    Released Wonk v0.8.0

    I just pushed Policy Wonk v.0.8.0.

    There are no code changes, just dependency updates and other cleanups. Now requires Python 3.9+, the oldest supported version. Migrated from poetry=>uv, black/flake/pylint=>ruff. Fixed minor typing deprecations.

    We wrote a pretty powerful AWS infra tool in Python, and haven’t done much with it in a couple years except to update its dependencies.

    I’m kinda thinking about porting it to Rust to get some extra type constraints (it’s already mypy-clean, but…) and make it a single executable deployment.

    Released The Policy Wonk

    Today we released the first public version of “The Policy Wonk”, or just “Wonk”. It’s a nifty tool we’ve been using at Amino for several months to manage our ever-growing set of AWS IAM policies, and acts as a sort of compiler/optimizer to combine lots of them together.

    Although it’s a young project, I’m proud of how it shaped up and I think it’ll be useful for lots of people.
