>Did the author talk to any senior Terraform practicioners before building this?
They clearly did not. Their example of something that's supposedly not possible in Terraform:
"If you really do think that Terraform is code, then go try and make multiple DNS records for each random instance ID based on a dynamic number of instances. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you can do that in Terraform."

Is something a junior infrastructure engineer can do in about a dozen lines of Terraform code: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/if-you-really-do-think-that... (Taken from another comment here)
If they would have asked anyone that uses Terraform, they would not have written that.
