I dont automate CI/CD because I'd rather be sword-fighting on roller chairs, I automate because I value the cost of my own work time and truly would rather spend it on a more interesting problem. (To say nothing of the fact its all too easy to make mistakes where processes arent automated, and I dont enjoy making mistakes)
I dont disagree with your observations, just saying "productivity" gain is pretty far down the list of benefits to me personally
- unclebucknasty 5y agoMine is not an "automation = bad" position. Obviously, it has value. It's more to say that automation is frequently implemented in a way that treats devs as just another part of an automated pipeline, not much different than software. >"productivity" gain is pretty far down the list of benefits to me personally Yeah, in reply to the other comment, I was saying that automation from an organizational perspective is not so much about improving the quality of life for devs, as it is about increasing their productivity.
