I had to integrate Azure Pipelines and wanted to shoot myself in the face. The idea that you are simply configuring a pipeline yaml is just one big lie; it's code, in the world's shittiest programming language using YML syntax - code that you have no local runtime for, so you have to submit to the cloud like a set of punch cards to see that 10 minutes later it didn't work and to try again. Pipelines are code, pure and simple. The sooner we stop pretending it isn't, the better off we'll be.

Yeah, agreed. Feels like programming a PHP/ASP website directly on the server through FTP, like we did in the 90's
