Haven't had my coffee yet but this strike me as, "reinvent the Makefile". Which I have certainly used as a place to codify steps with benefits.

- hansvm 2y agoI'd disagree slightly, insofar as the author would probably be fine with a makefile for the problem at hand. The thing you're solving is runbooks/documentation being high-toil and slightly harder to automate than they should be. If you encode that in programmatic steps (including a makefile), you reduce the toil and also the activation energy for properly automating it later. Makefile vs python vs zig build vs whatever isn't relevant to their poiy.
- DocTomoe 2y agoI would love to see you automating "Take the tapes out of the backup robot and drive them to the safe on the bank" in a Makefile.
