I've only got a few VPS instances, but setting hostnames automatically to match Ansible inventory makes my life so much easier. I should have done this way sooner. It's so much nicer than seeing wilfred@ubuntu on every box I ssh into.

It's weird that GitHub shows time since the last commit, but not time since the first commit. It's a nice way of seeing how mature a project is.

After seeing yet another YAML dialect for controlling systems, I think we need a hierarchy of YAML dialect expressiveness. (1) Has its own variable binding system. (2) Supports if statements. (3) Supports loops. (4) Supports function definition. 2 seems to be the most common, but I've seen all of 1-3. Does level 4 exist in the wild yet?
