  • just different ingredient expectations or something

    No, it’s fundamental to the way LLMs (don’t) work. Take 10 random pages from a cookbook. Look at the cook times. I’m guessing the “impossible” times you’ve noticed will be within the range of times from the random cookbook.

    The LLM doesn’t actually know anything about cooking; it’s just mashing together something plausible based on 1000 previous cookbooks.



  • That’s a great idea if it’s possible, but I want to say it wouldn’t have helped with our environment at the time.

    I almost wish I could look back at that repo and share the yaml file here, maybe I was missing something back then. I’m certainly more proficient with yaml now.

    I do recall wishing there was a way to simulate the execution locally. I think I remember hearing about a local runner, but it had too many caveats to help.


  • We use Azure Devops at my current gig. It works pretty well for our setup. I’ve used GHA before; it definitely didn’t “spark joy”. I wastedspent way too many hours in the “update yaml file, commit, push, wait 5 minutes for it to fail again” spiral of despairfeedback loop.

    Nice thing with ADO is its release dashboard – you get a really nice summary of recent builds and where they went:

    $project - dev - test - prod

    I didn’t see anything similar for GHA.
