Mostly (but of course, not exclusively), porn for the techies. Receiving a phone notification every time a PR is opened on a project of yours? Exciting or sad, depends on one's outlook on life.

I thought emails from github already did that?

  • I think the more useful part is the parts that checks a ticket, fixes a bug, then opens the PR automatically. Whether you get an email or a phone text or call from a voice agent is ... somewhat secondary, im.

    • Fixes a bug, yeah that's some wishful thinking right there. I don't think it counts if it adds three new ones in the process.
