// , Awww, hello there little guy. Cute hat! My, how you've grown over the years. Cookies? Well, grandma's got a whole jar of cookies for you. Not only are they vegan, they're even gluten free!

Eat up. Don't make that face, now, little man, this was your idea.

Anyway you want to learn about CI/CD?

Well, let me ask you this, "Do you like bacon?"

After little piggies have been pumped full of enough hormones to make them big and fat and gotten chopped into bacon pieces at the farm, what has to happen next?

That's right, somebody has got to deliver them to the grocery store! (And if there's an ocean, the bacon's gotta be shipped on a ship.)

Now, in this way, bacon is like code. Somebody's gotta ship it.

And do you know who ships the code?

The Shippit Squirrel!

Here he is.

Behold The Shippit Squirrel

Cute little feller, huh?

Yes, he does all the deliveries. And his job is CI/CD.

Of course you can work with him. No, you don't have to be a squirrel, or even a chipmunk!

Now Junior, why haven't you finished your cookies????
