>do the minimum with these CI integrations to get my shell script to run This. 100%. Where I'm working is migrating from Bamboo to Jenkins. For my team the new process is just calling "./build-test $params" while others are stuck re-implementing various stages, tasks and blah blah blah. Also an added bonus to this is having the full history of changes to the CI/CD process tracked in git.

I call mine make.sh. Now get off my lawn!

"that's probably not the end goal anymore, just milking the current paying clients and maintaining the status quo." Yep, that's private equity. I won't forget it again. If it makes less and less profit every year even that's probably fine, eventually they'll shut it down, as long as they made back a multiple of what they paid by that point, then it was a good investment. It's sad to me just as an engineer, that travi…

I've used it in the past, but when they finally killed off the 1.0 builders (?) my company went to an "internally" hosted Jenkins[1] server and I haven't played with any of the 2.0 stuff. Have you? How do you find working with it? [1] I did also ask about selfhosted stuff, but I'm not willing to host Jenkins for myself. I've heard nothing but complaints about managing a Jenkins install. It's been fine as a user (if a…

Not the person you're asking, but we use CircleCI, and it's fine. The YAML config language is okay, it gets the job done and hasn't been horrible to maintain or modify. Though we only have a few steps in each. My current gripe is that there doesn't seem to be any way to declare that one pipeline depends on another, though I may just be missing something in the docs.

This "one guy," if you will, is responsible for a majority of the ansible galaxy modules that are out there. Far from a bad actor just utilizing CPU time for pet projects, Jeff's code is probably in use in a large majority of companies that use Ansible, mine included.
