There's a wonderful documentary by BBC Horizon with Andrew Wiles from 1996 – highly recommend! I saw it in the 90's and it's a documentary for everyone. It captures the effort, struggle, highs and lows of a 7 year effort working on Fermat's Last Theorem.
Perhaps Railway does a bit more than what you think, they have some great functionality (I'm not affiliated with them). Check out [Features | Railway](https://railway.com/features) "PR Environments", they are incredible for the QA process
I wasn't going to pipe up because I wasn't sure that a Hackernews thread is a good substitute for an issue tracker... but it's related to new AI-driven workflows so I hope it chins the bar.
Now that I work on 3-8 concurrent projects, I want to have them most of them open so I can interact, sense-check, be engaged in the work. When I tear down one worktree, ALL projects open in RubyMine concurrently re-index. It kills my M3 Max and I have to force quit. Then when I restart RubyMine it does the same so I have to race to press the tiny pause button on just enough of the projects for it to not die. There's no way to tweak the re-indexing settings or determine when it will kick off. WHY it kicks off - i don't know.
This is the single thing that's led me to Zed/VSCode, or to not open more than 2 at a time.
Nothing ground breaking we simply deploy Buildkite agents on EC2 nodes.
As mentioned in the post, the only thing really limiting CI parallelism is the ratio of "setup time" vs "test time". If your setup time is too long, you hit diminishing returns fast.

I agree. And the longevity of them specifically for me. My M1 (MBP and MBA) keyboards shine after a few weeks' of activity whereas no shining on older MBPs with a decade of use – it reeks of a quality degradation.
I believe multiple screens are possible, even on the M1 MBA, you just need a docking station. Officially some don't support multiple screens, but there are mainstream solutions to this in the form of docking stations, just not sure why Apple doesn't even so much as hint that it's possible. It's a really unclear process!
It's possible only if you use a DisplayLink dock which requires using very specific dongles and installing specific third-party drivers. Our company already has 10-ish Dell Monitors with USB-C docks integrated, also Thunderbolt Dell docks, and neither of these work. There is no workaround.
This is why I use dark mode too – and it's made a huge difference for me. My floaters are particularly noticeable on white-backgrounded screens/webpages on my 43" external monitor where because, I assume, my eyes have to dart across greater distances than when I'm using my MBP 14".
