AI Speaks Terraform Like a Tourist
Is AI really just a “tourist” when it comes to Infrastructure as Code? While many DevOps practitioners find comfort in AI’s current struggles with complex Terraform repositories, this article argues we are misdiagnosing the problem. By comparing our current DevOps landscape to the “pre-React” era of web development, we explore why a lack of abstraction—not a lack of intelligence—is holding AI back. Discover why the shift toward high-level abstractions like BigConfig is turning AI from a fumbling tourist into a superhuman, and what this means for the future of your career.
