Spent almost 3 days trying to figure out what's going on with a Kubernetes deployment (via Helm) that just will not work. So far I have narrowed it down to a batch job taking upwards of 10 minutes to start, 3 seconds to run, and then a further 10 minutes to realise that it ran, on a test cluster which is doing pretty much naff all. And Helm times out after 5 minutes by default (somewhat reasonably), and rolls it back. I'm in the Bad Place.

I was just talking to colleagues this morning about how hosted build servers* are a failure, because they’re almost always harder to configure than a local test environment, require 97 hops to make and verify any changes, and on top of all of that, they’re SLOWER than my 2015 MacBook. Yet another example of how SaaS is a total joke. * also known as β€œCI”, but confusingly, they have nothing to do with continuous integration https://honeycomb.engineer/@olivvybee/114109009177124421
