I hear ya; you're not off on most of this. However if you're building a web service, Vercel (and its kin) make CI/CD ridiculously easy. Easy as in like 5 minutes easy, and it's worth the 5 minutes for the all the benefits.
- presentation 4y agoYeah and most web framework init scripts even fully set up a testing framework too.

The sum total of time spent on CI/CD and tests is not the time it takes to get it started, it's the time spent executing the tests/CI/CD into the future, thinking about the tests/CI/CD, problem solving the tests/CI/CD. All these things require ongoing time which takes time away from developing the application.
- HWR_14 4y agoThinking about the tests may be an ongoing cost, but the whole point of CI/CD is that I never have to think about certain things again. That's also the idea behind the tests, but there is admittedly more work keeping the tests up to date than the CI/CD pipeline.
