`Fedora()` #

I’ve been quite busy the past many months, contributing to the Fedora project in ways that I never planned.

I initially thought that I would join to help the ops folk modernize a few things and brush up on my Ansible. But I quickly discovered that Fedora Infra is quite a difficult beast to get one’s hands around, even if you have decades of professional infra skills behind you. There are a large number of reasons for this, and none of them are, “someone is an incompetent jerk”, which makes it a difficult problem to solve. (As with most complex systems, emergent feedback loops are tricky.)
