Jsonnet is pretty nice but the library support isn't quite as good. There are some nice libraries for yaml that do round trip processing for example so you can modify a yaml programmatically and keep comments. Yaml certainly has some warts (and a few things that are just frankly moronic) but it deserves some credit for hitting the sweet spot in a bunch of ways.

I wonder if it will ever be practical or economical to have humans and machines driving together on the roads we have now though. Maybe we'll skip that step and go to robot-only roads with more stuff built into the actual roads.

On Musk, he doesn't need PR so much as to keep his mouth shut for a while and try and deliver on some of his BS instead of spouting more.

The goal isn't to use AI, though, it's to be productive. Maybe for you AI + writing support tools to improve your workflow makes you more productive and that's great! For me, for the kind of work I'm currently doing, I'm more productive in other ways.

Why dumb down your work worse because the machine can't understand it?

> From the perspective of the traditional server business, such a developer is unfortunately often seen as rather helpless—someone who needs assistance with everything, can’t run their own database, and has no idea what a nameserver is.

Developers who have no idea about how things work (like nameservers and databases) are pretty helpless generally, regardless of whether they call themselves cloud-native developers or not.

That isn't always true, there's plenty of times where companies push features that users don't want. No Chrome users have been clamouring for more ads and more invasive tracking, for example.

I've used graylog the most so that's what it looks like to me :P. I like how you can do a bunch of extraction stuff right there in the query interface though, that's awesome. It seems like a very thoughtful UI.

I'm not sure why you wouldn't set up your own mirror regardless, it costs peanuts and it's much faster

That picture at the beginning is a high quality troll, I spent ages looking at it before I read the caption: "The team set up traps in vegetation areas like this one to capture Mount Lyell shrews."

It's a bit more effort but it just can't be beat for documentation.

The DSL (and associated IDE support) is about the only thing I like about puppet
