fitzohon Zed: High-performance AI Code Editor

I had the same problem, very hard to give up Jetbrains functionality and keybindings.

At the moment I’m using Claude Code in a dedicated terminal next to my Jetbrains IDE and am reasonably happy with the combination.

fitzohon Monster Energy Goes After Indie Dev for Using the Word 'Monster'

>How do you feel about them going after Ubisoft's Gods and Monsters?

Ridiculous overreach.

I had the same initial reaction to this story, but I could imagine a scenario where someone saw the dark deception logo and thought it sort of looked like the Monster energy logo. Having said that, I still don't think there's any real chance of confusion.

fitzohon Monster Energy Goes After Indie Dev for Using the Word 'Monster'

>I don't understand how the beverage company could rightfully object to any game title like "Dark Deception: Monsters & Mortals".

It makes a bit more sense when you look at the game's logo, specifically the font they use for the word "Monsters"

fitzohon You Can't Buy Integration

Two things missing from the Step Functions portion of the article:

* Step Functions module in the AWS CDK: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/latest/docs/aws-stepfunc...

* Step Functions Data Science SDK (python): https://aws-step-functions-data-science-sdk.readthedocs.io/e...

There is first class support for defining Step Functions using real programming languages (although it does compile down to the states language dls before deployment)

Pulumi's biggest benefit is if you want to manage resources outside of AWS. There are providers for Azure, GCP, GitHub, Postgres, Datadog, etc.

It's also nice if you want to be able to manage resources in multiple AWS regions or accounts from a single stack.

>The biggest difference I can see between CDK and pulumi (other than CDK only being for AWS) is that the CDK is more opinionated. When you spawn a new database, it'll automatically create a secret in secretsmanager, and set up rotation etc. And since it can assume IAM, it generates granular policies for you easily with calls like `dbInstance.grantRead(lambdaInstance)` etc, instead of you having to manually construct a JSON policy.

Hopefully this will get better soonish on the pulumi side. [awsx](https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-awsx) has existed for a while which is sort of takes the CFN higher level construct approach, but it's currently typescript only.

They just finished some foundational work to enable multi-language components, and I expect we'll see some opinionated/higher level components from them for all languages in the next 6 months or so.

>Not to mention, CloudFormation actually allows ~transactions, which is something you can't really get without cooperation from the cloud provider (terraform and pulumi both use cloudformation on AWS for exactly this reason)

Terraform and Pulumi use Cloudformation?

Just stalked you on linkedin with a similar question, but I was wondering if you were involved with the actual process of getting the library open sourced, and how that works at a large security focused company like JPMorgan Chase. (former Chase employee)
