Github continues to Downfall

GitHub Actions has suffered from critical bugs for years, including a poorly implemented sleep function that causes infinite loops, consuming entire CPUs and costing users thousands of dollars. A simple fix submitted in 2024 took over a year to merge despite the bug causing CI jobs to hang indefinitely. The codebase shows questionable engineering decisions, from using ping commands as sleep alternatives to busy-wait loops that waste compute resources. These neglected issues have led projects like Zig to abandon GitHub entirely for alternative platforms.
