Yes but parts of it must live in the dev environment. CI by its very nature runs untrusted code. That is very hard to secure. Keep it away from production, production artifacts and production credentials. CI and CD should also be separate s

That might have been the promise but never the real value. As you say in practice the engineer needs to know ops & terraform along side their language of choice. The real value of cdktf was more dynamic infrastructure provisioning while

Oxygen is a hell of a drug. I use nose strips, and I'm addicted now too.

It's cool to see Australian values & parenting techniques propagating into American society. Our conquest will be complete soon :)

Probably. GPT3.5 was really good at writing unit tests. I asked it to unit tests for some typescript code using jest and aws-sdk-mock. It did it as I would do. I really couldn't fault it.

Energy is life. But we've had commercial nuclear for over half a century. We as a society just chose to pollute instead of dealing with the real / not real risks associated with nuclear.

I didn't interpret the OP's comment to suggest a specific order of invention, but an order of adoption / influence in a society.

IMO Netflix and Amazon Prime's problem is they don't surface their good content enough. They mix it with their shitty content. They should make it stand out. HBO are good at this. When they make something good, that they know is g

You've made a very good point. All new software/systems I build will use TAI64. As an industry we should just push this move ourselves

As much a fan of Terraform I am. If you didn't started defining your repos in Terraform from day 0, importing hundreds of repos, members, permission sets would be quite a lot more work than running this audit tool.

That further improves the analogy. Even though we all agree washing hands is important and saves lives, it still doesn't happen on occasion.

You can put your keys in source control if you are encrypting them with another key which is not in source control. Otherwise you're doing it wrong.

You're jumping to conclusions in your final statement there. The existence of inexcusable bad practices does not mean we should not try to mitigate against them, and I didn't say we shouldn't.

That's certainly a good idea. But the secrets shouldn't be in the codebase to begin with, certainly not production secrets. Production secrets should stay in production and no one has access. Whatever intends to use the production

Doctors used to not wash their hands too. I get it though, and i've seen the same thing. Really it comes down to education and not granting access to secrets to people who aren't capable of handling them.

I'm not going to disagree with that and I'm not opposed to the privacy controls in GDPR. The context here in a solo dev who is dealing with GDPR. When you're trying to get a business off the ground, iterating fast and trying

Those three are not all equal. "Production keys in source control" is the equivalent of a surgeon not washing their hands between between surgeries. It's basic level of professional competency that should not be violated. The

If I was starting a startup today. I'd probably just block Europe and focus on other markets initially. Loop back on Europe once you have product market fit and the resources to deal with GDPR.

I've never played EVE Online, but that is a not because I don't want to. It's basically the game I dreamed about as a kid. And I know if I play, I will want to win, but you can't win, you can only dominate; by investing

You're talking like managing stateful services in an ephemeral environment is as simple as installing and configuring Postgres. Postgres is its self is 1% of the consideration here.

I don't understand what they do to prevent the things they rant about. It's like the drunk uncle payment processor. Sure there are legitimate grievances to address with the current state of freedom of speech etc, but it is clear t

When Apple released the very first iPod, I wrote to Steve Jobs to tell him that I would buy it if it was a phone too, as i don't want to carry two devices. I doubt I was the only one who had this thought, but I like to think i influenc

I explicitly wasn't talking about second and third world countries, so your comment is mostly moot. I don't know about you, but I prefer we compete with our peers on quality of life rather than the tiers below. We should strive to

I would agree that it's not entirely the result of precarious financial situations. But even in tech and other high paying sectors, I would argue it still plays a factor, even if it is unconscious. Golden handcuffs are in part evident

You're right and wrong. You are right that it is hard if you are poor and easy if you are rich. But you are wrong that HN or people outside of the US do not understand that it is only hard for poor people. It's just that external

Not to mention living in America is like playing life on hard mode; at least relative to other OECD countries. There's a lot more things you have to take care of / think about in America. There's a level of mental overhead th
