Protobuf is also not a proper binary alternative for Yaml. Protobuf needs a schema in the form of its IDL. Cbor and messagepack might be more analogous.
I’m totally on board with process overhaul. Ours was stupid when I started, I said it was stupid, and nothing changed. If someone else comes in and can say it’s stupid more convincingly than me, that’s great.
I honestly wouldn’t see this as a problem. But if you break something it’s up to you to fix it. But we also don’t do CI. We release features in batches after they have been tested and seen to be working.
The amount of times where I had to fix things in live production servers is not a small number. Then again, we are only humans. Backup often and you are golden.
Am not sure I disagree but I don’t agree completely. It’s insane to merge things that go to production without testing. However at the same time I don’t like continuous integration one bit. Open source mantra is great in my opinion. Release early, release often. If code chews some important data, have a test version of it that needs to run some time before it gets pushed to production.
Delaying merge of someone’s code means branches get further and further apart. At the same time code in main branch gets fixed and tested the most. I would merge often but only full features. None of the half-done stuff. Let humans test it a bit before it reaches target audience. That is usually good enough to catch most bugs. Those that do happen to leak into production are easily fixed since you have fast development cycle and deployment pipeline. And backup frequently.
Interesting. I’ve apparently never seen the original. The best version I’ve seen, which I thought was the original, was porn. It just makes the guy’s face in panel 4 that much better.
For a start, there’s no such thing as “YAML” so it’s not funny. If the ‘punchline’ is a random gibberish word that no one understands then it’s not funny. That’s generally the rule.
So I just looked it up, YAML is a programming language, that is “often used for writing configuration files.” Then I checked the group this was posted on, makes a lot more since now.
The UX for knowing in which community something has been posted in is not very good here, I feel a lot of people have problems getting the context if you don’t spell it out in the title.
