Tools != Practices

You can practice CI without CI tooling. (We use tools to make things easier.)

Just because you use CI tooling doesn't mean you practice CI.

"A CI tool is responsible for building the application" does not mean that CI is "building the application."

@qcoding I assume you know about James Shore and his “CI on a dollar a day” concept? AKA “CI using a bell and a rubber chicken”?

Been there, done that*. It works. The ultimate demonstration of ‘it’s not the tools’

• except for the rubber chicken. We don’t seem to have them in the UK, so we used a stuffed dinosaur instead. Seems to work OK 👍

@thirstybear Note that he didn't invent this — he's describing how CI was practiced back in the day. But I don't think I've seen this writeup… I'm bookmarking this, thank you!
