I just had a shiver recalling a Kubernetes wrapper wrapper wapper wrapper at a former job. I think there were at least two layers of mystical YAML generation hell. I couldn't stop it, and it tanked much joy in my work. It was a factor in me moving on.

Surely the right approach needs to be generating the desired data programmatically, rendering back to YAML if needed, rather than building these files with text macros.
