It sounds like the politician hopes the tests are "built" in few weeks but the producer has not them yet and I am not sure they will have in "a few weeks" unless he means months
I had the exact same experience last year and it fucked me up good with anxiety (which I've never experienced before) and I couldn't eat properly for weeks causing me to lose a stone in weight.
I had the exact same preconceived notions you did with the 1 hour block a day mon-friday. Seemed like it would be a breeze at first and easy money. The problem with this is it just turned into feeling guilty when I wasn't working on it, even outside of the allotted hour. I think I felt like this because there was no clear seperation of environment as I was be doing the work at home and the result was I felt like I was just working all the time.
I did learn a valuable lesson though and that is that my free time is a lot more valuable than I realise.
I will never again consider doing side gigs for anyone other than myself.
Besides, if you manage to find their issue you'd see carnage this decision caused for some of the customers. Even those with own runners found them swamped in jobs doomed to fail , blocking actually inportant pipelines.
Autodevops as a product feature targets very niche audience of teams running gitlab, but without dedicated DevOps team , it is by definition a very opinionated view on CI/CD and I can not see how it was acceptable to suddenly enable it on all existing projects on whole gitlab.com overnight.
I agree with you, we don't currently cover all the use cases we'd like to, but we're working to expand the feature set and technologies we cover.
If you had a particular use case that was not well covered, I'd love to learn more about it so we can evaluate related improvements. You can reach me at daniel at gitlab dot com. Thanks.
I'm assuming it's Plusnet and if so this appears to be normal. See here: https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/IP-TCP-4567/td-p/153...
