24 alternatives to Pug, a TUI for Terraform

Pug is a full screen terminal user interface for terraform. I wanted a tool that could scale terraform without leaving the terminal. There are plenty of SaaS products (terraform cloud, etc), and yes there is terragrunt but its interface is sorely lacking. I want logs to be organized and easily accessible. I also wanted to view and manage state resources at scale without endlessly rattling out `terraform state ...` commands. Pug provides all this in one small binary. You can fire off 1000s of terraform plans and applies and see their output in real-time. All the common terraform commands are…

    Hi HN, I’ve been building this provider for (web managed) network switches manufactured by HRUI. These switches often used in SMBs, home labs, and by budget-conscious enthusiasts. Many HRUI switches are also rebranded and sold under various OEM/ODM names (eg. Horaco, XikeStor, keepLiNK, Sodola, etc) making them accessible/popular but often overlooked in the world of infrastructure automation. The provider is in pre-release, and I’m looking for owners of these switches to test it and share feedback. My goal is to make it easier to automate its config using Terraform/OpenTofu :)…

    I originally was just messing with pi-autoresearch. Gave it a sample task to build the most portable coding agent. First cut was 6 KB of shell. Great for one-shots, unusable interactively. I was shocked it actually worked. Started building up -- adding features — but with a self-imposed rule: no new dependencies, and sub 500 LOC. This thing had to be truly portable. Just sh, curl, awk. System primitives only. Which means I did some genuinely disgusting things in awk, including JSON parsing and the OpenAI Responses tool loop with reasoning items carried across turns. It's now ~400 lines. In…
