CI is a force multiplier. Setting up CI tests now will save you
exponentially in the future. It is one of the best investments you can
make with your time.

Here's some additional projects that make heavy use of CI to detect
problems before users experience them. Crypto++, LDNS and Unbound even
perform Android and iOS cross-compiles to ensure they work for users,
too.

I'm happy to help. This is the kind of monkey work a senior engineer
should offload.

What do you want, and what do you need?
