@aprilmintacpineda2713 I know that when there is something "new" people just want a set of rules and steps, a recipe with 5 steps on how to do it. Many things are more abstract and requires experience doing the thing, take the time to form a deeper understanding and once "it clicks" it's obvious and you no longer need the recipe and you just do. There is no "do these steps and you're CI", that would be nothing but cargo culting. We actually have to do the hard work and change how we work, think, behave, incentivise, collaborate, communicate and understand how work actually works.
The amount of programmers in the world doubles every 5 years or so. About 10-12 years ago everyone went nuts with FB/PR/GitFlow and thus we can approximate that 75% of all programmers have never practiced or seen real Continuous Integration. From that we can also say that at any point in time 50% of all programmers has less than 5 years of experience. Then the practices that this industry was build on are forgotten and completely alien to all the new people, because most people do not learn, they are being taught, then they iterate that teaching to the next generation as the "one true way" and put in a lot of effort and rules, process, arguments and "personal credit" into that particular way. Then the people that's not doing what "you" have been taught are being told they must be "inexperienced unprofessional developers that has never done any real work". Context is king, and most people convince themselves that the thing they spent time "perfecting doing" is the right thing for all contexts. This of course goes both ways so we all need to be aware of our biases. The key is being able to adapt based on context, develop a deeper understanding of the system and not get stuck in doing what is convenient and be afraid of change.
