I am not having fun with GitHub Actions right now! Why does everything have to be so hard?

I like being able to run self-hosted runners, that is a very cool part of GitHub Actions/Workflow.

I appreciate all the other advice about limit my yamls to: 1) checkout, 2) call a script to do the entire task. I am already half-way there, just need to knuckle-down and do the work.

I was dismayed that parallel tasks aren't really a thing in the yaml, I wanted to fanout a bunch of parallel tasks and I found I couldn't do it. Now that I'm going to consolidate my build process into a single script I own, I can do the fanout myself.
