Terraform, Packer, Ansible, etc. These just happen to be the /modern/
things I'm using at work lately. They are all useful but all seem to be
not quite as good as they could be.
I haven't set up a gemini capsule of my own yet, but reading this group
I'm getting more interesting in doing so. Modern is not bad in and of
itself, but neither is old bad just because it's old.
I meant the general trend of implementations (regardless of language)
that are multiple layers of abstraction, resulting in any number of
half-baked interdependencies that break everything once some
"lower-level" package that everyone depends on goes away for whatever
reason.
