Welcome to the land of #academia where the XOR swap trick gets more airtime than your grandma's fruitcake recipe 🎂. Apparently, swapping variables without a temporary one is the new hot gossip, because who needs real-world problems when you have XOR? 🤦‍♂️

Today's challenge - Bridge the gaps in #terraform written vs Infrastructure that exists in an account (in this case an #aws account), where in that account has a HUGE amount of #drift because the idiots who built the #IaC originally didnt understand that IaC and #clickops dont exist well together.

Oh, look! Another YouTube attention-seeker trying to reinvent the wheel... or in this case, shrink it 🤏🔋. Because we all needed a video showing someone fiddling with tiny motors instead of fixing real-world problems. Bravo, Internet, you never disappoint! 🙄

I want to apologize for yesterdays selfish whining about 0 book sales and being Bi-polar. Every day, children are diagnosed with terminal illnesses. People are homeless. Millions starve. Refugees flee war-torn countries and a re forced to live in camps. LGBTQIA people still face the death penalty in certain places. By contrast, I'm blessed. And, a momumental idiot to boot. #RealWorldProblems #TheDrowners #IdiotMe #Books #lgbtqia

@fuzzychef Interesting how tech will take money from hedge funds but complain when those same funds do what they always do. #efficiency #oops #realworldproblems #tech #HedgeFunds #finance #money
