Friel, It's no surprise to see you here posting this. This is so cool to see, thank you for preserving this. A fitting tribute.
But as you said, the language itself is almost unbearable to use.
Most of us are humans after all, and being social creatures we tend to take violations of trust quite deeply.
Best of luck in the future! I'm a nobody - but I was around in the packer days and wrote a post-processor and terraform provider for our vsphere back in the day. I don't think I'd be where I am now without those experiences. Thanks!
we need an environment where new people can get these stories faster
i mean a place where stories are repeated and a different place where new stories are put up
that makes things interesting as well i guess
