Besides the point, but Medium.com is not the answer if you want to publish text on the internet.
As for the article he's not proposing anything better.
Most of the gripes he has against IAC have nothing to do with the fact that your configuration is in a YAML file versus a GUI. They have to do with the problems of the systems that configuration is touching. Moving to a GUI would not help dependency hell, for example.

Terraform isn’t my domain, but do senior yaml engineers these days have proper guardrails against typos, wrong indentation, type errors etc?
