> And I mean sure, everything is kinda janky on Jenkins, but everything falls into an expectable corridor of jank you get used to.

This is kinda where I am. No one really feels like they are selling a premium "just works" product. Its all jank. So why it the jank I chose at the price I chose?

At the moment I'm self hosting gitlab runners. Its jank. But it's free.

A while ago I set out to find a replacement for Jenkins. On prem with a comparable feature set. What I found out is that Jenkins is the worst apart from all the others.
