I 100% agree. It’s not so much the yaml as it is the templating. I originally wanted to say “since the invention of yaml/jinja” in the parent comment because that’s what I’ve gotten most of my gray hairs from (saltstack templating). Go templates are not jinja but fundamentally the same thing - they have no syntax awareness and effectively are just string formatters.

I took out the part about templating because I thought it made my comment too wordy, but ended up oversimplifying.
