- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. Β
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

Don't hate me here but this feels like that meme where the guy puts a stick in the spokes of his bike and blames the stick.
I think that's just a process problem, definitely depends on the specifics of your organization but I think if you raised that concern, you could probably come up with a solution that isn't quite so burdensome, while maintaining the maturity level of IaC.
And I hate to be that guy but that last sentence doesn't seem have much at all to do with IaC. Big shops can use IaC, so can small shops. In my case it's the latter, we just have so much tech spread across so many platforms that maintaining it purely via GUI is infeasible. IaC is simply the best way to go for us, due to the sheer number of moving pieces.
Then again, I'm sick and maybe I'm misreading it, if that's the case, my apologies.
Well, we can certainly agree to disagree. I'm not oblivious to having a blind spot here and there. In fact, I very much enjoyed our discussion here, and your perspective. It almost feels like a 2000s era forum discussion, before all the sour people got access to the internet. So thanks, and get well soon!
