That might just be my favorite HN exchange ever. Y'all remind me of emacs users. Between this and the unusual number of Perl mentions on HN today, my cockles are suitably heated.
That is a compliment. Nary a day passes where HN doesn't give me a reason to keep clicking links and learning.
I started off giggling and now I'm moved from my tablet to a laptop so that I can investigate your shutit - as it looks like a handy tool for learning. The scales look the most interesting.
I have been here for a while, but only recently (past couple of months) decided to comment. I lurked for like 12 months, just to see if I'd fit in. Why? HN continually has commentary about things I haven't yet learned.
In short, this is my awkward attempt to thank you. I'll be spending the afternoon trying to enjoy your shutit scales.

Among many other things I use it to test Kubernetes/OpenShift clusters in Vagrant for Chef recipes:
