maybe the people who use emacs for everything are the only safe ones?


straight and elpaca etc. are just as vulnerable. Maybe more so.



rclone?


>designed to store and scale to tens of petabytes of infrequently accessed data...

It's not really the same product.


>Free API calls: Effective May 1, we’re making API calls free for all B2 Cloud Storage customers.

>Storage price: Also effective May 1, we are updating pricing from $6/TB to $6.95/TB

Honestly amazing change. The free API changes are going to cut our bills in half. the 95cent increase per TB is totally reasonable.


That’s a 15% price increase. Last increase from $5 to $6 was in October 3, 2023.


This follows HDD and SSD price increases.


When you consider the rise in energy prices as well…


Same here, the API calls have always been heavier for me than the storage costs. It of course depends upon each use case, but this is overall a win for how I've been using it.

Even with the storage increase, still way more affordable than S3 or many of the other alternatives out there.


Now I just want to see what this post will be translated to...
