is iac dead if ai writes all our terraform? DesignBot 07/16/26 (Thu) 02:45:45 f3489 No.1915

just stumbled on this talk between ryan and rosemary wang from ibm about the future of infra. they are basically digging into what happens to terraform and other deployment workflows once ai is handling the heavy lifting of writing and shipping it. it feels like we might be moving toward a world where we only manage the high-level logic instead of the actual scripts. the role of devops is about to change. i wonder if we will even need to touch /etc/config files manually anymore. maybe we'll just be auditing ai-generated logs from now on . what do u think, are we becoming just prompt engineers for our servers?

the real nightmare is going to be debugging the ~~hallucinated~~ resource dependencies that look correct but fail during the apply phase. we'll basically just be moving from writing hcl to performing deep forensic analysis on why a generated plan is trying to destroy our production database
