If you're developing a FOSS project, be aware of cryptobros trying to PR a tea.yml into it. (connortumbleson.com)

Yet another "brilliant" scheme from a cryptobro. Naturally this caused a gold-rush for scammers who outsourced random people via the gig economy to open PRs for this yml file (example)

This is just my personal opinion, bit I think Ansible is a complete mess to deal with, and yaml is the reason for it. If there was a way to configure ansible not with config files, but with a proper scripting language, it would have ridden me of so many hours lost finding references and looking up sources. Terraform has the same issue, though terraform is not nearly as complex.

Had it been configured with a programming language, we could have at least gotten autosuggestions and finding references/source.

I work with ansible daily and this is completely wrong. You don't do declarative syntax with scripting languages.

It's still the best config management precisely due to its readable syntax
