It’s been a while since I posted an update on the new house. We’re very nearly done! Here’s a quick sneak peek at our front door. (Don’t mind the dirt, it’s actually been power-washed since this picture was taken.)

In this image, the cat is Terraform and the frog is my carefully-constructed set of modules. Alternately, the cat is Terraform and the frog is my hope that my configuration will actually work. The interpretation is up to you.

Finding and fixing all the hard-coded instances of "0.0.0.0/0" is the #IaC version of Whack-a-Mole.

Confirmed, we broke ground this morning. Our GC sent over some photos of them starting to grade the home site. Thrilled that we've taken the first step!

Exciting news: looks like we will break ground for the new house on our property tomorrow! (It has taken a lot longer than I expected to finally get to this point.)

I'm pretty happy with Sublime Text as my editor, but I suffer from a bad case of tool curiosity. What are folks' thoughts on Zed? (Don't suggest VS Code, I've "been there, done that" and it's just too slow.)

Using #Pulumi with the S3 state backend? Make sure your PULUMI_BACKEND_URL is configured correctly to support deploying resources into other #AWS regions than where your state bucket lives! More details are found in this new blog post on my site. blog.scottlowe.org/2024/12/19/usi…

I still firmly insist that readability---in balance with DRY principles---must be a factor when writing & maintaining #IaC artifacts. This opinion was reinforced today in trying to decipher someone's very well-engineered but inscrutable #Terraform setup.
