Fair enough if you've some development environment automation and you want the CI to run it as well so CI is consistent with local development. Don't know exactly what your doing b…

The problem is some stuff is a real pain to test with static assertions. Such as I was saying about compilers. It would be a real pain to maintain an expected AST in a unit test, t…

I mean... They told you why it takes so long no? the runners come by default with loads of programming languages installed like Rust, Haskell, Node, Python, .Net etc so it sets all…

Ansible is CaC(Config as Code) not IaC(Infrastructure as Code) they're for different things.

This is what I done, GitHub Actions is basically a command line as a service for my projects. It does nothing but checkout the code, means I can do all the releasing, artefact uplo…

I mean all CIs work out of the box, although I have no interest in self hosting CI. Jenkins is probably a bit like Java, technically it is fine. The problem is really where/who typ…

It is called snapshot testing, very valid technique. Maybe not best suited to a mathematical function like they have here, but I have found it useful for stuff like compilers asser…

Yes I am seeing what your saying, it can start of simple and people will choose the path of least resistance and you'll end up with a ball of mud eventually. Fortunately I have not…

I replaced building/testing etc inside Docker containers to just using Nix. * https://github.com/DeveloperC286/clean_git_history/commit/f8...

Java has numerous problems, it's not as simple as use Java not Rust. To be honest I actively avoid any tooling written in Java.

Jobs run in parallel, so if you used Make you could have one job called 'formatting' calling 'make check-formatting', one called linting calling ''make check-linting', one called '…

I use to have my Makefile call out and do `docker build ...` and `docker run ...` etc with a volume mount of the source code to manage and maintain tooling versions etc. It works o…

I had no idea 'pwsh' was PowerShell. Personally not interested, maybe if your a Microsoft shop or something then yeah.

I don't touch Windows so I would not know. > The same Python testing code runs on all three platforms. I have no objections to Python being used for testing, I use it myself for th…

> UV scripts are great for this type of workflow So previously when I have seen Python used as a task runner I think they used UV to call it. Although I don't think they had as a c…

Personally, I have never found the Python as a task runners to be less code, more readable or maintainable.

I was doing something similar when moving from Earthly. But I have since moved to Nix to manage the environment. It is a lot better of a developer experience and faster! I would ch…

Yes exactly! I am using Nix/Make and I can prompt Claude to use Nix/Make, it uses these local feedback loops and corrects itself sometimes etc.

Just use a task runner(Make, Just, Taskfile) this is what they were designed for.

I agree with #2, I meant more if you are calling out to something that is not a task runner(Make, Taskfile, Just etc) or a shell script thats a bit of a smell to me. E.g. I have se…
