About

So many cloud products are "wizards". But do we need *library* products instead? Wizards are cockpits. All these buttons and settings! Sometimes they are very easy to use. But what if you need to integrate it into an automatic pipeline? Or when the configuration is non-standard? It can be very hard to get right and quite tedious. Libraries are toolboxes. Except that most tools are made out of smaller parts of their own. You choose what level of detail to work with and can always dig deeper when you need to. It's easy to integrate them into your workflows, scripts or otherwise. I hope to make the cloud more library-like. More about modular pieces that can be swapped out and traded. It is a daunting task, but bit by bit, line by line, it can be done.
