  • YAML works great for small config files, or situations where your configuration is fully declarative. Go look at the Kubernetes API with its resources.

    People think YAML sucks because everyone loves creating spaghetti config/templates with it.

    One reason it tends to become an absolute unholy mess is because people work around the declarative nature of those APIs by shoving imperative code into it. Think complicated Helm charts with little snippets of logic and code all over the place. It just isn’t really made for doing that.

    It also forces your brain to switch back and forth between the two different paradigms. It doesn’t just become hard to read, it becomes hard to reason about.

    I love STS and I’ve played ~6h of Balatro.

    It isn’t clicking with me like STS did. STS has tons of flavour and variety, but Balatro’s main flavour is “poker” with some surrealism on top. The gameplay mostly has you staring at poker cards and thinking about how to stack point multipliers with jokers. It felt pretty monotonous to me after a while.

    Balatro is definitely fun and worth its price. Give it a shot if you like STS. I just don’t think it’s the second coming of STS like a lot of people have been saying.
