    No worries, the properly implemented CI/CD pipelines will catch the bad code!

      I had a student came into office hours asking why their program got a bad grade. I looked and it didn’t actually do anything related to the assignment.

      Upon further query, they objected saying that the CI pipeline built it just fine.

      So …yeah… You can write a program that builds and runs, but doesn’t do the required tasks, which makes it wrong. This was not a concept they’d figured out yet.
