Just found this cool tiny helper app: Syntax Highlight. It enables #syntax highlighting in #macOS's #quickview! I was actually just searching for sth that would enable the preview of #yaml files. Now I can preview pretty much any code file directly in #Finder/ #PathFinder 😊👌
Hot take: I love #Symfony, it's really the best #PHP framework out there (at least, the most powerful), but this obsession with #YAML is just… something. When I read workflows, even sample ones, my brain issues a warning about possible stack overflow 😂
A sample from a blog post about enums in workflows in 7.4:
```
# config/packages/workflow.yaml
framework:
workflows:
blog_publishing:
type: 'workflow'
marking_store:
type: 'method'
property: 'status'
supports:
- App\Entity\BlogPost
initial_marking: !php/enum App\Enumeration\BlogPostStatus::Draft
places: !php/enum App\Enumeration\BlogPostStatus
transitions:
to_review:
from: !php/enum App\Enumeration\BlogPostStatus::Draft
to: !php/enum App\Enumeration\BlogPostStatus::Reviewed
publish:
from: !php/enum App\Enumeration\BlogPostStatus::Reviewed
to: !php/enum App\Enumeration\BlogPostStatus::Published
reject:
from: !php/enum App\Enumeration\BlogPostStatus::Reviewed
to: !php/enum App\Enumeration\BlogPostStatus::Rejected
```
Maybe it's just me, but to me it's extremely hard to read and debug.
Apparently, we are storing log output in .yml files now! 😬

New-ish blog post: Adventures of a YAML engineer
https://blog.legoktm.com/2025/08/28/adventures-of-a-yaml-engineer.html
(I actually wrote this back in May and never published it...)
I mostly wanted to brag about a bit of YAML code I wrote back in March for #SecureDrop's completed migration to Ubuntu Noble that I neglected to mention in the blog post explaining the technical details. Yes, #YAML, is a programming language.
Run pipelines in the terminal.
#pipelight is a cli/engine that runs pipelines in the terminal.(pssst: it's #foss 😏 and #rust 😏)
It has json AND pretty tree outputs so you can inspect every process outputs fairly quickly.🕵
Supports #yaml, #toml, #hcl, #javascript and some other languages.
#sysadmin #devops #cicd #developers
Every buzz word are there👌so you don't miss it, thk me later 😜
