    Don’t hate me here but this feels like that meme where the guy puts a stick in the spokes of his bike and blames the stick.

    I think that’s just a process problem, definitely depends on the specifics of your organization but I think if you raised that concern, you could probably come up with a solution that isn’t quite so burdensome, while maintaining the maturity level of IaC.

    And I hate to be that guy but that last sentence doesn’t seem have much at all to do with IaC. Big shops can use IaC, so can small shops. In my case it’s the latter, we just have so much tech spread across so many platforms that maintaining it purely via GUI is infeasible. IaC is simply the best way to go for us, due to the sheer number of moving pieces.

        Well, we can certainly agree to disagree. I’m not oblivious to having a blind spot here and there. In fact, I very much enjoyed our discussion here, and your perspective. It almost feels like a 2000s era forum discussion, before all the sour people got access to the internet. So thanks, and get well soon!
