The beauty of jenkins is that you can use it for pretty much anything.
- sanderjd 8y agoI tend to feel the opposite about things you can use for pretty much anything. I much prefer tools that are good for a single thing. I really disliked maintaining a Jenkins instance awhile back; maybe this "jack of all trades" ethos is part of the reason I felt that way.
- brightball 8y agoI tend to prefer simplified stack, especially for tools that don't need to be touched very often.
- sanderjd 8y agoI can't tell: are you saying that using Jenkins results in the simplified stack you prefer? If so, I don't agree; I think Jenkins is a very un-simple way to run from jobs.
- brightball 8y agoWhen I say simplified stack I mean fewer tools that must be learned and managed by people. Jenkins simplifies in that way.
- sanderjd 8y agoInteresting. I still don't see it that way. It seems less like a single tool when used in this way than multiple tools running alongside one another. Different strokes for different folks I suppose!
