You’ve got no idea what it takes to earn a PhD then. My wife has a PhD in Psychology and definitely earned it. She has every right to have people call her Dr.

I know for a fact last two are wrong. And if I remember right, Spark isn’t it, sooooo but process of elimination, you’re correct?

“Cloud native” meaning k8s. Not really cloud, but could be used that way.

If you’re mastering GitHub, then you might as well master Actions.

I used to know Jenkins inside and out (worked at CloudBees). It’s not what it used to be and they’re losing market share.

Everywhere I’ve worked has stuck with TF as it would be a ton of tech debt to overcome to migrate out of TF.

I’ve actually not moved forward with Spacelift because they can’t use modern TF.

You need to have a compelling reason to switch to OpenTofu. Most of the ones who have switched is because they didn’t want the legal threat of extending TF. Spacelift is a good example.

The other ones are those who think it’s evil to stop having something be open sourced.

Try your best not to use count. for_each is a better option as order doesn’t matter.

We had The Fonze (Henry Winkler) speak at N.C. State back in ‘94.

I know the general area you live, this is unacceptable. Your state disapproves 😂
