Why we’re basically fucked without massive political upheaval: capitalism will always consider climate-related goals a “nice to have” in comparison to chasing the almighty profits. https://mastodon.nl/@digiconomist/112587596011291080
Ask an innocuous if oddball question on Slack, a few days later some poor fella who knew a few things is now dealing with the HN commentariat. Sorry buddy 😩
It was somewhere around reading and writing the string “WebAclRuleStatementManagedRuleGroupStatementScopeDownStatementByteMatchStatementArgs” that my steadfast desire to avoid writing HCL at all costs, began to break down.
Thankfully, my gut instinct that "surely you can just stuff some fucking dict()s in here instead, so it looks way more like native AWS JSON” is panning out, which has – so far – saved me from immediately throwing #Pulumi in the trash.
Need a flat, 2-inch-tall, narrowish (for the domain) footrest 🫠
My Humanscale FR300 is well made, but still fucks up my posture & makes my chair creep backwards.
Naturally, nobody makes this sort of thing (he said confidently, hoping to be disproved, hint, hint).
I'd probably find it easier to order some extra-short desk legs to replace my too-tall-at-minimum-height sit-stand motorized ones. Which is my fallback plan.

Free superhero idea: a murderous vigilante who exclusively targets rich capitalists responsible for mass death and misery. Superhero name: "Consequences".
Plus: they honored my request for no cucumber, and extra avocado.
Minus: they interpreted “dressing on side” as “extra dressing on side”. Good lord, restaurant salads come with way too much fucking dressing by default. Somebody get me a goddamned rowboat.
Pulumi seems the obvious choice for me personally (I prefer the tradeoffs of internal DSLs, & certainly would rather write infra code in Python vs HCL).
But Pulumi has /exactly/ the same business-model risk OG TF had (freemium product controlled by a single commercial entity). Not sure I want to bet on its trajectory over the next 5-10 years!
