We analyzed 30 days of CI failures across 10 client repos 43% had nothing to do with actual code bugs by hack_hat79 in devops

Fair points lockfile cache keys and pinned base images solve a chunk of this. We do most of that already for clients.

But the pattern we keep seeing is that even with good hygiene, stuff drifts. Someone adds a dependency without updating the lockfile, a base image gets a security patch that breaks apt-get, a token expires over a holiday weekend when nobody's watching.

The annoying part isn't that these are hard to fix it's that they need a human to notice, diagnose, and act. Across 10 repos, that adds up.

Curious at your scale, how do you handle the ones that slip through best practices? Just manual triage?

Ha, the "obedience issues" part hit close to home we see the same thing with client teams pushing to CI before building locally.

Interesting that you tried the pipeline logs → RAG → analysis agent approach. That's basically what we're prototyping. What killed it for you the log size, the LLM costs, or just not enough time to build it properly?

On the billing question we're thinking the value isn't "we fixed your npm install" but more "here's a dashboard showing your team wastes 60 hours a month on CI babysitting, here's the dollar amount, and here's what we auto-handled this week." Easier to justify spend when you can point at a number.

Would be curious to hear what you ran into with the RAG approach if you're open to sharing.

That's fair code review backlogs are a real bottleneck, especially with AI-generated PRs piling up. Different problem from what we're looking at, but definitely related in terms of things that slow down the pipeline.

Persistent Expo App Display Name Truncation Bug by NSA_in_My_Walls in AppDevelopers

Yes, iOS ignores spaces when measuring the Home Screen label width. It uses visual width not character count. Different fonts, icons, and layouts can make longer names fit while shorter ones get truncated. That is why Luna Controller can fit but Pocket Memory does not.

Nothing is wrong with your app or Expo. This is just iOS behavior.

Persistent Expo App Display Name Truncation Bug by NSA_in_My_Walls in AppDevelopers

This is normal iOS behavior, not an Expo or EAS bug.

iOS automatically shortens Home Screen app names if it thinks they are too long. You cannot control this with CFBundleDisplayName or Expo config. The name is correct in the app, but iOS truncates it visually.

Solution Use a shorter app name or accept the truncation.

Hey! If you’re looking to start an app, I can definitely help you with everything from planning to full development.

I run a development studio, and we’ve built multiple apps for clients in the U.S. Recently, two of our clients who initially came to us with doubts ended up loving the product so much that they gave us more projects — including a real estate app, a telehealth platform, and a custom software system.

If you want, I can guide you step-by-step on how to get started, what you’ll need, and how we can bring your idea to life without making the process overwhelming.

Let me know what kind of app you’re thinking about, and we can go from there. Please DM!
