10/05/2019, 1:47 PMspending the time we’re spending on formatting on helping to clean up CI would be excellentWhile I agree 100% that fixing CI is a priority because the situation is a big workflow painpoint to contributing to pants at the moment, I don’t think it’s really opposed to the goal of removing an orthogonal workflow painpoint around manual formatting of code. Personally, being new to pants, I felt like the formatting thing was an area where I could easily contribute because it doesn’t require much contextual knowledge unlike CI stabilization, and I felt like it would be a good use of my time because it’s something where a limited time investment can yield a paper cut fix for everyone from that point on. Sounded like an appropriate hackweek goal. Whichever fire we’re putting out, there will always be more fires to put out somewhere else, so I feel like delaying merging a change that is an improvement because some other improvements are needed too doesn’t necessarily make a ton of sense to me. Absolutely amped for also making CI less flakey, though. That is an extremely worthy goal and will have a big positive impact on contributions 😄

10/06/2019, 10:05 PMfinding a good low friction time to land it doesn’t seem like much to ask.Totally agree with this, btw. I had misunderstood your initial comment as a “let’s wait for an unspecified amount of time until all CI flakyness issues are resolved”, which prompted my response. We’re all on the same page in the end 😉
