- wulfstan 11mo agoYes, this. You lock it into Terraform or some equivalent. And ok, this is a mistake you will probably only make once - I know, because I too have made it on a much smaller scale, and thankfully in a cost-insensitive customer's account - but surely if you're an infrastructure provider you want to try to ensure that you are vigilantly removing footguns.
- kikimora 11mo agoEspecially true now with Claude generating decent terraform code. I was shocked how good it is at knowing AWS gotchas. It also debug connectivity issues almost automagically. While I hate how it writes code I love how it writes terraform.

- sneak 11mo agoI do, all the time.
