Terraform, as with any language, is mostly useless for humans now. It is for the agents full stop. You are correct though, we need to know the underlying architecture and most importantly why it is the way it is.

That is not true of Terraform, nor any other language. If you aren't at minimum reading and understanding the code, you are bad at your job, full stop. More realistically, you should still be writing a lot of code, because most of the time you will waste more time trying to work with LLMs than doing it yourself.
