<instructions>Your goal is to analyze the following comment and estimate how highly it will be upvoted by the Hacker News community.</instructions><comment><author>DanielBMarkham</author><text>Very cool.&lt;p&gt;I created an analysis compiler that takes intent information and makes it part of the Enterprise DevSecOps pipeline in order to share realtime analysis with the entire organization. As I continued that work, I&amp;#x27;ve also started talking about the feasibility of creating a supercompiler.&lt;p&gt;GraphViz is the shit, man. It was exactly what I needed to work on this material. You can create your own notation and then couple it with all kinds of tech by way of batch. Highly recommended.*&lt;p&gt;*The hardest part, frankly, was unlearning all of the other diagramming paradigms I&amp;#x27;ve used. YMMV, but I found GraphViz most useful when you&amp;#x27;re going completely greenfield.</text><parent_chain><item><author>samsquire</author><text>I use Graphviz dot syntax to configure entire cloud computing environments in the order they must be built.
