For example: I provided instructions for the installation and configuration of the nginx-gateway-fabric helm chart and it didn’t understand that flux (CI) needed a special oci repo type. I provided an example from the docs and it just worked it out on its own. It did the entire “side by side” configuration to prevent conflicts with nginx-ingress by itself.

As long you know what you’re doing, it’s like having a few junior engineers at your disposal that just need some oversight and code review here an there.

Could I have done all this by myself? Sure. But it would’ve taken longer to write down all the YAML by hand, grasp all dependencies in my repos and hunt down the right Github Actions snippets by myself. Instead, I read about a quarter of a (albeit short) book while enjoying coffee in the sun.
