Yeah, but I have Claude Code or Codex do this Ansible stuff and they do just fine with all this and then there's a gazillion of examples that they can lean on and once the patterns are established, it's pretty smooth. Opus 4.5 was when the big inflection was I was heavy into automation all summer. It was Opus 4.0. It was like pulling teeth. And then when 4.5 came out, it was just beautiful.

"I only use tools that my LLM knows how to use" is not the flex that you think it is

Yeah, you’re gonna eat your words when you do something that’s not “install this package” and “create this user”.

For anything dynamic and sufficiently complicated, ansible is horrible. Pyinfra is much better.
