CompilerFax: Sending C source code via telefax to a compiler-as-a-service

• tomsmeding 2y ago
  Looking at the video, it is not only a compile-and-run service, it is furthermore a code formatting service! That code in the response is not the same as the code that went in. :P

  The brutal ergonomics of this already seem to be approximate to my experience coding on Go microservices, CICD and cloud/Kuberbetes cluster. I can’t run single a bit of it locally and the testing feedback loop is tied to a 45 minute CICD pipeline (with a build queue, of course). This might be a great way to feel our pain.

I hope this is not a common situation to be in. Environments should easily be reproduced locally as in the cloud. This reminds of how difficult it was to setup github actions because you cannot run the pipeline locally, so to succeed with your pipeline, you have to do trial & error with the only feedback given from the Github Actions server.

      You can use `act` to run github actions locally. But its still unpleasant and there is still some friction (like: use sudo, or don't use sudo)

        After 10m of using act I gave up, because of the millions of "oh so slightly different" environment than github actions.

    What size of company do you work for? Fixing crap like this is my whole deal.
