Geocaching! Finding my first geocache was the defining moment of the past year for me. It's the perfect quarantine activity, and what's more is that there are geocaches everywhere . Anytime I go somewhere new (or places I've

I think that's a good point about manufactured positivity, and it makes me wonder if the question I've asked is itself flawed. I think your solution of promoting positivity to management positions carries its own concerns though,

Thanks for leaving this comment saying that you were successful and it only took about an hour, otherwise I wouldn't have had much confidence in the scripts. It took me ~2 hours but I'm not as well versed in ansible. I'm fina

I think you're bordering on a contentious idea that I will take a step further. I would argue that frontend, nearly in its entirety , is effectively one giant bike-shed operation. And like you're alluding to, it's an operati
