   Maybe I'm alone in this, but as someone who is in tech, I don't know what CI is, and I don't think it's unreasonable to expect it to have an expansion within the article the first time you use it...

   AI is in the cultural zeitgeist, but you gotta expand most other things at least once.

      So if you don't know what CI is, what does "I am someone in tech", mean? Marques Brownlee probably doesn't know CI is, but he's also in tech. Because if you by mean "I am in tech" that "I am a software engineer", and you don't know what CI is, then boy; I'd be worried for you.

         CI is really only significant on the programming side of things. Networking, systems administration, hardware, etc often don’t have that workflow.

            I see you have not discovered infrastructure-as-code (IaC). We have CI for our infra.

               I’m familiar, the issue is IaC only works on a subset of system administration jobs.

               Maintaining systems in a tunnel boring machine is a very different than an internet startup.
