Came here to say that. I’d rather spend 4 days automating my local development environment than spend half an hour every time figuring out why my deps are mismatched, or what is the correct env var to put over there.
If everyone on the team wastes 10 minutes on random BS every day, it is thousands of money compounding over months.
Society is our natural condition though. The problem is that our societies are diverse and at war with each other, so it’s becoming overwhelmingly hard to tell which ones are ergonomic, and which ones are exploitative. Doesn’t help that the most ergonomic and non-exploitative societies around also feature significantly reduced individual consumption rates and lack of private property rights. Here in the west we are morbidly addicted to both.
That was mean as heck though. One can be correct and approachable at the same time.
My sibling in craft, docs are not “boilerplate”, they are the main freaking sauce. That is why they should be written by a human who understands stuff. I genuinely believe you are missing the point of the practice.
