Short summary

Author scanned 35 popular open-source repos (Vite, Next.js, Prisma, Astro, ESLint) and identified near-universal GitHub Actions misconfigurations: 33 repos missing job timeouts, 32 without path filters, 32 without concurrency cancel. High-quality projects like trpc and drizzle-orm have workflows stuck in failed states for months. Released gitspider.com, a free scanner to detect these fixable patterns, estimate CI costs, and avoid runaway macOS/Windows billing.
