Ask HN: Why is CI often failing in open source projects?
How does it happen? I'll typically run CI against Debian oldstable, stable and testing; those do change over time (versions of libraries etc) and that change can cause failures. That's desirable and the reason I have a monthly CI run for "finished" projects. Two main reasons I see frequently: * Limits on the free plan (runner minutes, timeouts, etc) * Ignoring hard-to-fix runs: flakey tests are a real problem and a pain to fix
