I used Jenkins for years at a previous job - for the longest time it was a confusing mess of pipelines coupled with being a fairly outdated version.

Once it was updated to latest and all the bad old manually created jobs were removed it was decent.

I used TeamCity for a while and it was decent - I'm sure defining pipelines in code must be possible but the company I worked at seemed to have made this impossible with some in-house integration with their version control and release management software.

This so much - I remember migrating from one CI system to another a few years ago - I had built all of our pipelines to pull in some secrets and call a .sh file that did all the heavy lifting. The migration had a few pain points but was fairly easy. Meanwhile, the teams who had created their pipelines with the UI and broken them up in to multiple steps were not happy at all.

Instructed not to was my understanding.

99% of the time I've used Postgres it has been one user and one database. The one time I needed to create and configure a separate user with different permissions I remember it being thoroughly confusing and I think the DBA ended up doing it.

I worked at a company where the security team disliked wildcard certificates because it exposed us to the risk of someone, somehow, hosting something malicious on a subdomain.

I might be misinformed but I've been told that for a while now (maybe 20 years or so), new cars have been built to be exceptionally difficult to hot-wire.

A South African friend told me that some brand of four wheel drive could be hot-wired but it involved getting behind one of the front head-lamp bulbs - doable, but a damaging process if you're in a rush.

Same thing in Australia - some gang was busted recently for stealing mid-range four wheel drives, packing them in shipping containers with partially dismantled cars (I guess so that a cursory inspection would just show "car parts" rather than a single nice looking car) and then shipping them around the world (I guess an overseas buyer isn't checking if a car with this VIN has been stolen on the other side of the world).

Depends when it was - Web Archive didn't seem to archive forums for a long time (maybe it does now?).

I've never actually installed Xcode (I need to run specific versions so just run it from ~/Downloads) and simply running it has hijacked these associations.
