But GitHub CI is really immature, difficult to use, and just can’t do anything beyond the basics. I’m sure it’s great for individual projects and startups but it just doesn’t scale for enterprise use. Everyone gets excited at using yaml to describe workflow, but then you’re kind of stuck with shell scripts for actual implementation and the easy stuff runs out after the first hour. I am very much not impressed.

Engineers are excited over all the “candy” they see opensource projects use, and don’t understand most of that will be blocked because we’re an effing security company and you just can’t use random code

So I’m trying to create a shared workflow for like 5,000 repos and it’s miserable. After a couple weeks I have a couple thousand lines of generated shell script that’s already beyond my ability to maintain to maintain by hand. So I’m well past “I told you so”, and my only route forward is yet more generated shell script. It’s too late to try to contribute without ai
