For fun I've been writing a fairly complicated set of Linux automation scripts in both Ansible and Pyinfra.
I like Pyinfra, but it feels a lot more like I'm programming in Python then defining automation tasks.
I think a lot of Ansible dislike is from bad implementation.
@geerlingguy I have been giving this idea, about bad implementations being bigger problems than the tools themselves, and wondering about the flipped argument: maybe the tools make it really easy to make bad implementations.
With that in mind, I don’t necessarily blame the implementer. But I start to wonder if a different tool is better for the job.
This isn’t necessarily about ansible, but automation tooling in general.
