You jest but “wait and retry” is such a powerful tool in my DevOps toolbox. First thing I tell junior engineers when they run across anything weird

Honestly, in DevOpS, when you’re running stuff in a GitHub Action/Azure DevOps Pipeline/Jenkins, yeah… sometimes a run will fail for no obvious reason.

And then work the next time (and the next 100+ times after that) when you haven’t changed a damn thing.
