>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.
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)
>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)
Microsoft is now building a Chromium-powered version of its Edge browser that will be available for testing in the coming weeks. It’s being decoupled from Windows 10, and businesses will be able to install Edge on Windows 7 or Windows 8.
At the moment I’m using Claude Code in a dedicated terminal next to my Jetbrains IDE and am reasonably happy with the combination.
