Have a good weekend

@mitchellh Show up at the next hashiconf and I’ll tell you some stories 🤣 Seriously though the partnership was felt by the community and great to see. I worked with some of the Hashi AWS alliance team and they were wonderful

@DrewMullen Yeah, I can't speak to how things work today (I've been out for years), and our partnership was such that we mutually worked towards launch day support TOGETHER. Which was nice. I never really knew how the nuts and bolts worked inside.

My marketing strategy with Terraform early on was "we ship support for new cloud features faster than the clouds themselves." And I'd setup timers and things to show how long it took us vs. them. It worked pretty well, a lot of people liked that. I did this because the biggest negative feedback I got early on was that Terraform would never be able to keep up with cloud providers. So I wanted to actively show the opposite. One day Amazon complained and forced me to take down a tweet about it because I hurt the CloudFormation team's feelings (allegedly). They soft-threatened a partnership we were negotiating so I complied. I was pissed. It was the only time I can remember ever "censoring" myself at someone's request. I remember telling our partnership VP to tell them they can resolve it by simply shipping the feature faster. He said he couldn't tell them that (obviously). I was just frustrated. I stopped doing the "we're faster than them" marketing after that because I didn't want to piss them off or risk our partnership anymore. Also, them getting mad about it was enough admission to me that we had defeated that point. You can find some of these tweets if you look at my history. There weren't any personal attacks, no inflammatory words, just stuff like: "We implemented feature X in Y days. Cloudformation still doesn't support it." I could absolutely see how that would feel bad if you were on that team. But like, we're businesses competing and there were no personal attacks here. I don't think its a shady tactic to point out what you do well and what your competition does poorly (so long as you're not being deceptive about it). It still makes me frustrated thinking about it. Anyways, it's nice to be so far post-infra now that I can just be honest and transparent about it all.

Any chance we'll see Switch 2 update for Divinity 2? Would love to see improved visuals and support for mouse mode! @LarAtLarian @larianstudios

@Pirat_Nation It’s called getting served

@LawrenceLepard really enjoying your book so far, #TheBigPrint. What’s the difference in this circumstance between printing money (to give to the banks I assume) be “protecting them”?

@DustinCanFly Awful news. So sorry for your loss

Last night after being induced over 24 hours prior, Holly needed an emergency c-section, and our beautiful baby son Emil Furman didn’t make it due to a placental separation that occurred. The causes at this time aren’t fully known. Our baby boy is with God in Heaven now. He meant everything to us. Thank you for your support of Holly and I leading up to this. We’re going to need some time to heal and won’t be around for a while. We’re with our friends and family and taking things as they come.

@kelseyhightower Yesssssss! It begins
