Well my pet hate is that I write a lot of YAML. It's poorly structured, unreliable, nuanced, schemaless and difficult to edit reliably. I prefer XML and XSLT to this shit show. Oh and unnecessarily distributed things.
In summary, apparent simplicity that causes actual complexity is a big problem now.
- everfrustrated 4y agoAre you not using an IDE to edit Yaml? I edit Yaml all week long and it's all got local validation with schema and syntax.
- gw99 4y agoYes VScode but fuck me it's still painful.
