  • Some say a mind is like a parachute, works best when open. But I also like this from Warhammer 40k that “An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded.” There are a bunch of ideas that you don’t have to give credence to because you already know they’re trash. You can seek them out for edification, but please don’t think open mindedness means you have to respect every idea with consideration, that you have to listen to people just because they’re talking, etc.

    Anyway, good luck with your search. I’ve not been exposed to right wing comedy that’s funny.

















  • A few weeks? How do you stay employed? How do you even feed yourself at that pace? Blocked on making a sandwich, I’ve got the wrong type of bread.

    It’s three lines in an editor config file to standardize the indents across any editor: https://editorconfig.org/

    In vscode, adding two extensions is all I need:, yamllint (if you don’t use linters, I don’t know how you do your job in any language) and rainbow indents. Atom had similar ones. I’m sure all IDEs are capable of these things. If you work at a place that forces you to use a specific editor and limits the way you can use it, that’s not YAML’s fault.

    At a certain point, it’s your deficiencies that make a language difficult, not the language’s. Don’t blame your hammer when you haven’t heated the iron.


  • So it’s easy to enforce locally but you don’t have to. And it’s easy to see indentation on modern IDEs and you can even make your indents rainbows and collapse structures to make it easier to see what’s going on, but I guess since some people want to write it in vi without ALE or a barebones text editor, it’s bad? Like there are legit reasons it’s bad, and other people have mentioned them throughout the thread, but this seems like a pretty easy thing to deal with. I work with ansible a bunch and YAML rarely is where my problem is.
