I’m honestly amazed ansible still exists. I used it regularly like 10 years ago and never liked it. I use NixOS for all my servers and package all my code as nix flakes, and I agree that they’re barely comparable.

As a very pale person who was bullied a lot for it and probably has lasting personal doubt from that bullying, I think there is just a fundamental difference (in the US).

Hey thanks for sharing I’m in basically the exact same boat. There are also pressures in the work place to use it because of the time savings. Personally I try to keep a balance and work on things myself most of the time and if the LLM is used it’s more like a buddy coder than a magic code generation tool, but sometimes it’s just too easy to use it that way. I think it’s important to take pride in your work, so keep doing things your way when you want!
