Ask HN: Was hired to improve company's devops, founder won't listen to my ideas

It doesn't sound like a great situation to be in. It sounds like the founder has strong opinions. I suspect he subscribes to Trunk Based Development[1] and Continuous Delivery[2]. He also likely wants to follow the practises that "leading organisations" follow in "Accelerate: State of DevOps Report"[3]. You might find it beneficial to research those subjects prior to discussions with him.

Just some friendly advice. When you're referencing stuff elsewhere on the web do it like this:

[1] https://trunkbaseddevelopment.com/

[2] https://continuousdelivery.com/

[3] https://cloudplatformonline.com/2018-state-of-devops.html

This means the links are clickable. Using the code indentation thing you did there causes all sorts of grief for mobile device users.

Thanks! Was faffing with it... the "help" isn't very helpful on how it formats. Sadly can't edit now. :/

Can't believe this comment is so low.

I would guess this is exactly what is happening, an it sounds like OP is trying to push git flow or similar. I would push back against that as well. Trunk based development beats git flow every time.
