vyrotekon Angular v22

I must admit, modern angular has been a pleasure to use. It's a shame that the ecosystem is a little rough. Luckily you get so much out of the box already.

vyrotekon My new obsession: A horse-racing board game of pure luck

Sounds fun. But I'd probably consider a physical and automated version instead.

https://docs.github.com/en/actions/concepts/runners/github-h...

https://github.com/actions/runner-images#about

A few threads where blips have affected both services.
