last month my github ci bill was $60, so i asked Claude to set up ci on a PC at home i barely use… this month my bill will be $0
it also made this cute terminal visualization y can check from my phone
our github ci bill went from $0 to $380/month in a few months. was heading to $800 in october
reason: coding agents push ~300 times a day and our test suite grew 5x since august
fix: no ci on prs anymore. dev only builds + deploys staging. full tests run nightly and on the release pr
new bill: ~$0
