The operational tools should be the most stable bits and instead they are janky as fuck and I’ve spent too much of my career smacking victim-blaming tennis balls back over the net. If you look at what Ansible replaces it’s a wonder production ever worked at all. If you have to baby your automation it’s not automation.

Ops people are not used to thinking in boundary conditions. Hell, devs forget half the time. That’s part of why people wanted to merge them in the first place. Get the right sorts of cynicism together in a room and make me something with a big green button an idiot can push while everyone is in a meeting.
