Summary
A Bruno J. post describes how a company's coding agents pushed weekly pull requests from 42–75 in June to 694 in late October, and how it moved most CI off GitHub's runners to a €99-a-month dedicated server. GARM gives each job a fresh Incus VM. GitHub-billed minutes fell from 19,359 to 611 in three weeks. Costs include slow busy afternoons, a single point of failure, and a possible GitHub self-hosted fee. The figures are self-reported, and the link to the Opus 5.5 release is the author's inference.
