I'm another ex-massachusettser and also love Somerville and would have shared a brat with you. Sounds like you made the best of it!

I've evaluated crossplane and one of the biggest drawbacks is not being able to properly diff your expected changes with your actual state. Basically there is no way to run a plan of your change. It's essentially a diff in a github pr, then you merge, sync with argocd, and hope your crossplane apply won't fail.

I prefer the terraform method where you are declarative, run plan and then apply. Ive worked with env0, terrafo cloud, spacelift, and atlantis. Ive worked with crossplane and argocd. So far my favorite has been to use terraform with a cicd solution.

Crossplane is too bleeding edge and will need some time for maturity. I do see crossplane or something similar once the edges have been fully polished.

Agreed. It should at least log you out of all sessions without you having to do it yourself. This is good to know if I ever want to rotate my encryption key. Knowing this, I may even log out of all sessions even if I was rotating my master key.

I never thought about how the ampersand looks like a duck.

These are great comments. The code is open source. I'm sure the owner would love a pull request that would address these concerns.

Cng sounds cool. "Code Not Guns" is probably inspired by "Food Not Bombs" which coincidentally I heard of only fairly recently.

You can also checkout all the "Code For America" organizations for local nonprofit government coding projects. I don't know if it will fit your anarchist philosophy but it would certainly help to have more volunteers to help connect citizens to their local US governments.

If i have to deal with ancient osx gnu gplv2 utilities, i think I'd go bananas. You have to modify the default settings at some point or your productivity will surely wane in comparison to others. I see your point with some defaults but the purest approach doesn't seem practical either.

Agreed. If the code is in GitHub, it's incredibly easy to create a simple github actions workflow that could run the app.
