We’ve used automatic waterers at home, for our pets, for a while. They refill themselves, which is sweet.
They also leak. Constantly. The seals wear out. The fittings are garbage. I’ve bought replacement parts, bowls, adapters. Today, after another new bowl leaked straight out of the box, I gave up.
I bought one of those upside-down jug waterers. Put it by the hose. I’ll just fill it every few days.
Automation’s great until it becomes your newest maintenance burden.
Same with teams. Permissions. Infrastructure. CI. If your “easy” system isn’t reliable, it’s just waiting to leak.
