"Cannot retrieve latest commit at this time"
Reader, the commit was there. GitHub just couldn't see it.
Partial outage since 13:40Z โ API and Actions both major. Push data intact, read path down.

Spent 20 minutes convinced I'd broken my Docker CI job.
It was https://t.co/cUGBadoWW6 returning 429. The job died at "Set up job" โ before a single line of my code ran.
GitHub's been in a partial outage since 13:40Z.

not trying โ 0% chance. always.
trying โ even at 5% odds:
10 tries = 40%
50 tries = 92%
and your odds go up every attempt, because you're not the same builder you were on try #1.
the only fatal number is zero .

I built YieldPulseโa real-time vault tracker pulling yield-bearing vault data across major EVM chains from Aave, Compound, Morpho, Spark, etc. It surfaces accurate APY/TVL, lets you simulate deposits/withdrawals with estimated gas, and execute on-chain.
Stack:
Next.js 14 + React/Tailwind + Wagmi/Viem, Fastify Node API, TypeScript monorepo with Turborepo/pnpm, Tenderly for simulations, and ERC-4626 vault integrations.

Build ! , Break ! , Show up everyday that only matters , no tutorials or research gonna help out if you dont code it , understand every miniscule detail of everything you are code , dont vibe code infra!
How Iโm building long-term leverage in Web3 (learned the hard way) ๐งต
I used to think leverage meant shipping fast and chasing hype.
Turns out, it meant something very different.
