alt Hacker Newsas usual for Microslop products: it's designed for maximum lock-in
everything is including some crappy proprietary yaml rather than using standard tooling
so instead of being a collection of easily composable and testable bits it's a mess that only works on their platform
It seems more of a cultural issue that -- I'm pretty sure -- predates Microsoft's acquisition of GitHub. I assume crappy proprietary yaml can be blamed on use of Ruby. And there seems to be an odd and pervasive "80% is good enough" feel to pretty much everything in GitHub, which is definitely cultural, and I'm pretty sure, also predates Microsoft's acquisition.
