Even though I immediately see how my comment could be considered to be gatekeeping, I won't apologize for it, as I mostly mean to explain what I think was the meaning of the grandparent: that writing YAML for a living means you're a business user, not a software engineer. Just as you'd have to squint real hard to label a pro excel user as a software engineer. If everything is easy, you're not learning transferable skills.
And I hate YAML with a passion, too, an opinion which I feel I'm entitled to.
- IshKebab 2y ago> And I hate YAML with a passion, too, an opinion which I feel I'm entitled to. Can't disagree with you there! Though I do struggle to find something else to recommend. JSON5 is probably my favoured format - JSON is very clear and simple but the lack of comments is a catastrophic flaw. Unfortunately JSON5 has pretty poor adoption in the ecosystem (IDE support, libraries etc).
