Everything is a people problem at the end of the day.

This is a thought-terminating cliché.

The existence of right tools for the job implies the existence of wrong tools for the job. The engineer in GP's story used the wrong tool for the job. That is a people problem. Had he used the right tool for the job, the problem would not have existed. GP wrote their CI stuff in shell to solve a tech problem, not a people problem.
