/Users/davidboon/Projects/outreach/devbase/evadnoob_fix_get-absolute-path-remove-python-dependency/service.yaml
python -c "import os,sys; print(os.path.realpath(sys.argv[1]))" service.yaml  0.01s user 0.02s system 7% cpu 0.436 total

time realpath service.yaml
/Users/davidboon/Projects/outreach/devbase/evadnoob_fix_get-absolute-path-remove-python-dependency/service.yaml
