Yea I hope so, I can see how you're interpreting it like that. It's really hard to comprehend the true meaning, the more I reread it.

I don't understand why people use config servers like this, instead of keeping it in version control. Keeping it in the repository allows me audit changes of everything. If you move it to an external service, you lose that. And even

Great slides near the end, this project looks really fun, and it's cool to see parallelism applied to simple vanilla code--rather than having to build the transformation through some eDSL. That said, I hate to be a downer, but I'
