They will not let businesses invoice large cash amounts.

Yes, and we ousted out kleptocrat. Have you?

I guess this will also get overturned after six months.

Election will not get redone, but everyone will be very sorry and promise not to do it again.

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.

Since it’s an EU member, they can’t blatantly cheat at the elections, or at least they haven’t attempted to. There were borderline issues, like people mass transfering into swing districts, an empty lot with no buildings near the Ukraine border having 200 people registered there, but no ballot stuffing or anything. You can just go and be an observer, the opposition is always recruiting. The system gets a lot of its current legitimacy from legit-ish elections.

But on the other hand, the EU can’t reasonably kick Hungary out, no such clause in the treaties, and if you start making shit up, everything else that was agreed on through hard work also gets called into question. The most reasonable path forward to exclude Hungary is literally to form an EU 2.0, which the French have been thinking about loudly for a while.

BTW the biggest engine factory of VW and Europe is in Hungary. Kicking it out or even restoring the customs borders would have you run up agaisnt the German car lobby.

Read telex.hu/english to catch up. Biggest independent news site in Hungary, financed by readers (that’s what the popup is about, it’s not a paywall).

For example this article.

Orbán has been in the minority for months now, not just in polls but actual crowd turnout as well.

Hungary is currently making a serious effort. If nothing changes, Orbán loses the next election and either has to flee the country or go to jail in 2026.

Don’t get me wrong, I really hope for this to be a watershed moment for ousting Erdogan. We are all on the same side here.

Also, technically they are not the worst Middle Eastern ally of the West. Maybe giving Israel the go-ahead for their genocide showed that nobody cares about democracy and the rule of law in that part of the world anyway.

The Russians I’ve met were good, honest, creative and friendly people. That said, all the Russians I’ve met have left Russia.
