totally off topic, but I just wanted to get it off my chest. This is
therapy for me.

I suppose your right. Maybe infrastructure isn't sexy. But dealing
with bad infrastructure is a HUGE time waster. I can't see how it is
that I seem to the only one that gets frustrated with this. BTW it's
not just Boost. In many of the organizations I've worked for it's even
worse. I just can't wrap my head around this.

Don't get me started on documentation.
