And, BTW, I usually joke Terraform had bugs before the first line of code was written. What's even the point of caching a state if the state can be changed behind Terraform's back.
"You can absolutely write bad Pulumi code. You can over-engineer it. You can create abstractions nobody understands. You can make something simple feel clever for no reason.
But that is not a Pulumi problem.
That is a software design problem."
An uncomfortable idea is that these are basically the same thing. There's a reason the phrase "just enough rope to hang yourself" exists. A system that requires more software design <can be> a problem in and of itself.
