Introducing Auto Breakfast from GitLab (sort of)

GitLab's culture of appreciation led to a playful challenge where a team member sought to automate breakfast using GitLab CI/CD and an Anova Sous Vide device. Inspired by a humorous comment during a Slack conversation, the author decided to automate the process of making sous-vide egg bites, a favorite breakfast item, by integrating the cooking process into GitLab's CI/CD pipeline. Leveraging a Raspberry Pi and PyCirculate, a project that handles Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connections with the Anova device, the author managed to set up a pipeline that, with a single button click, executed the breakfast preparation. Though it required initial effort and technical setup, this experiment demonstrated the versatility of CI/CD beyond software deployment, resulting in a repeatable and efficient way to prepare a gourmet breakfast, albeit with some kitchen mess and a bemused spouse.
