Did anybody else notice that the Product Manager made a quick appearance and then dissapeared again forever? It must be a bit embarassing given that now the new Pipeline "designer" is available in Beta, and it has already corrupted 3 of my existing Pipelines PERMANENTLY. I'm sure one of the development team members could send my source YAML over to re-create, but I am wary enough that I exported the YAML on my own before even touching their new tool. So thankfully I had a backup for all 3 corruptions.
We are expected to waste our time (and the time of our employers) being the guinea pigs on this beta tool. It offers some much needed improvements, thankfully, but is still a bit of a mess once you really dig in. I hate to say that for now it's still better to use the clunky "old" original Pipeline builder.
