You were a liability
Comment on ChatGPT is down worldwide, conversations disappeared for users
corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 2 days agoWell it’s going to put a damper on my Ansible “coding”.
You think I want to properly learn that piece of junk? It was obsolete and archaic before it was released, and it survives on naivete and churn cost and nothing else. There is no part of my time doing yaml for Ansible that I want to actually retain or build on, and without chatGPT to slop-in the changes I need to make, I may be forced to do it myself. And I lack the crayons now and alcohol for after.
Actually subjecting my brain to Ansible directly in real-time is a horror. It is just so fucking lame compared to everything else – it even pales compared to the DevOps we were doing in 2002 before it was even called that. Let my have my robots to slop the Ansible and save my sanity !

Ok, yaml is fair game for a LLM. Whitespace sensitive language should die in a fire, markup or otherwise.

Why do you say that?
herrvogel@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Because whitespace sensitivity makes it very easy to make a whole bunch of annoying mistakes when shuffling code around, or copying it from one source to another (from one editor in one application to another editor in another application). I find it supremely unpleasant to work with. Looking kinda a little bit slightly messed up should not be a critical syntax error that breaks the whole code.

I agree. I think ansible is great in principle, but the documentation is severely lacking. Like it’ll tell you to set a value, but not whether it’s supposed to be in yaml, environment, or something else. And if it’s in yaml, it doesn’t tell you the required context to make it valid. But when someone has taken all the documentation, all the tutorials, the articles, the example code, working code, and stack overflow answers and put them all into a blender, often a useful answer comes out.
