"IaC is in trouble". Viewers who want the gist of Adam Jacob's claim can start at

, then possibly rewind a few minutes to hear his requirements for AI/LLM-based approaches.
I'm curious what people think, whether of his claim, of System Initiative and Swamp, of him, or of Chef and its trajectory…
if we dont do terraform, we just tell the ai our problems, and it solves them and then we don't really care how it did it

I prefer the deterministic path 😅

true, for now, but eventually, maybe in a couple months, the ai may become far more deterministic or require less "steering"

i mean, you gotta admit, it's evolving incredibly fast

yes totally agree on the evolution front. i don’t doubt that AI will get smart enough to manage changes. I’m just hopeful for some sort of artifact for it to reference so things stay consistent. Perhaps the MCP implementations will become fast enough and context-aware enough that “consistent” can be what ever the system is at the moment you make the prompt. The system prompt and implementation guides will still need to be dialed in. 🤖
