Learn not to kick a man when he’s already down?

It’s not that simple, the flakiness is from the internal services we’ve been mandated to use as part of the build process

This, I hate that we spend so much time on build related stuff. The rogue employee has backup from one of the managers and has spent the last 3 months “upgrading” our pipelines to a new platform (his preferred tool). Things were quite stable before this change now we can’t get much done due to fighting the fall out from the changes

We do but many of the build problems are flaky in nature, eg timeouts
