Heh, I get that feeling from a fair number of "modern" things. It's

almost as if all the new frameworks and such that make programming

easier also make it easier to just make a horrible mess.

Terraform, Packer, Ansible, etc. These just happen to be the /modern/

things I'm using at work lately. They are all useful but all seem to be

not quite as good as they could be.

I haven't set up a gemini capsule of my own yet, but reading this group

I'm getting more interesting in doing so. Modern is not bad in and of

itself, but neither is old bad just because it's old.
