Willing to put down a little bit of my money that this is going to blow up in their faces in the near future.
I'm not super technical at all, but I don't understand why a team that does 1-3 deploys a week is not fully automating with "proper" CI.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
> but your release cadence implies low confidence and quality issues. curious why would it imply that.
Why would a startup CTO choose to deploy a couple of times a week with a Claude script instead of implementing basic CI/CD? He makes it sound like he's running a clusterfuck and he isn't qualified for the job.
The guy automated the toil away using AI. Not that I would feel confident automating away that part in particular, but it does neither speak badly of the code quality, nor his job qualifications.
> So please No one has ever said ”please” to me in release instructions. Not that I miss it, I would find it weird.
By all means use whatever AI agent you have to help set that up.
We have a very small team and release at will. Some days multiple times, sometimes days between. We don't use AI, just have a well tested codebase and basic bash script automation mixed in with GitHub actions. Not bashing AI tools in particular, but just learning some basic decades old tooling and processes gets you pretty much all of the way there.
This is a fine example of a process you really want to be deterministic being automated using something that is definitely not.
We must acknowledge, understand and work around a technology's limitations.
Almost as if the author does not know how to write a bash script, and reverted to using an AI prompt in stead?
Asking because development processes are a hot market themselves think of XP, Scrum, agile etc so wondering if there's something documented about release processes.
Sometimes I feel like I live on another planet. Wouldn't you at least get Claude to write the bash script, confirm it works how you like, then run that? Why get an LLM to guess how to do it each and every time?
At least they are still manually approving, which the title made sound like something they'd move on from.
