This was before Actions and a whole lot of other non-git related stuff. There was years (maybe even a decade?) where GitHub essentially was unchanged besides fixes and small incremental improvements, long time ago :)

GH Actions was good for them as another billable feature, but I'm skeptical we actually gained much over external CI providers

The improvements to PR review have been nice though

> The improvements to PR review have been nice though

I dunno, probably the worst UX downgrade so far, almost no PRs are "fully available" on page load, but requires additional clicks and scrolling to "unlock" all the context, kind of sucks.

Used to be you loaded the PR diff and you actually saw the full diff, except really large files. You could do CTRL+F and search for stuff, you didn't need to click to expand even small files. Reviewing medium/large PRs is just borderline obnoxious today on GH.

		I find it impossible to use the current diff view for most codebases, and spend tons of time clicking open all available sections... They have somehow found the worst possible amount of context for doing review. I tend to pull everything down to VS Code if I want to have any confidence these days.

Don't forget the security implications if you host your own actions runner.
