I work for a very large company which uses Jenkins for CI/CD and it’s an absolute nightmare. Granted, some of these issues may be related to how my company has it setup. I’m not in DevOps so I wouldn’t know. But these are my complaints:
Can have incredibly long queue times in some cases. It takes forever to spin up additional build agents to meet demand. In one case we actually had to abort a deploy because Jenkins wasn’t spinning up more build agents, and our queue times were going to put us outside of our 3 HOUR maintenance window.
Non-standard format for pipeline configuration files. It could just be JSON or YAML, but noooo, I have to learn something completely different that won’t transfer to other products.
Dated and overly complicated UI with multiple UX issues. I can view the logs in a modal from the build page, but I can’t copy from them? Fuck off Jenkins.
I’m actively pushing my team to transition to GitHub actions, because it’s just better in every single way.

I just threaten to make them into a stew every time they claw my furniture. It doesn’t stop them, but it makes me feel better about it 😂
It’s diminishing returns. Reddit benefits more from the traffic in this scenario than the Fediverse ever could in terms of user gain from this kind of advertisement.
I totally get your perspective too. I just feel like at this point we’re dealing with diminishing returns. Anybody who really cares about finding an alternative has already migrated. I feel like giving Reddit ANY traffic at this point benefits them more than it hurts them.
… which is exactly why we should give it zero attention or traffic. They’re using this as a pathetic attempt to bolster their traffic ahead of the IPO so they can point to this and say “HEY LOOK HOW AMAZING OUR TRAFFIC IS!!! Think of the potential ad revenue!”
So you had at least enough desire to read anti-Reddit news which lead you to the alternative? That just proves my point…
Anybody who gives the slightest fuck about finding an alternative is already aware of kbin/Lemmy. By trying to “advertise”, you’re only opening up the platform to brigading. Anybody who actually cares has already made the switch.
Oh, and on top of that, you’re giving Reddit additional traffic, which is exactly what they want right now. Just leave it alone!!
Ok deal, but that means we need to change the equality operator to 👉👈
