My Pet Peeves with Terraform

I was excited to read this but sadly the author provides hardly any examples to support their statements, and several of their complaints are desirable properties of a provisioning lifecycle management tool (e.g., the complaint that multiple users of a shared terraform component need to contend with a state lock -- hint: this is a good thing...)

“ We at RunX are core contributors of Opta, an open source IaC tool built on top of terraform. It aims to solve a bunch of these issues for the most common use-cases in a modern tech stack.”<p>Advertisement disguised as “pet peeves”

Of course HCL sucks. Terraform isnt infra as code, it’s infra as config. Use CDK or Bicep or Pulumi to have a proper IaC setup.

This seems a lot like an advertisement for Opta rather than really pointing out issues with Terraform.
