Last week was a lot of fighting with Jenkins. It’s not a great CI platform. My feeling is at some point it tried to do too much and now everything is a workaround against architectural decisions. All I want from a CI system is to give me a clean environment that I can execute builds in, potentially with some caching. Jenkins can do that but I’m never quite sure if the environment I’m on is carrying forward any artifacts from previous builds.

Back on the Sharpe wagon. Sharpe’s Fury is a good read, and a bit of a different structure than other books in the series. It’s very clearly a 3 parter, although the tying up of Sharpe’s loose end in part 3 feels a little bit forced.
