The core git hosting has been solid for me, but Actions has been noticeably flakier in recent months. More random runner timeouts, longer queue times for larger runners, and occasional runs that just silently hang.

The frustrating part isn't the outages themselves — it's that the feedback loop for debugging them is so slow. A step fails, you read logs, make a guess, push, wait 5 minutes for the run to get to the same point, and repeat. There's no way to inspect the state of a runner mid-pipeline or retry a single step without re-running the whole workflow.

Reliability issues hurt more when your only debugging tool is "push and pray" (im a recovering vc)
