- nojvek 7y agoMy experience with Terraform was suboptimal. At least with GCS, it would do weird things and mess up permissions. I found the documentation and it’s special syntax a pain. Just give me json with json schemas defines somewhere so vscode can give me great code completion and I can templatize as necessary

- 616c 7y agoBecause the DSL is complicated and you encounter weird edge cases even for not so complicated things. Common, almost ubiquitous in my circles, and often reliable are things I would say about it, painless is not. I was a bigger fan until using it daily focused on a project for a month on it more than anything else. I feel this strongly enough I'm looking at AWS CDK and troposphere, likely to learn I suck at writing my own imperative style terraform and to be more thankful. Lol
