A bit meta - but, what is faun.dev? I visited their site - it looks like a very very slow (possibly because of the current outage?), ad-funded Reddit / HN clone?
But, in it's sidebar of "Trending technologies", it lists "Ansible" and "Jenkins" .. which while are both great, I doubt are trending currently.
The design immediately weirded me out, felt strange. Where are they sourcing this information? Is this an AI summary of the BBC live news feed linked in "Further Reading"?
> "Ansible" and "Jenkins" .. which while are both great
I would strongly argue that there is nothing great about Jenkins. It's an unholy mess of mouldy spaghetti that can sometimes be used to do achieve a goal, but is generally terrible at everything. Shit to use, shit to maintain, shit to secure. It was the best solution because of a lack of competition 20 years ago, but hasn't been relevant or anywhere near the top 50 since any competition appeared.
The fact that to this very day, nearing the end of 2025, they still don't support JWT identities for runs is embarrassing. Same goes for VMware vSphere.
I am curious. I do generally agree with everyone who dislikes Jenkins, as I personally do not like working with it either. However, I don‘t really see a whole lot of competition in the open source CI space, am I missing something major here?

It's a "vibe-engineered" app. I find it both sad and hilarious just how quickly one can find slop with these.

Also, this is the exact CSS style that Claude uses whenever I have it program web elements (typically bookmarklet UIs).
OP is the creator of faun.dev. Seems to just be yet another tech news site.
OP who has more submissions than comments. And all the submissions are for either this faun.dev or thechief.io
I'd guess self-promoted slop, which is becoming the norm here.

This website is just AI slop, the real reporting is in the BBC page linked at the end.
Photos and numbers seem to be stolen straight from it.

Can we not promote this AI-generated "article" on that banners-ridden site?
