I believe comments like this is why I'm constantly finding disagreement with what you say. You have a very hard slant. Personally, I've found, and seen others having, a wide array of alternatives available to them. If "we" don't show that t

That's cool, but it seems a bit overcomplicated. We use an alias for each instance and keep that alias file in github. A new dev comes on board, they git pull, and they are off and running. Maybe I'm missing something, but how is this pytho
