Building cloud-native apps on Azure. I can't stop self-improving.

I used to be a .NET developer. Nowaways, I am a DevOps solutions architect with a focus on Azure and Kubernetes. I also love productivity topics, especially when it comes to doing more with less of my time. I'm also a daddy, so time is a limited resource for me.

Like [lavoizer](https://hashnode.com/@lavoizer) mentioned, the example does not work.

Fixed it for you:

```
variables:
  someName: someValue

stages:
- stage: stage_deploy
  displayName: Production
  jobs:
  - job: job_deploy_infrastructure
    displayName: Deploy Some Infrastructure
    steps:
    - bash: |
        SOMEVALUE="bleh"
        echo "##vso[task.setvariable variable=someName;isOutput=true;]$SOMEVALUE"
        echo "variable value is $(someName)"
      name: setVariable
  - job: job_deploy_code
    displayName: Deploy Some Code
    dependsOn: ['job_deploy_infrastructure']
    variables:
      someName: $[ dependencies.job_deploy_infrastructure.outputs['setVariable.someName'] ]
    steps:
    - bash: |
        echo "the variable value is $(someName)"
```
