Episode Synopsis

Jenkins walked down a dark lonely roadConfusion heavy, a mind that never slowed.With containers in hand, he staggered and swayedBut through the haze, he tried oh how he prayed.Oh Jenkins where did you go wrong?Lost in the cloud, but you kept moving along.Intoxicated dreams you did your best.But Github actions had a plan, laid your soul to rest.You stumbled through shadows, no place to be.Slack chat full of questions, trying to break free.The pipelines spun around him, a twisted carousel.But Jenkins just laughed at the tolling of the bell.Oh Jenkins where did you go wrong?Lost in the cloud, but you kept moving along.Intoxicated dreams you did your best.But Github actions had a plan, laid your soul to rest.He whispered to the stars, just show me the way.But the moon only sighed, as it started to fade.In the end he was found still a smile on his face.And the same little mustache, bowtie, and cliches. Oh Jenkins where did you go wrong?Running Bash inside Groovy inside Java all along.Convoluted schemes you did your best.But devops had a plan, laid your soul to rest.Now the reflogs remember the steps that he took.A tale of a man in the corners of a book.Jenkins you wandered but you found your wayTo your final deployment at the end of the day
