A New Open Source Alternative to Terraform

“Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes“”

Hello, |LIST:NAME| Welcome to issue #340.

On a personal front, this week has been very busy. I have been traveling and speaking to Manchester first where I talked about S3 pre-signed URLs and then to the beautiful Desenzano (Lake Garda, northern Italy) where I talked about JavaScript iteration protocols. Now, I'm enjoying a spritz 🥃 on the like side as I edit this issue.

In this issue, we cover a variety of full stack-related topics, but we also cover some cloud stuff. Have you heard of OpenTofu already!? The name makes me laugh a little, but it's actually really serious and cool stuff if you do any infrastructure as code...

I hope you'll enjoy it!
