@badnetmask It's not so much that I have encountered specific issues as the fact that it just feels clunky and slow compared to just using ansible or ansible-playbook from the terminal.

It just seems like ansible with extra steps and doesn't add anything that would warrant using it.

So my general question is more... why anyone bothers to use ansible-navigator?

If you just want/need a nice UI then it seems like Tower, AWX, Semaphore or even AnsibleForms would be better choices.

I tend to live more in the terminal, but for particularly for a homelab environment, if you want a UI, then Semaphore seems like a no-brainer.

Serious question for the #Ansible nerds. Is anyone actually using ansible-navigator?

I'm finally getting around to tinkering with it and so far, it seems like much more trouble than it's worth even with the logging capabilities.

As someone trying to learn #python my hot take of the day is: "List Comprehension" is a dumb way to say "I'm going to create a list based on pre-determined parameters".

Yes I understand the origins. I still hate it. It itches my #neurospicy brain in the exact wrong way.

If you aren't mathematician, the word "Comprehension" comes with many other connotations and can be confusing.

You know what would make more sense? Just calling it what it is: A "List Expression"

@Gargron On the bright side, you don't have to actually BE there in front of all of those people. 🙃

@evacide It must be like the nerds attending DragonCon like it's Mardi Gras. They've been repressing that energy in public so long that it has to come out somewhere. Ha.
