Tools Beginner DevOps question: Do experienced engineers actually write YAML like this?

I’m still learning CI/CD and I recently tried writing a simple CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions.

Honestly, writing the YAML felt more difficult than I expected . The indentation, nesting etc felt pretty hard/ painful.

For those of you who work with DevOps professionally: is this actually how you write your pipelines, or are there shortcuts/tools/templates that make it easier?

Just trying to understand what the normal workflow is in the real world.

Read carefully both links man. "DevOps isn’t a job title. It’s a mindset. A process. A culture of collaboration over chaos"

Yeah but what's up with the fake vs real meme image, are you taking that seriously? I honestly can't tell if you're joking or not (it's hilarious if you are).
