I'm in KL right now and I am actually very surprised by the high quality of living here. You're right it's not on par with SG or HK but closer to those than any other big city in SEA (Bangkok, HCMC, Jakarta, Manila, etc) - wh

Yes, abstractions do leak sometimes. I'm not saying I'm running this on all my production servers right now. For me the problem this tool solves is real (although not big), and I'm interested to see what other people think of

It's not always about the complexity of the solution. This is a great example of something annoying a lot of people here can identify with (myself included). I'd say this annoys a lot of people whose job it is to automate things,
