Same story here: I implemented CICD or ansible playbook for my pet projects but then I found myself maintaining the CICD and infrastructure instead of working on the projects. It was interesting to set up, but once done it becomes boring, so I reverted to just some bash scripts that I run locally, which is overall faster.

I always read blogs of this type and immediately try and find what the author has actually built. Usually it’s either absolutely nothing or a simple blog generator. Nothing wrong with that, but if you want to build stuff you eventually need to stop config twiddling and do it. Hope it works out for her.

Weirdly I find Silverblue to be much more relaxing _because_ I can't fuck up my laptop one night while trying to get something to "just work". I _have_ to spin up a container or a VM, but then I can just delete it again. Before Silverblue I would always eventually land up in a place where I was scared to upgrade because of some weird thing I did a few months back which I only half-remember, leading ultimately to a rebuild.

With that said, I applaud the goal here. If it's not fun then you'd better be making a lot of money - and even then, it should be at least sort-of fun!

Wow I like some order but this guy need some help!
