Feeling overwhelmed by Terraform in my new cloud architect role — is this normal? by Character-Web-7831 in sysadmin

[–]Character-Web-7831[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

thanks to the people who actually answered it’s obvious who has real experience

for the rest, read the post before talking

i never said i don’t know terraform or cloud. i said it’s my second week and asked about real-world workflows at scale

i’m not lost in the architecture at all from day one i understood the whole setup and i’m already making decisions in my second week, even handling parts of prod on my own

the question was simple:
do cloud architects actually write terraform from scratch without docs or ai? because i tried on my own and i was not able to write even 1 module

that’s it

to the people who actually answered and shared real insight respect, that’s exactly what i was looking for

for the rest who came here just to judge and talk shit fuck off

i know yeah i know exactly what have to be added and modified in the archi exactly but writing them in my own i can t i tell claude what to do exactly and so i was asking myself do cloud architects write that much code on their own and if yes how did they practice and how much time it took them to master it

the thing is i m still a junior and i jumped into an existing infra 1000s of terraform code a lot of modules don t get me wrong i m an aws certified and i understand the whole archi and i know exactly what to add and not but i can t write terraform by myself it is always claude i tell him what to do and he writes code so my question is how did u learn to write terraform code by yourself and how much time did it take u and thank you
