@Aella_Girl US data only? Of my four kids it seems to be totally missing one of their names (Tallis)

@TafferKing451 @RobWestTV @WungusDasPungus Well this was a good reminder to leave a positive review for gloomwood.

@MCRReiners Sobbing that UK pay is so bad ONS doesn't even bother showing stats above £100k

@SterlingBrucks @SandyofCthulhu But insurance would have still paid out if you got sick at 25 with hardly any savings. Retirement is a know time away, sickness isn't.

Last week's deprecation of CDKTF has left quite a few people wondering what to do next. The official recommendation (export to HCL) is definitely one option — but at the same time, if you're using CDKTF, you probably chose it for a reason.

If language-first IaC is your thing, it might be a good time to have a look at Pulumi. I'm biased, to be clear — but the resource and programming models are about as close as you can get to what you're used to with CDKTF, and with the native conversion and import tooling (and maybe an assist from your favorite LLM), you can probably make the switch a lot more easily than you'd think.

Here's an example of what this looks like end to end if you're interested: https://t.co/T62E9zciBk

Happy to answer any questions as well. Hope it helps!

@Ethan151779 @sophie_mzy People I work with all seem happy there and some of them also moved there from UK/Aus. Then I get much lower tax and more support for home ed kids, and my wife doesn't work so US joint filing makes a big difference to household finances.

@MisterTimChan @sophie_mzy Remote work for a US company for the last few years, they were happy to move me to the office location

@NaMesoAtta Four babies co-slept with us both in the bed, sometime multiple children and the baby in the bed. No issues, just get a decent sized bed and don't have blankets and pillows everywhere.

@_ediri Literally did this today >.<

We just landed lots of goodies to enable Node.js monorepos for your infrastructure as code.

Now @PulumiCorp works great w/ @NxDevTools, @yarnpkg workspaces, @turborepo, @pnpmjs, and others.

Makes it super seamless to factor and componentize codebases.

[dax @thdxr]

we’re really excited to bring people into the pulumi ecosystem with sst ion

it is so well designed and the team behind it has been crazy hands on helping us with our weird requests

today is just a small milestone of everything they’re enabling us to do

[dax @thdxr]

it's officially not vaporware! sst ion is now generally available

i sat with a documentary crew to have a no BS, raw, unfiltered conversation about it

it came out kinda weird, link in reply

@adamhjk Yeh but 9am-3pm PST is 5pm-10pm GMT. It's a special kinda person who wants to work those hours.

[Fraser Ashyggton @Frassle]

@adamhjk Hiring across countries pretty much mandates async though. Your not going to get west coast US workers overlapping with central Europeans for a significant amount of time. Slack is still perfectly fine for those groups talking to each other though.

[Fraser Ashyggton @Frassle]

@rawkode @bronifty @davidfowl Yes but it has no reliance on HCL at all. And given TF's first mover position any reasonable IaC tool is either going to be single cloud (awscdk) or use TF providers, pulumi is not the only one e.g. https://t.co/rfr1fhB6uL.

[Fraser Ashyggton @Frassle]

@bronifty @rawkode @davidfowl > and i did not know pulumi relied on HCL / Terraform

It doesn't.

[Fraser Ashyggton @Frassle]

@davidfowl @PulumiCorp It is using async locals in most of the SDKs. Java and Go doesn't really support that so in those SDKs we have to thread a `context` value through everything.

[Fraser Ashyggton @Frassle]

@pierskarsenbarg @FilipPyrek Yeh as the blog post alludes to a fair bit. Automatic rollbacks are fraught with difficulties. Better to be explicit and roll forward.
