What's something you've gotten into your CICD pipeline recently that you like?
I recently automated a little bot for our GitHub CICD. It runs a few tests that we care about, but don't want to block deployment, and posts them on the PR. It uses gh pr comment --edit-last so it isn't spammint the channel. It's been pretty helpful in automating some of the more annoying parts of code review.
At work I use Jenkins, and I am very frustrated with it. I've worked with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Azure Pipelines, and none were truly enjoyable to work with. They're acceptable.
The last change I made on our project was to send a build failure and build fix notification email on branches to the last committer. (After having disabled branch build failure notification emails because Jenkins (or its plugins) were not able to send to only the branch developer/new change pusher/author a while ago.)
The best thing we did was introducing commit message conventions and convco to verify them, and to generate changelogs automatically.
