Curb-backed sidewalks are hostile infrastructure and we really need to stop allowing them as acceptable design code.

Some software engineering instincts and best practices can exacerbate challenges with blast radius and drift. The reason is that Infrastructure as Code is not like typical code. This post discusses some differences.

Trump referred to himself as “the builder president" who would fix America's roads and bridges.
The only thing he built was a tax code rigged for the rich.
Meanwhile, the Biden Admin has announced $454 billion in infrastructure projects in all 50 states.
The contrast is clear.

I've been researching some malware that uses Blockchain Smart Contracts as Command-and-Control infrastructure. Since blockchain data is public, I was able to write code to track how many new systems the malware infects each day. Blog post coming next week.

Actually happened to me:
"So if terraform is infrastructure as code, can you write terraform that solves Towers of Hanoi?"
I managed to talk them down to fizzbuzz and just used the template loops. It was very, very incredibly stupid both as a question and as something you should never ever do.

More dips believe in trump than musk, so trump has more success - for now. And when the divorce happens, musk won't care as long as he's funneled billions into his coffers and has enough info about/access to critical infrastructure code that he can continue to rip off/blackmail us.

Tomorrow I'll be joining the @massdriver.cloud team to discuss the limitations of GitOps, infrastructure as code, and why writing a bunch of Terraform isn't enough.
There will be some live demos and a Q/A session at the end to dive into the details.

Rethinking IaC: Self-Service Without the Red Tape
Join us for a live discussion with Kelsey Hightower and the team at Massdriver as we explore the future of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and tackle the big questions shaping the industry.
We’ll cover:
- Why GitOps might not be the right fit for IaC.
- The challenges developers face with discoverability, preauthorization, and documentation.
- How to deliver self-service infrastructure without turning developers into operations experts.
Get ready for bold insights, an exclusive demo of Massdriver's approach, and live Q&A to answer your toughest IaC questions.
