That sounds like a problem that can be solved with a CI/CD system and Docker Compose. Perhaps there is more going on here institutionally that stops this problem from being solved.

It sounds like something really frustrating is going on though, and I hope it works out.




Hey I'd like to expand on this a little bit. I hope I'm not presuming too much but as someone who recently had to leave their job due to burnout, I feel like I'm seeing signs of burnout here, and wanted to bring them to your attention.

You sound really frustrated because you're being asked to do things that you feel aren't or shouldn't be part of your job, and perhaps it's taking time from your other responsibilities and creating a larger workload for you. It seems like maybe you've come to resent your coworkers and their individual preferences for the complexity it creates and the stress it causes you. It seems like what you want to do is erase that complexity, take away their agency, and centralize on a solution that works well for you.

There's a couple of things to consider. For one, what you're asking is for your coworkers to have a degraded work experience so that your work experience can be better, which is totally understandable but not reasonable.

Another one is that this is a pretty well understood problem with known solutions - why is it you can't get them implemented? Is there something going on in the politics or culture of your workplace that is stopping you? Is there some kind of elephant in the room, and would things get better if you called it out?

The last one is, are you getting burned out? Were you always this frustrated? Should you take some time off? Should you start looking for other jobs?

I can really feel the stress and frustration in your tone, and that sucks. I hope things get better for you.
