Whilst discussing de-jargoning Drupal and Drupalisms<\/a> with Emma Horrell and Luke McCormick, I started thinking about pieces of jargon I come across regularly.<\/p>\n\n

Common ones are CI and CD.<\/p>\n\n

CI (or continuous integration) is not about whether you have a CI pipeline and use a tool like Jenkins, GitHub Actions or GitLab CI (despite how some of these tools are named).<\/p>\n\n

Continuous integration is how often code is integrated together.<\/p>\n\n

If it's been more than a day since you last merged your code into your mainline branch, you're not doing continuous integration.<\/p>\n\n

The less often you merge code, the more likely it is there will be conflicts or incompatibilities with other code that's been worked on - whether it's someone else's code, or code that you're writing in a different branch for a different task.<\/p>\n\n

CD stands for is continuous deployment or continuous delivery.<\/p>\n\n

When is the last time you deployed changes to production?<\/p>\n\n

If it's been more than a day, you're not doing continuous deployment.<\/p>\n\n

I've worked on teams and projects when it's been months between production releases.<\/p>\n\n

I much prefer releasing small, iterative and continuous improvements to production instead of doing large and risky deployments.<\/p>\n\n

Developers get their changes released sooner, end users get fixes and new features sooner, and it's easier to identify and resolve issues when releases are smaller and more frequent.<\/p>\n\n

How about you?<\/p>\n\n

Are you doing CI or CD?<\/p>\n\n

What other Drupal or techy jargon terms do you see regularly?<\/p>\n\n ", "format": "full_html", "processed": "\n
