Max Zawisa (Jan 15 2026 at 17:13):I always enjoy when Mat is on the pod.
Guess what… GitHub actions are down.image_E90A9FA5-EECE-4EA1-9E7F-C673054BBF3E_1768497157.png
Jerod Santo (Jan 15 2026 at 17:24):Everybody has downtime, but it does feel like GitHub's platform foundations have been wobbling more than usual lately.
Matthew Sanabria (Jan 23 2026 at 19:00):I'm ready for a GitHub improvement.
Matthew Sanabria (Jan 23 2026 at 19:01):Also I heard "little Rob Pike". I think it was this episode.
Jerod Santo (Jan 23 2026 at 19:02):Hah no I said “good ol’” Rob Pike, for real! :sweat_smile:
