This evening's population density map is England. I have an urge to label everything but who knows, I might already have made mistakes. 😅

It's probably about time I introduced myself!

👋 I'm Steph, a Principal Software Engineer in the UK. I help teams improve their development and release practices.

I'm newly diagnosed with ADHD and have a love for vintage style. You will generally see me in large impractical skirts.

I knit, crochet and game (mostly Destiny 2 right now) and I have two adorable puppers Finn the Scottie and Milo the Westie.

Why do so many non ruby projects use ruby / rake as the build tool?

Like, bash is hard, I get it... but it works really well for gluing ci tasks together and it doesn't need to pull down a bunch of external libs.

Builds failing because your project depends on an old ruby version / code / deps isn't better.

Running everything through rake for a ruby project make sense, sure! Otherwise why are you wrapping a totally JS codebase's npm commands in a rakefile?

Just because bash can be intimidating doesn't mean that using ruby is the solution.
