> The third is the most important, and it is the thread of this blog: open source is text. A Proxmox config is files. So it is versionable in Git, readable by an AI, auditable, reproducible. A proprietary hypervisor is a black box that neither Git nor my AI agent can really work with. Moving to Proxmox was not just a change of software: it made my infrastructure legible to my tools.
I agree with that point and AI is gonna help drive an important change there that was long overdue. I remember once at the beginning of my career working with a bunch of consultants that all could not even write simple Python and as a result of that every SOP was basically a bunch of GUI operations, mostly over RDP, so impossible to script. I hope this kind of stuff is now going away with AI, since even the non-coders can code now and will finally understand why GUIs suck. Thank LLMs for that.

Man did I hate those screenshot driven SOPs!
