  1. CI/CD is crucial for software projects, impacting features deployment, issue resolution speed, team iteration, and developer experience. GitLab CI/CD and GitHub Actions are popular choices for managing these workflows.
  2. GitLab offers robust code reuse options through hidden jobs, anchors, references, and includes, allowing for easy structuring and maintenance of CI pipelines across repositories.
  3. When it comes to pipeline debugging, GitLab provides a superior toolset with a Pipeline Editor for linting, validating, and selecting pipeline versions, while GitHub Actions lacks built-in editing capabilities.

  1. Setting up mesh WiFi with the ASUS RT-BE96U may not be fun and might require advanced technical knowledge.
  2. Having multiple mesh nodes can create interference and devices may prefer to connect to the first node.
  3. Using one robust router for WiFi coverage could be sufficient and more stable than multiple nodes, especially if it has good signal strength.
