Oh my GOD. #GitHub #GitHubActions inputs/outputs are /stringly typed/ even when declared as bools?! What the fuck is this horseshit?

That’s about an hour I'm never getting back.

With apologies for being so negative, let's review:

• GHA internals: spaghetti mess of bubblegum (PowerShell), shoestrings (C#), and baling wire (MSSQL)
• GHA externals: stringly typed variables, awkward/weak reusability, "cat text into a file to set env vars”, etc

So glad it's the new industry standard!
