Microsoft's GitHub next month plans to begin using customer interaction data – "specifically inputs, outputs, code snippets, and associated context" – to train its AI models.

I still don't quite understand. I self-host my runners, it's really easy (even behind a dynamic & shared 5G IP), free and limitless.

    This all obviously depend on your CI/CD needs. As I said, problem is with resource heavy stuff.

    I tried building my project on a base tier VPS from Hetzner using gitlab runner and it run out of memory. So I would have to pay for a more expensive VPS that would be sitting there idle most of the time. Doesn't make sense for me but if someone is running CI/CD all the time it may be a good option.

    I ended up installing the runner on a spare PC I have because I just needed it for couple of weeks. Having this PC sitting idle all the time also doesn't make much sense but if you're building a lot it may be a good option. But you do need a quite strong server at home and this costs money.

    And that's because I only need Linux machine. If I wanted to also build my app on Windows and Mac things get more complicated.

    Different people have different CI/CD needs. In some cases self-hosting runners is easy, in other cases replacing github, which gives you linux, windows and mac compute time for free, will be complicated.
