I don't quite understand the YAML hate from some people. I agree that Helm is messy, but it has a lot of coding like things in YAML and then it feel like dependencies just live randomly somewhere. For the most part our YAML files are self contained. Yes you can use ref() and also pull other files, but most of that is obvious in syntax. What we should do is to make sure our YAML is as easy to navigate as possible in various editors, especially VScode with the extension

Or just use CUE, it's sooo much better, you can use it in conjunction with/extension to all the popular formats, get real schemas/imports/modules I discovered CUE after trying to do too much in yaml, after adding imports I had to step back and ask what I am I doing. It's super hacky, a real language is much better long-term in reliability and maintainability. DevOps seems to enjoy the pain, unsure why we continue to use messy tools. CUE is actually nice and fun to use before any comparisions to existing config formats.
