Jilles van Gurp

Spending an hour on straightening out the age old problem of "put this ffing thing over there" with Github actions and Google cloud.

You can't test gh actions locally so it's basically me hitting every permutation of possible problems until it somehow works and committing things like "maybe this will work", "yaml syntax fix", etc.

Devops is 95% doing absolutely mundane time wasting shit like that. Just micromanaging a file copy here. Why do the tools suck balls?

@jillesvangurp I'm 100% with you. All these Cloud services barely have any testing/staging environment. Now they're adding totally overhyped automation and AI tooling that makes just waste even more time trying to get a somewhat deterministic user experience. *written fuming over Atlassian Cloud automation*

@maxheadroom as the CTO of a tiny company that's basically just me and another guy, one of my first decisions was to veto anything with the word Atlassian in it.

100% Atlassian free operation. But some things are just unavoidable apparently.
