Same for me. (Especially when interacting with https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1229654 , although I've had a smaller session the last few months.) So I generally keep track of try pushes in email (using a combination of the email try server sends, and an email that my push-to-try alias sends to myself with headers that cause the two to thread together), and only open the treeherder windows briefly when I think to look at them. On another note: I think we have two separate problems: (a) some people use Try too much (trigger too many builds) (b) some people don't use Try enough (break the tree) There are probably a decent number of people in neither group. There are probably very few if any people in both groups. The two groups should get different advice about how to use try. Advice that is important for one group may be counterproductive for the other group, since people may not have a great idea of which group (if either) that they're in. We should instead use data to target advice on use of try to the correct people, and also use that data to allow people to see where they fit in in terms of ratios of Try resource usage to pushes, and breaking the tree to pushes. -David -- 𝄞 L.
