+# Epitaph
+
+Don’t outsource to automation because it’s easy, or because you don’t know how to do it. You won’t learn anything — and you’ll forget how the system actually works.
+
+Learn the stack beneath the tool.
+
+Remember: Ansible is just Python wrapped up nice, and Puppet’s Ruby underneath — which is even worse.
+
+Build on the lowest denominator — it survives everywhere.
+
+**Rooted. Human.**
+Because sometimes you have to be root to do stuff.
