I disagree. The rigidity of YAML and stuff like that is what actually makes LLMs work better. I have strict linting rules and file size limits and it imposes discipline on LLMs. That's why it worked even last year. Even before Opus 4.0 it worked to some extent as long as you imposed discipline on these models Trust me, I do pretty complicated things with Ansible, key thing is to have decent established patterns and these models truly are getting better.

That's not my point at all.

When you have 6 stanzas to perform a dynamic if/else branch, the underlying system if flawed.

Models can overcome the complexity of ansible-- I argue that they shouldn't be. Ansible is a flawed framework.
