Mikhail, one of our very brilliant developers, recently brought this talk to my attention. I just had time to look at this and it is very good. The talk is a most excellent discussion about making choices about easy versus simple in software. I recommend everyone to watch this and absorb its content.
It is very relevant to the discussion about making CFEngine easier/simpler, also vis a vis the choices made by Puppet/Chef versus CFEngine, etc etc - and I very much agree with the speaker's viewpoint. He does not provide any answers, but he poses important questions: the best kind of talk. M PS - Category theory (re: monads) is a form of mathematics, akin to set theory which is often used to explain anything by pulling the wool over people's eyes :) _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
