Yeah I'm just not wasting my life (or professional time) learning Groovy, Maven, DotNET project files, DotNET 4.8, Gradle, Azure DevOps, Grafana, Prometheus, Docker, Docker compose, Kubernetes, Jenkins etc et all.

I need those things once at project setup. I copy-paste and change a bit.

Why copy-paste? It's a proven strategy with a high success rate despite little effort behind it.

I also don't want to learn templating for every little DSL I need to write one file per project with.

But if you love doing it "the right way", you're welcome to do that work for me.

Any long-lived project's build will have to be updated/improved at various times throughout its lifetime so there needs to be somebody around who truly understands the build.
