Despite the obvious levity, this is actually serious. It was made by why the lucky stiff, a pretty prominent member of Ruby community, back in the day. This, however, was part of his mysterious burnout manifesto, for lack of better term. He really really bloody needed a break.

"programming is rather thankless. u see your works become replaced by superior ones in a year. unable to run at all in a few more."

I was building up some packer stuff. Vsphere-iso plug-in. Tests were going fine and then for reasons I didn't understand it said it could no longer find the cd creation tool it has just been using.

So I try a few things, nothing works. So I figure I have nothing to lose, I make a new folder to house all the tools in one place. Update Windows system environment path. Restart everything. VScode didn't have my path statement, Google is of 0 fucking help, and now packer doesn't work. I least it's the weekend now.
