> GitHub actions. It’s … bad. I suppose there wasn’t a predecessor that was better
There might not have been a predecessor, but it's been obvious for at least a decade that GHA are a very poorly designed programming language, yet nothing was done to improve. They introduced Github Apps that solve many of the issues with Actions, but that requires deploying a service and aren't anywhere near the ease of use of Actions.
Isn't it a dumbed down version of Azure Pipelines?
It depends on whether its authors were aware of Azure Pipelines and used them as a source of inspiration. Perhaps.
