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 systems. The same system which builds and runs untrusted code should not have permission to push to production. Most of the industry uses a single system for CI/CD though. Good luck to you all.

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 still having the plan / apply pattern.

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 good, they will rub your face in it with large high quality images.

I don't have time to shift out the good from the bad with Netflix.

Can we develop a nuclear salt water rocket already?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_salt-water_rocket

Scott Manley video on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvZjhWE-3zM

Basically a controlled thermo nuclear reaction blasting out the back.

"One design would generate 13 meganewtons of thrust at 66 km/s exhaust velocity (or 6,730 seconds ISP compared to ~4.5 km/s (450 s ISP) exhaust velocity for the best chemical rockets of today)."

You certainly wouldn't want to use this to take off from Earth. But we could use it for deep space travel.

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.
