I know this is a meme, but just in case someone doesn't actually know. CI saves literally thousands upon thousands of dev hours a year, even for small teams.

Probably also causes lots of hours of maintenance and troubleshooting...but it's a net gain in the end.

I can't even imagine not having a ci pipeline anymore. Having more than a single production architecture target complete with test sets, Security audits, linters, multiple languages, multiple hour builds per platform... hundreds to thousands of developers... It's just not possible to even try to make software at scale without it.

If you fuck up the setup and deploy to multiple environments at once with each one set to rebuild an image/program things can get long. You really have to fuck it though.
