I get what you mean, but you would expect people to import game theory yet importing anything yourself just confuses the whole thing?

Politics aren’t manipulated and how things work are organic. So we should just be happy since look at this math, cause behavior and statistics aren’t game-able.

CLI wizard to build infra

Uses a game loop to iterate over parameter collection.

I type something like “create kubernetes cluster” it checks for cloud creds or asks, and proceeds to gather the cloud providers params.

F5 saves state to JSON :)

It’s opinionated in that it only ever spins up a new account under an org. Blue/green accounts :)

Infrastructure people are insane to babysit all that (I used to be one).

It’s old man sysadmin rearing his ugly head again.

Depends on your definition of work.

Culturally it tends to lean in a direction I’d call “make some richer person happy for a portion of nation-state scrip.”

If you take a more scientific, physical, definition, raising kids is work. Learning anything is work.

I thought it was accepted by the medical community every major ailment occurred at much higher rates “back in the day”. That it’s a case of having lacked sophisticated detection methods the numbers are so low.

Notion is a clever front end that does not need to be backed by a cloud service.

IT departments should be able to setup whichever backed storage they want; s3 buckets to postgres.

I’m so done with propping up every wannabe unicorn. This app will never be a thing at my company.

Two or three devs could make a living off this UX as a standalone client. This isn’t a Google scale engineering need.
