Pulumi is infra as code (actual code, like Python or TypeScript), and open source. Terraform is infra in the world's most hated config file format, not very well maintained, and is now proprietary. We have a winner.

@ekzhang1 Use: 100 * MEGABYTES Define megabytes once in your constants file and get it right. Your code also then becomes more readable and you don’t need the extra comment.

My main argument for crypto is this: - You pay someone 50 dollars. - A payment network takes 2% - The person you paid, pays someone else. - A payment network takes 2% After 34 transactions half the 50 dollars is gone. The other half went to the payment network.

OK so #JavaScript now has: - top level `await` - optional chaining `let age = response?.body?.person?.age` I'm happy. There's a few things I want out of the DOM and node APIs, but there's nothing major that I want anymore that JS doesn't have. Good times. 🙂

Excellent security UI from @phantom in this screenshot from @HeyAndyS 's video. It's a malicious transaction changing the authority of one of your token accounts. If the user clicks through the warning, Phantom shows the user is effectively sending all tokens to a new owner.
