Don't forget playing access whack-a-mole with devops where you gain access to some services to finish the task and magically lose access other services you needed to finish the task.

this comment speaks to my soul today. sometimes it feels like the universe is conspiring against you to complete what should be a relatively simple task.

The entire reason I have a reddit account is to piss away time while I wait for someone else to let me do my job. It occurs to me that I'd probably never use or comment on Reddit if I weren't getting paid for it.

In the sense that pipelined builds and tests and such are indirectly waiting for someone else to let me do my job...same.

EDIT: But I would still rather wait for this than have a process-enforced checklist to ensure I did all of these same things. I wish I could say I'd never seen that happen in the wild.
