New comment by usrme in "Every book recommended on the Odd Lots Discord"

usrme — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 08:35:38 +0000

Agreed. If that would be too cumbersome to add, then a simple counter showing how many times a book has been recommended would help guide, me at least, a little better than just categories.

This sounds interesting. Would you be able to share more information about this style of running? I'm having a hard time imagining how this plays out in real life.

New comment by usrme in "Show HN: Enroll, a tool to reverse-engineer servers into Ansible config mgmt"

usrme — Fri, 02 Jan 2026 11:50:37 +0000

An incredible undertaking! How much testing have you done with regards to harvesting a manual configuration into Ansible, creating a new machine and then applying that to see whether the machine is a functional representation of the old machine?

The reason I'm asking is because I'm interested in how much confidence could be lent to this tool with regards to more old and obscure machines that have been running for years.

Like my guy 'diarrhea' already echoed: using CUE absolutely does not make sense at a small scale; just write your YAML and get on with your day. We were using it to generate dozens upon dozens of GitHub Actions workflows from what was essentially a single source of truth, and because CUE can export to JSON too then that single source of truth could then easily be leveraged to provide other input files to be used elsewhere.

When I got started it was much more difficult as you had to do a lot of manual work to get things started, and you really had to believe the promises that CUE offered (which I did...), but nowadays they've made so many steps in the right direction that getting something going is far quicker!

Here are a few links to whet your appetite:

- https://cue.dev/docs/getting-started-with-github-actions-cue...

- https://cue.dev/docs/drying-up-github-actions-workflows/

- https://cue.dev/docs/spotting-errors-earlier-github-actions-...

Definitely read through the CUE documentation (https://cuelang.org/docs/), watch their YouTube videos (https://www.youtube.com/@cuelang/videos), and join the community Slack channel (https://cuelang.org/community/). I've gotten a lot of help in the Slack from both enthusiastic community members and from the developers themselves whenever I've gotten stuck.

Dagger was something I looked into two or so years ago before they got consumed by the LLM and AI agent hype, and while the promise of being able to run the exact CI workflows locally seemed excellent, it seemed that there's basically no way be a Dagger user without buying into their Dagger Cloud product.

I ended up opting for CUE and GitHub Actions, and I'm glad I did as it made everything much, much simpler.

I wasn't able to see some example images or a demo video. That would be great to have before setting things up.

I've been wanting to create a similar holiday optimizer tool myself, but what you've done is marvelous! Do you take requests for new countries? I see that you're using https://date.nager.at/ as the source and country is listed, so perhaps it's easily doable?

usrme — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 15:19:27 +0000

Seconded. I've had huge success with generating workflows with CUE. Would definitely recommend it to anyone struggling with YAML.

There was actually a really terrible brown-out by Poetry (a Python dependency management and packaging tool) where they introduced sporadic failures to people's CI/CD systems: https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/pull/6297
