I wrote one of these "considered harmful" papers about the way Terraform passes ID / ARN / NAME / thing_name, policy.id, yadda yadda etc etc (a different way to refer to each resource from each other resource yields n^2 different ways things could be wired up) and I regret it. Seems a bit negative and pointless and I wish I hadn't written it. I'd rather just say, hey, if Terraform did "pass by reference" we could type less and implementers could take the data they need instead of devs needing to figure out which of 4 different IDs to pass for each of 4 different references for 20 different resources TLDR: Dont write a considered harmful paper. It's a trap. Write about how to make stuff better, not about how stuff is bad!
