  • Thank you, that’s an excellent read! This reminds me of the “expected value of perfect information” - sometimes it is worthwhile to answer a question, and sometimes it isn’t. Every once in a while I find myself in an engineering call discussing a minor problem, and I run the numbers to see if the change we are discussing is even worth talking about. One time the combined salaries of the people on the call had already outpaced the cost savings of the change over the next 10 years. We quickly stopped that discussion lol









  • Vscode already supports linting yaml against a schema file. Once you start configuring your code with configuration-as-code, you’re just writing more code.

    If I need to “generate” some insane config with miles of boilerplate, I would use js to build my json, which can be ported to just about anything. This would replace js in that process.

    I’m not sold on the need for this.

    Even with something like k8s, I’d reach for pulumi before I put another layer on top of yaml.









  • My friend, you have no idea how much time I have spent searching for something like this on google. This is incredibly useful. I have saved this to my camera roll.

    Naturally searching anything with “chicken” and “cook” present returns hundreds of recipe websites or food safety “articles” that all copy and paste “the fda says 165” with no further thought.

    I knew a chart like this must exist, but had given up the search. Sincerely, thank you.
