What a beautiful sentiment. Very well said.

To my chagrin, I’ve seen the “private sector” learning this lesson very well, with the practice of codifying configurations of machines and networks in “infrastructure as code” documents. Though these still require special training to decipher and apply, they make people (or workers) much easier to replace.

Although, I’m not sure I want reproduce the patterns I’ve learned from the corporate world, I’m curious if there’s merit to using some of this technology to make infrastructure more easily "spin-up-able. " Or maybe SH hardware will vary too much to make something like OpenTofu useful in a non-cloud setting.

Yes 😞

Same. I’m addicted. I literally have 5 strewn about me right now.

I use a brand called “decomposition” books, I guess because they’re made with recycled paper.

If you could mods and third party derivatives, Doom/II

Enjoy! Would love to hear a newcomer’s thoughts on it. I remember it being so immersive and cinematic the first time I played.

Though many of its innovations are now common in other games.
