A comment on Ansible 4.0. Parent comment

I've been maintaining the ansible scripts for a dev vagrant box for 5 years. I've found it needs constant care and feeding/tweaking. I finally just gave up and install what I need locally with brew. Also vbox uses all the memory and makes the fans go brrrr.

Ditto on the constant care. And the Ops comment on brittle 3rd party modules is spot on.

I went back to a shell script to configure our developer VMs when I realised I was spending more time debugging Ansible updates than scripting it myself would take. And now I know exactly what's going on.
