I will say I've had a lot of success with AI and boiler plate HCL.
I try to avoid modules out of the gate until I know the shape of a system and the lifecycles of things and I've been pleasantly surprised with how well the AI agents get AWS things correct out of the gate with HCL.
This should super charge this workflow since it should be able to pull out the provider docs / code for the specific version in use from the lockfile.

I know it’s meant to be hours… but real life. What I enjoyed using cursor was when shit went wrong it could generate the gcloud cli commands etc to interrogate, add the results of that to the agent feed then continue.
- Lucasoato 1y agoFinding the right command every time is the real time saver. Ok, it’s probably something that a developer should know how to do, but who remembers every single command for cloud providers cli? Querying the resources actual state makes these AI infra tools so powerful, I found them so useful even when I had to manage Hetzner based terraform projects.
