alt Hacker NewsIt's odd to always say "Hashicorp, an IBM company". Looks like they want to assign blame.
I did try Pulumi a while back, but the compatibility with Terraform modules was not great, so I've switched to CDKTF, which can handle unmodified modules. Dunno if I'll switch back to Pulumi or just use OpenTofu directly.

I was recently working for a company which got acquired by IBM and we had to do it too. It’s an IBM thing. I bet most people at HashiCorp hate it, at least that was the case for us.
I have absolutely nothing good to say about Pulumi. Stay far, far away.
I was thinking the same thing about the "an IBM company". My guess is that it's a lazy find/replace.
They should have renamed it first to HashiCorp, an IBM Company CDK, then shut it down

Or it's legal trying to preempt a risk.
If it was the author just wanting to point at IBM, they'd mention it just once or twice, but using that awkward phrase throughout the text makes me think it was an edit mandated by a careful lawyer.
"Hashicorp, an IBM company"
Common sense would be IBM mandating that branding, as opposed to Hashicorp.

All their branding does this now, including the HashiCorp logo on their website [0]. There's gotta be a name for this specific branding pattern, but I don't know it.
