After having worked with both Cloudformation and Terraform, I can see advantages within Terraform that you just don't have in Cloudformation, and I'm not even talking about it being cloud agnostic. AWS, please please Cloudformation to be more robust. Terraform is kicking your butt.

Is there a tech sphere around here? How do we connect to folks of similar interests?

After having tried vue3, I find it so much more appealing then react. In my opinion: Angular > vue3 > react. Angular still king. Just better structure. Vue has much better structure then react. React is just chaotic.

I have used Ai to help me generate code for examples. But never have I used pure generated Ai code certain and place it in production.

React is painful to use in a big project. I'm seriously considering switching over to Vue3 for this.

You learn new things every day. Today I learned how to use the same module multiple times using the same state file in Terraform. I would prefer using a development language while building infrastructure, but in this particular case, I have no choice. #devops #terraform

Tried cursor code editor. It feels so much like VSCode, which I'm really not a fan of. Much prefer the user experience form Jetbrains.

So sick and tired of being forced to watch CPC Ads running non-stop on CBC gem. And all they can talk about is the carbon tax. Weak.

Building a multiple page web application using React is a lesson in perservance and pain management. React was originally designed for a single web page. The bigger the application gets, the more chaotic the code becomes. Highly recommend other technologies for multi-page web appllications #react

What is your goto IDE for development? For me, can't find anything better then @jetbrains.com Intellij #developers

Loving working with golang. It does have some quirks though. #golang

What would you consider good use cases for the following frontend technologies? 1) angular 2) svelte 3) nextjs 4) react 5) vue #WebDevelopoment #frontend

Do you believe people are generally lazy? Would you consider yourself not part of that group?

What is your favorite language to write automation in when working with the cloud? For myself, my preferred language has been TypeScript for the past several years, although I'm finding myself getting more attached to GoLang recently. #DevOps

Which AWS service do you find one of the must useful to use? I'd personally go with Lambda. Serverless applications make such a difference in the cloud, removing pain from process with automation. #DevOps

Which IAC service do you prefer to use when creating resources with AWS? Let's say you are focused on AWS. Cloud Formation? Terraform? Pulumi? AWS CDK and Terraform CDK also options. #DevOps

What is your favorite thing about #photography ? I would say mine is capturing moments in nature for nature photography. And when doing model photography, working with body language and telling a story. I've injected humor in photography, just by working with body language.

Favorite game of this year for you so far? For me I would say it is still baldur’s gate 3. Haven’t played it in months and nothing I have played since comes close imho.

Those those in the #DevOps field, do you consider yourself more of a traditional DevOps individual, or more progressive? I consider DevOps folks with a developer mindset more progressive.

Starting to use golang more for building system tools then typescript.

Originally I was just going to take a break from twitter. However after reading their new terms of services, I decided to disactivate the account I have had for over a decade. Never going back.

One reason I left twitter was as due to too much political talk. Sounds like I didn’t escape it completely, my feed is starting to fill up once again with political discourse.

Who else here is Canadian?

For working on code, do you prefer using a code editor or a full IDE?

What is a game you can play over and over again?

Python has got to be one of the most frustrating languages to use. C, C++, Javascript, PHP, and Golang don't cause me this much grief.

What made you get into photography? What do you look for when you are about to take a picture? For myself, if I find something interesting I will take a picture of it. It has to have a story to it and points of attraction. I like to showcase relationships between two or more different things.

What is your favorite goto development language? What do you use it for?

Best picture I've taken. IMHO. Perfect blend of night lights with sunset. My biggest regret about this picture is not having a good camera at the time (this was taken with a Canon POS). Taken in 2002, before I really got into photography.

What might be the hobby that brings you a great amount of joy? Used to be sports for me. Now I think it is photography.

Anyone here a cyclist? Do you prefer road cycling or mountain/trail cycling?

What is your favorite Linux distribution? Was it the first one you tried?

Anyone like to talk about technology around here? Taking a break from twitter, but still interested in discussing tech.
