Applications developers often tell me about (to quote another post here) "the lurching tedium" of cloud infrastructure development.

Growing up in a datacenter, opening tickets and checking them weekly, hoping for the vendor to finally ship the right backplane; datacenter engineering used to take weeks, months, years. Waiting 30 seconds for terraform plan to check 120 resources which corresponds to thousands of pounds of metal and enough wattage to blow up the city I live in... doesn't seem too bad. That said, I understand where you javascript folks are coming from with your iteration loops, but still, you've gotten understand: it's so easy now.

Leaky abstraction, sure. But it's always great to see innovation in cloud infra.
