feedback for GCP's firewall ruleset workflow.
Your firewall rules interface is a byzantine nightmarish hellscape. To gaze upon it is to gaze deep into an eldricth horror. One so suborned to the evil of it's UX will find themselves robbed of their sanity and fallen into a bottomless chasm of despair.
This interface has ruined me. It has stolen precious hours of my life and productivity. The person responsible for it, is truly evil incarnate and could in no way have produced a more mind destructive workflow should they have spent decades mastering their craft.
If your goal was to make your customers despise you with ever fiber of their ruined being, you have succeeded beyond your wildest expectations.
Seriously. This is god awful beyond measure. There is literally nothing good about the firewall rules workflow in GCP. NOTHING. How you managed to produce this horror show I cannot fathom. How you had the mind boggling audacity to put it into the production world will forever leave me scarred. And how in several years time you have not simply abandoned it and issued a formal and heartfelt apology for it's existence... I continue to find myself asking as I am forced into interfacing with it.
I love my job. Every aspect. Except this. This is truly torture. This is a war crime.
I don't know that anyone reads these. But if you do... know that I lived. I experienced the horror that is the firewall rules workflow in GCP. And that I am but one of many of it's victims. Maybe someday those responsible will be held to account for such diabolical efforts. I doubt it. But, I want you to know ... from the depths of hell I stab at thee.
