When I got started it was much more difficult as you had to do a lot of manual work to get things started, and you really had to believe the promises that CUE offered (which I did...), but nowadays they've made so many steps in the right direction that getting something going is far quicker!
Here are a few links to whet your appetite:
- https://cue.dev/docs/getting-started-with-github-actions-cue...
- https://cue.dev/docs/drying-up-github-actions-workflows/
- https://cue.dev/docs/spotting-errors-earlier-github-actions-...
Definitely read through the CUE documentation (https://cuelang.org/docs/), watch their YouTube videos (https://www.youtube.com/@cuelang/videos), and join the community Slack channel (https://cuelang.org/community/). I've gotten a lot of help in the Slack from both enthusiastic community members and from the developers themselves whenever I've gotten stuck.
