I don't know the details of BSL, but can HashiCorp now require compensation/$$$ from Spacelift, Scalr, Env0, etc? In that case, these products can be forced to offer similar pricing as Terraform Cloud.

> The problem we hit is knowledge: while Terraform is not a huge knowledge hurdle to mount … it is still apparently enough. While good engineers will have no problem picking TF up, … more mediocre ones seem to struggle with it¹.

That sounds just like one of our problems too. Some engineers arent really to keen on learning it either.

But my platform team spends some time on going on 1-1 sessions where we develop new things together with them (mob programming), which gives us possibility to teach and get insights. That mitigates this problem somewhat.

As long as it's part of the required steps to delivering business value, it doesn't matter that much if it's application code or infrastructure (as code). Both are required, hence both are delivering business value.

In my organization, we teach developers Terraform, and give them a reference Terraform setup (IaC repository) for running their apps in.

They also have broad permissions in their own, isolated AWS account.

There are some tradeoffs, but one pro is that they don't need to request permissions from a devops teams.

$8/mo is also much higher than one time $19 payment.

And $8/mo is only if you pre-pay one year, or else it's $10/mo.

How come nobody has mentioned the endless hazzle in Linux to make multiple displays work as expected?

On most setups, I find myself lucky if _something_ doesn't go wrong when connecting my displays with a mix of USB-C and HDMI. And of course I cannot place my second screen to the right, it has to go to the left (in XFCE).

In Windows this just works, and I believe Mac is better as well.

Here's mine:

fisher install PatrickF1/fzf.fish fisher install urbainvaes/fzf-marks

# These two to get sdkman and nvm to work in fish, IIRC fisher install reitzig/[email protected] fisher install jorgebucaran/nvm.fish

When flying, I will avoid using an online travel agency (OTA) as well if I can .

I booking with Gotogate.com, but the flight was canceled. Then when trying to get a refund Gotogate systematically try to stall time as much as possible. You have to call support, and are answered by people with very thick Indian accent which is impossible to understand.

Luckily I had paid with Paypal, so I could request a refund through there.

Unfortunately, when booking flights that needs connections, you have to use an OTA. If one flight is cancelled, the others should be too, which an OTA fixes.

Pretty nice!

> having everything squashed into one commit can be annoying if the commit is too large, because it can be hard to identify why a specific change was made via git blame.

True, you can't via git blame. You can however go to the Github pull request, and look at the individual commits there. (If the the squashed commits containthes the PR/issue number.)

Totally agree. And so does my team. We solve this by running daily Slack-ups, i.e. just tell what you're doing on Slack, which is much, much faster.

We only use daily standups when there are new people on the team.

What kind of micromanagement did you experience / E.g. do you have an example?

I'm in the position where I as tech lead don't fully know if I can trust my team (yet) to do the right decisions. One of the reason is that our product is quite new, and we haven't discussed developing principles yet. And some people tend to over engineer stuff all the time. But I also don't want to micromanage.

I play FPS games, and I perform worse when I'm drinking, and I get sleepy. So for me it works better to stay sober. Actually I prefer to stay sober even while watching a show, because I don't like the dizzy feeling, unless if drinking socially.
