to get in the habit of sunsetting a bunch of them, but I'm not there yet. But when I get a new Linux box set up or I just reimage a machine, I don't have to put a bunch of work in or set up nicks or some [ __ ] I just want to get that machine online ASAP. So, I ended up configuring a bunch of things for my machine, getting my laptop how I wanted, and then telling an agent to look at all of my config, look at my bash history, look at all the things I set up, and write them all down. And then once I did that, I told it to go set up another machine with all of the things I liked. and it got a lot of it, but it missed some things and it did some things it didn't need to. So, I told it all of those. I told it to adjust those instructions to better fit the needs that I had. And it did. It created a whole provision a box skill that is all of the things that I want to have on these new machines that I can set up over SSH. I even got it to make me this nice little HTML page that it updates every time it makes changes to the fleet that detail all the machines, their specs, what they do, what exists on
