Is the concept that requiring a demo for developer tools is a negative signal that strange?
CI is also notoriously expensive to migrate, which the author alluded to. The pumpkin spice latte of software engineering is disdain for things like Jira and Jenkins but what keeps them in their seat is all the custom integration work that has to be done.
- a1o 3y agoThe thing with Jenkins is you can also make it custom enough so you have different teams handling different parts (say the building and the deployment, or the releases). In most CIs this is a bit harder to do - I think the Azure Classic pipeline also had interesting ways to delegate responsibilities. In the end the good thing of the different CIs is they apply to different problems and one can use them all at different parts of a company - teams that work in more innovative developments vs teams that maintain products that have to be trusted and adhere to many regulations.
