the reason I make this comment is because I think it’s valuable that anyone who can do the job well gets to do the thing, and that it’s never good to gatekeep people out. let’s not unnecessarily contribute to imposter syndrome

coming soon: HPE Aruniper?

The extreme hypercentralisation really does suck :|

afaik the meme format didn't start there, but otherwise agreed
