- fiddlerwoaroof 6y agoYeah, Unix utilities and the whole text processing paradigm can do some amazing things if you know how to design for it. I’ve been doing some Cloudformation work recently, and it’s so easy just to throw together dashboards to watch the progress and outcome of a deploy.
- smabie 6y agoI think the point is that they're not, usually, this powerful. Saul made a deliberate choice to create a file format that would be extremely amenable to these tools.
