@NuanceBro @elonmusk @wholemars Plus on the 45 fwy between The Woodlands and Houston, it thinks the speed limit is 45mph on the fast lane of the fwy. Clearly something off with the GPS and maps. Happens every time I drive on the 45 for 2+ years and happened to me on Sunday with the latest update.

Coming to a fork near you!

[Yevgeniy Brikman @brikis98]

This is why I'm so excited for OpenTF. The momentum behind it is incredible. The future for Terraform is bright—and open.

We'll be making the fork available to you all very soon. Just getting the last few process, legal, and foundation things in order.

@antonbabenko @Hilafish1 IMO, all this hate around workspaces is all FUD. We manages thousands of root modules with dozens of environments and it works fine. You always need tooling to use terraform a scale. Many people use workspaces incorrectly but that doesn’t make them bad.

[Anton Babenko 🇺🇦 @antonbabenko]

Whom should I invite to "Your Weekly Dose of #Terraform" live streams?

Looking for companies and individuals doing great work relevant for the #Terraform community.

Please suggest! It will delay me doing live coding and improvised controversial talks.

💖 I'm sponsoring cloud poses because of the consistent quality of cloud and DevOps resources provided for the industry since I learned of this team in 2018. Definitely trending setters in the Technology industry. https://t.co/n3Bq1JaPjB

When we look back in five years, we are going to realize that there were 10 to 20 amazing companies that were started that changed the world and led us to a brighter future. Ask yourself: “Why Not Me” or “Why Not Us”. Now is your time. The world is waiting.

[Erik Osterman @eosterman]

Too true!

[Michael Hartl @mhartl]

There’s absolutely no way I could pass the coding interview at any of the big tech companies. Even the ones where the interviewer learned to code from one of my tutorials.

@WildCam_ @MicrosoftHelps Ya it was working for me up to yesterday. Now broken on all my
devices. Broken on Wifi and mobile network. No acknowledgement from @MSFT365Status or @office365

If I was @1Password’s VC, my value-add would be to tell them to rename it. I have told people “you should use 1password”, and have them respond “oh I do!”, only to later discover that they use “one password” for every service, the exact opposite of the right thing to do.

[Michelle Dhanani @michelledhanani]

If I recall correctly, @LachlanEvenson is the one who showed me:

kubectl get events --all-namespaces --watch

and I still love it. #kubernetes

[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

Spotted in Times Square! 😃 Very cool.

[HashiCorp, an IBM Company @HashiCorp]

Multi-cloud can mean many things to different people: Workload portability, Data portability, Traffic portability. But the one facet that @mitchellh & @armon strongly believe in is Workflow portability across clouds. Watch their discussion on multi-cloud: https://t.co/AWBNafSbmk

Following non-coders is so confusing. Couple definitions for some words you may see pop up on your time line:

📕 library: a place with books
📈 graph: a chart
🗺 map: used for navigation
🐍 python: snake
📚 heap: a pile of things
🌲 tree: a tall plant
🐞 bug: an insect

@kelseyhightower Don’t disagree that there are security implications that suck. Those will get fixed. Helm is a pkg mgmt system that has crude templating. Kustomize is for templating not pkg mgmt. K8s is like a new class of operating system. Every OS has pkgs. K8s needs one. Let’s fix, not bash.

[Erik Osterman @eosterman]

@eliot @hackerdrinkup Ah bummer, just left.

[Erik Osterman @eosterman]

@hackerdrinkup @eliot Anyone here?
