I know there's all kinds of biases in what we see.

But, from a european gamedev standpoint, I have never worked in a company that professionally depended on github-actions.

All I ever saw was Gitlab-CI and Jenkins (and a small instance of buildbot).

So seeing the absolute dominance of github-actions is somewhat jarring to me and doesn't paint a picture of my lived reality.

That said; none of what I'm talking about is open source - but I would expect to see more gitlab-ci in this list.

It seems biased that only GitHub was scraped, that seems like it would mostly exclude systems linked to other forges like GitLab CI.

Make is still king in 2025. I don't understand why someone would use Just or Taskfile instead of Make. My only hypothesis is that people believe (erroneously) that whatever is new is automatically better than what is older.

Cool comparison. Both guys helped shape early computing but in totally different ways, one pushing from the garage, the other from within the system. It’s a good reminder that innovation doesn’t follow one path and impact isn’t always loud or obvious at first.
