Just to be on record:
I honestly didn’t expect that even non-YAML code (👀 @nuke build – yeah, I’m talking to you...) would require just as many fucking never-ending commits.
Azure DevOps has proven me wrong. (lol)

The real pain point?
No local test run
No Run pipeline locally
Zero feedback until you PR, merge, and let it rip on main

So yeah, we’re basically testing on the main branch. In production. In 2025.
For everything else, there’s: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also, I firmly believe that not only Carthage must be destroyed, but also:

- CI/CD with no local feedback loop
- “Works on my machine” excuses
_ YAML files that silently break on pasted tabs
- And every doc that starts with “just”

And yes — I really thought nuke build would make things better...
But after 24 hours of commits, checks, and trial-and-error, I’ve been proven otherwise (and I really wanted to make it work and local debugging is awesome — but it’s useless when the docs are a soggy mess and don’t reflect reality.)

Why ????

YAML interprets certain unquoted strings as booleans:

yes, no, on, off,

#python #yamlops #yaml #yamlengineer

Working on some updates to the Home Assistant Config Helper VSCode extensions for the past few weeks as it needed replacement of the YAML parser used; now that is done...

I've added: Warnings for the use of entity IDs that don't exist in your instance 😎

Discover how #PklLang is redefining Infrastructure as Code!

Unlike complex #YAML, Pkl uses schemas & constraints for robust configuration management, catching errors early and providing clear feedback.
