Think of it as the scripts that run on CI/CD actions running unit tests. If a unit test fails, the test artifacts are uploaded to an artifact repository, and then, get this - the test runner instance is destroyed! But we don't think of that as unusual or nefarious.


No one dies when your unit test fails. Different stakes, different practices, what are all the Tesla apologists smoking here?


I don't think you can equate CI/CD unit tests and killing humans with 2 tons of metal.


And yet, that's what you get when your software org comes from that kind of devops culture. And here we are


That's because typically the test runner hasn't just crashed into another test runner at full highway speed


That's a particularly unhelpful analogy. Car telemetry is linked to real world physical objects and real human suffering, whereas CI/CD actions may be linked to the happiness of a project manager etc.
