How can you not link the rpgnet review of such a…system. https://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/14/14567.phtml

That’s the scary thing. It looks like this narrowly missed getting into Debian and RH. Downstream downstream that is… everything.

Enterprise tooling (aka a usable API) and it stays out if my way.

Along a similar vain to making a git friend, buy your sysadmins/ops people a box of doughnuts once in a while. They (generally) all code and will have some knowledge of what you are working on.

Depends on how niche. Some stuff unfortunately only comes from truly large user bases. At a guess, the further you go from a tech/liberal core and overlapping hobbies, the longer it will take for the content to emerge.

The people who are here are more willing to post. So less of us overall but also less lurkers.

You being up an interesting point. Let’s expand electricity a little bit.

If I flip a switch the lights come on. I don’t need to understand it but someone does. And because electricity can be deadly of handled wrong, everyone in your proximity handles electricity the exact same way (and this is enforced via law). This means only a few people anywhere need to have the deep knowledge of how it works for the rest of us to get light.

Compare this to computing - sure you click the button and get Facebook but that button could be designed any number of ways. Like electricity the generation who tinkered is past (well passing), but unlike electricity firm standards on how to design your Facebook button have not been written in blood.

I for one am terrified of what the next 10 years of the business IT landscape is going to look like as we need to start absorbing kids who grew up on iPads.

Interesting footnote about p and q. You see them turn up on formal logic proofs (for philosophy)

We’ve got it rigged up for aws sso. Each department can make any number of permissions sets (and link to any number of groups). The config for that is all stored in git (with code owners configured so you can only mess up your own stuff).

So I’m using it with Python. For me it’s able to do some stuff that terrafom never would be able to (Ive got a spot where resources are generated for each file/object on disk).

I for one am recommending pulumi for any of my teams new infrastructure needs.
