meh, I dunno.

Using bare-metal requires competent Unix admins, and Actions team is full of javascript clowns (see: decision to use dashes in environment variable; lack of any sort of shell quoting support in templates; keeping logs next to binaries in self-hosted runners). Perhaps they would be better off using infra someone else maintains.

They're handing it from themselves to themselves. We're talking about Microsoft, not some startup.

So does running VMs in a cloud provider.

Except now we call them "DevOps" or "SRE" and pay them 1.5-2x.

(as a former SRE myself, I'm not complaining).
