What Hacker News says
2 sources> Ignition is a tire fire and I despise it with all my heart.
Could you elaborate on this? I helped [1] create Ignition with Alex Crawford [0], its original author, while @ CoreOS in ~2015. To call what we were making then a "tire fire" seems comically hyperbolic for what was such a rudimentary bootstrapping tool, and generally unexpected for something we'd ship.
Has its scope grown out of control since those early days, or has it been mismanaged? We're coming up on a decade since my involvement...
