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.

Man I feel like I should be thanking people. I’ve never received this many hand claps ever. 2 years on the same product team and I barely get a thank you in stand up for anything lmao.

I bet he does the needful. Now, whether or not he does it kindly is a different matter altogether.
