alt Hacker NewsI've not understood the propensity for using yaml for CI pipelines and workflows in general. A decent programming language would be a big improvement.
Why not just build the workflows themselves as docker images? I guess running other docker images in the workflow would then become a problem.
it's wild I can wiz through a ton of code for hours on end but seeing a yaml file for something like a CI pipeline actually makes my brain eject i dunno why. my brain has some sort of proverbial capacity limit with how many different configuration-file looking things I can tolerate in a day, and the prospect of becoming intimately familiar with what is effectively an auto integration presented to me as some sort of config makes me completely unjustifiably butthurt for no reason. have i not suffered enough needless and often times limiting abstractions already
