Run Your CI in Code, Not YAML
summary
Argues that CI pipelines as code replaces brittle YAML by writing pipeline logic in real languages, demos a Go-based pipeline using Dagger, Hugo frontend, multi-arch Docker images pushed to DockerHub, deployments to fly.io and Netlify, and reusable modules (Go and Python interop). Shows local exact-replay of CI so developers can run locally same as CI instead of waiting long remote jobs, replaces secret env vars with Infisical, and eliminates the usual push and pray workflow that produces thousands of lines of YAML.
