You buy enough to raise the price, announce that you’re buying it, schmucks try to get in on the wave, you dump while tweeting diamond hands.

Repeat.

In Nginx you can do rewrites so services think they are at the root.

The supply of an asset is the volume of that asset available for purchase.

If I buy all of that, supply becomes zero.

You misunderstand, if I own the GDP of a world power, what’s preventing me from buying a ton of Bitcoin and fucking with the supply that way?

Crypto nowadays looks like a pump and dump free for all.

Yeah, but a currency practically needs a military and an economy to back it.

Who is going to stop me from fucking with the bitcoin supply if I own the US economy?

Claude code has them, it’s just that this guy apparently doesn’t know how to do Terraform either

It’s not unheard of, in certain cases in certain more civilised states it does happen.

The state should be able to sue as layoffs put strain on the social system.

I used e/OS on an FP4 since Google started fucking with the power button, but the Danish government apps ban anything not made by an American megacorp. Had to reinstall Google Android.

If it’s anywhere in the public sector it might be a problem.

The guy who put the chat bot on the server, and then that guy may sue the other one if applicable.

I’m an engineer using Terraform and Claude Code as well in a much larger and more expensive setup than his.

You do not let Claude Code run terraform apply, it has zero benefits. All it does is that it runs the command and obscures the output. Most of the time is going to be spent in waiting for the automation anyway, most of the effort that you can spare is before running apply.

Also:

applying delete protections to Terraform and AWS permissions, and moving the Terraform state file to S3 storage instead of his local machine

These both take like 20 seconds, and should be in the getting started manual of Terraform and AWS databases respectively. Setting up remote state is 5 minutes in vanilla Terraform, 30 seconds in something like Terragrunt.

Also, use OpenTofu, stop supporting corporate acquisitions, also takes zero effort and money.

And finally:

most sysadmins will spot the baseline issues with Grigorev’s approach, including granting wide-ranging permissions to what’s effectively a subordinate of his, as well as not scoping permissions in a production environment to begin with.

No, not subordinate. Tool. Two big differences with it. A subordinate might understand more than you do about the code, a tool will guess and rely on you. And the second one is that you practically can’t separate your and your tools’ permissions, I mean Claude Code will supposedly ask you if it can use some tool or another and you can whitelist actions it can take, but it will never be completely locked out of destroying your database the way you can lock another user out.

Oh, there are those as well, I’m not dunking on juniors.

It’s just that my problems always tend to be caused by mismanagement of people.

Like just today I had to clean up after a “let’s do a quick and dirty experiment, oh it works so now it’s production, make 200 more features in a month built on top of the quick and dirty let’s just try it code, what do you mean we lost millions because of a regression nobody even noticed” situation.

Mara Jade, from the non-Disney Star Wars universe.

She’s Luke’s wife.

If you think any European country will take millions of foreign immigrants, you’re in for a surprise mate.

One of the two is actually a Tesla supercharger

I don’t think so, also electric chargers of varying quality are super ubiquitous in Europe.

My little Eastern European hometown of 20k people has two stations of 8 plugs each.

IDK, I’ve been here a few years, the company has existed for another few.

If it starts getting uncomfy, I’ll start looking for a better one. It worked out so far.

They will disarm you before they execute you on the street, like they did to Pretti.

You need comrades, not just guns.

In Hungarian, it’s still “Tíz kicsi néger”, though “néger” does not carry the same connotation in the language, if anything, it’s archaic.

You can be a mainstream politician and say it on live TV, and people will at most laugh at the old person.

Our version of the n-word is spelled the same.

Where in Europe does a private company do this?

GDPR explicitly outlaws it.
