I am the author and was puzzling over how to respond to this, but yeah, this is basically it. I still have very little tolerance for a certain level of incompetence (don't work at a hospital if you're going to crash prod repeatedly, sorry, this isn't adult day care), but most of my readers are better software engineers than me, and every day I have to humble myself and ask one of them how to do something stupidly simple, like "Is there a better way to develop pipelines than watching GitHub Actions fail, tweak the code, repeat?"
